Deadline reports that CineMax has cancelled Steven Soderbergh's THE KNICK following two seasons. A statement by Cinemax's programming chief Kary Antholis reads "After a critically acclaimed two-season run of THE KNICK on Cinemax, we will not be going forward with additional episodes of the series," said Kary Antholis, president, HBO Miniseries and CineMax Programming. "Despite our pride in and affection for the series, as well as our respect for and gratitude towards Steven Soderbergh and his team, we have decided to return CineMax to its original primetime series fare of high-octane action dramas, many of which will be internationally co-produced."
Starring Clive Owen, André Holland), Eve Hewson and Juliet Rylance,
THE KNICK kicks off its ten-episode second season, exclusively on CINEMAX. Rich in period detail,
THE KNICK captures the era's unique zeitgeist, when huge strides in technology transformed medicine and treatments that were once thought impossible became commonplace. The series also addresses slowly changing social norms at a time when the gulf between rich and poor was profound, and the idea of racial equality a distant dream.
The returning ensemble cast includes Jeremy Bobb ("The Wolf of Wall Street," "House of Cards"), Michael Angarano ("The Stanford Prison Experiment," "Empire State"), Chris Sullivan ("The Drop," HBO's "The Normal Heart"), Cara Seymour ("I Origins," "An Education"), Eric Johnson ("Rookie Blues"), David Fierro ("Birdman : Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)"), Maya Kazan ("Frances Ha," HBO's "Boardwalk Empire"), Grainger Hines ("Lincoln"), Leon Addison Brown ("Lincoln: A Walk Among the Tombstones"), Tom Lipinski ("Sometimes I Lie"), Charles Aitken ("The Girl on the Train"), Jennifer Ferrin ("Falling Skies"), Perry Yung ("Royal Pains"), Rachel Korine ("Spring Breakers") and Michael Nathanson ("Side Effects"). Cast newcomers include Andrew Rannells (HBO's "Girls"), Zaraah Abrahams ("Da Sweet Blood of Jesus"), Annabelle Attanasio ("Anchovies"), Arielle Goldman ("The Zebra Room") and Emily Kinney ("The Walking Dead").
