E! is out of the scripted business for the time being & that means The Royals is a casualty of that change. The network has canceled the series after 4 seasons.
“E! will not be moving forward with another season of The Royals, which launched in 2015 as the network’s first original scripted series,” a network spokesperson said. “Over four seasons, The Royals took viewers behind the palace gates on a scandalous journey filled with twists and turns. We are grateful to the cast and our producing partners at Lionsgate and Universal Cable Productions.”
Producer Lionsgate may look to land the show at Pop, the cable channel partly owned by the indie studio. This means all hope isn’t lost but no deal has been made as of yet.
The Royals was a drama about a fictional British Royal family set in modern day London, who inhabit a world of opulence and regal tradition that caters to any and every desire, but one that also comes with a price tag of duty, destiny and intense public scrutiny.
