The cast and crew of the Prodigal Son<\/em> received some sad news<\/a> this week. FOX cancelled the drama so there won\u2019t be a third season. While they\u2019ve already filmed the defacto series finale (it airs on May 18th), they still have plenty to say.<\/p>\n

A crime thriller series, the Prodigal Son<\/em> TV series stars Tom Payne, Lou Diamond Phillips, Aurora Perrineau, Frank Harts, Keiko Agena, Bellamy Young, Halston Sage, Michael Sheen, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Season two guest stars include Christian Borle and Michael Potts. In the story, Malcolm Bright (Payne) is an extraordinary criminal psychologist who knows how killers think and how their minds work. In the 1990s, his father, Dr. Martin Whitly (Sheen), was a notorious serial killer called \u201cThe Surgeon\u201d who killed at least 23 people. Since murder is \u201cthe family business\u201d, Malcolm uses his twisted genius for good, to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers. He works alongside his longtime mentor, Gil Arroyo (Phillips), and two detectives \u2014 no-nonsense Dani Powell (Perrineau) and JT Tarmel (Harts), a born-and-bred New Yorker who questions whether Bright is a psychopath himself. In season two, Malcolm must deal with the repercussions of the first season finale and his father seeks to deepen his relationship with his prodigal son. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Airing on Tuesday nights, the second season of Prodigal Son<\/em> averages a 0.41 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.09 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season one, that\u2019s down by 45% in the demo and down by 38% in viewership. The ratings were reportedly a big factor in the cancellation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not known yet if the FOX show will be shopped to other outlets. The series is co-produced by Warner Bros. Television so HBO Max may be the most likely candidate.<\/p>\n

Here are some thoughts from the cast and crew regarding the cancellation:<\/p>\n

What a trip<\/a>. Playing Malcolm has been a joy and a privilege. The best cast on network TV and the most unique show around. We did it in style. Love to everyone who enjoyed it all along with us. And check out the last two eps! THEY ARE AMAZING. \ud83d\ude18 #ProdigalSon<\/a><\/p>\n
