Vinyl fans wave goodbye to all hopes of a season 2…
Vinyl was the hit show which followed the fictional American Century Records – a label struggling to reinvent itself and capture a new sound.
Bobby Cannavale played the record executive, with both Martin Scorcese and Mick Jagger directing. As part of the ‘set,’ Scorcese transformed Brooklyn’s Rough Trade record shop into a 1970s music drama. In a statement HBO said…
”After careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with a second season of ‘Vinyl. We have enormous respect for the creative team and cast for their hard work and passion on this project.”
The reason to stop season 2 came after a major executive shake up knocked programming rankings. Last month Michael Lombardo stepped down as Programming President after nearly 10 years of service.
Casey Bloys, HBO’s former Head of Comedy stepped up to replace Lombardo, and the decision was made that the budget originally set aside to launch season 2 of Vinyl, would be better spent on other pending projects.
