Starz cancels 'Counterpart' but Season 3 could be a reality at a new home
All great thing comes to an end, and so is STARZ's sci-fi thriller, 'Counterpart'. Coming from creator Justin Marks, this ambitiously thoughtful show has been dealing with the topic of parallel dimensions, wherein it looks into lives of the counterparts of each individual as one version tries to take over the other.
Starring JK Simmons as Howard Silk, Olivia Williams as Emily Silk Burton, Harry Lloyd as Peter Quayle, Nazanin Boniadi as Clare, Sara Serriaoccio as Baldwin, and Nicholas Pinnock as Ian Shaw, the show has now been cancelled by STARZ, which means that Episode 17 of Season 2, set to air on February 17, will serve as the series finale.
The news was confirmed by Marks who took to his social media account to share the news with his fans. Rake stated in a series of tweets, "Hey #counterpart fans, a bit of sad news… Starz has decided not to pick up our show for a 3rd season...It’s been an absolute dream for this team… we got to make EXACTLY the show we wanted to… perfect cast, perfect crew on 2 continents… and we’re so grateful to our network for the time we had...Thank you to everyone who made this journey so special for us. Your tweets, podcasts, and intricate conspiracy theories have made it all worthwhile. Fingers crossed that our wonderful studio, MRC, can find a way to keep the dream alive!"
