Starz Cancels Camelot

NEW YORK: The ambitious period drama Camelot has been canceled by Starz after just one season, having ended its ten-episode run on June 10.

The show, a contemporary retelling of the Arthurian legend, will not be returning for a second season, despite a strong start, as Starz’ largest ever opening for a new drama, set in early April.

"Due to significant production challenges, Starz has decided not to exercise the option for subsequent seasons of Camelot with our production partners GK-tv, Octagon Films and Take 5 Productions," a Starz statement said.
