Damn. I’m not surprised but was hoping at least for a shorter lower budget final season to tie things up.

it's incredibly expensive and no one watched. it's pretty simple, the people who are surprised by this are dumb :monkey:

duh all the fans knew that sherlock

but we still expected them to do a reduced final season to wrap up the story at least. what about legacy?

Season 3 killed this show, it was terrible. Season 4 was good but it was too late.

‘House of the Dragon’ Ratings Fall Far Below Expectations During Season One

 

There's about 2 or 3 others I don't have the patience to look up links on at the moment.

This is a hilarious article from an absolutely random alt right website. :dies: It only discusses live TV ratings that barely any show uses as a metric anymore considering how much cable has fallen. That era is over.

Imagine saying that barely anyone is watching House of the Dragon and comparing it to Westworld of all shows when it is arguably the biggest show this year, averaging 29 million viewers each episode. It went above and beyond what anyone expected for its debut season. Its first season has been bigger than any Game of Thrones season besides the last two.

Variety: ‘House of the Dragon’ Episode 10 Sees 9.3 Million Viewers, Biggest HBO Season Finale Since ‘Game of Thrones’

This is honestly so sad. I remember when I started watching it back in 2016 and I didnt like the first ep so I dropped it.

But a few weeks ago I decided to give it a 2nd chance and I absolutelyyyyy LOVEDDDD it. I was so looking forward to season 5 :weeps:

I fear for Tokyo Vice now :biblio:

Tokyo Vice was renewed for a second season so it should be fine. This cancellation isn't tied to the HBO Max string of cancellations.

Like others have already pointed out, this was probably one of the most expensive HBO shows to make and the viewership been tanking, so...

Posted

So unfair.  This at least deserves a movie to wrap everything up.

I watched S1 and thought it was okay. Nothing exceptional.

I’m disappointed :weeps:

Good. I don't watch that

I remember absolutely loving the first season and i was thinking it was gonna be THE next big thing... then i couldnt even get through season 2 and have never tried watching it again :rip:Exactly like Stranger Things :rip:

S3 wasn't even bad, it just wasn't at the same level as S2 or S1. But S4 was a great, even better than S2 i would say. 

 

It's a shame. but as others have pointed out, it looks like an expensive show and the interest was not there unfortunately :chick3:  I hope they make a movie to wrap things up at least. Maeve doesn't deserve that uneventful ending :chick3:

Exactly my sentiments. Can’t believe this show lasted as long as it did.

 

HBO is also trash for cancelling Raised Among Wolves despite critical acclaim.

Raised by Wolves deserved at least four seasons :cries:

They needed the budget for better CGI dragons on HOTD S2 :clap3: Good decision. This show was hot for a minute but I was always SO LOST. Nothing ever made sense until the last ten minutes of the season when all the puzzle pieces were put together.

we all celebrated.

It truly did. Season 2 was amazing and was going in the right direction. I hope another network picks it up.

couldn't they just renew it for one final season? sigh

Tbh, no Emmys and no ratings for the last couple of seasons... there's no surprises.

 

S2 was a convoluted mess trying so hard to emulate the god-tier that was S1. And S3... Jesus. Ever since Aaron Paul came to ruin the entire show it turned out into an unserious disaster.

 

It had so much potential to create an entire universe, but the bar was raised so high that it should've stayed as a miniseries.

well i lost :gaycat6:

I lost and people said I shouldn’t be worried way back when :rip:

 

I saw the sign of cancellation but let the HBO name fool me. To be fair it got at least one more season than I expected. It’s fine this show was really good for ALL the seasons and the people who got it, got it. I’m satisfied because it wasn’t popular, I understand the decision even tho I wish we got more

didn't know that :jonnycat: what a nice surprise

This show never convinced me since the pilot despite being a fan of the creator, I tried to start it more times given the popularity but couldn't pass the third or fourth episodes, something never convinced me, I always perceived it weak, an attempt to recreate another 'Lost' but couldn't do it, glad to see I was right once again.
