File this under news that totally sucks.
Starz has decided not to renew critical fave Party Down after just two short seasons, and tons of love from TV folks like us. Unfortunately, the numbers simply weren't there (in Nielsen terms, just about no one was tuning in!), so a third season is off the table.
Explains Starz executive vice president of programming Stephan Shelanski, who also announced the end of freshman series Gravity today:
"After careful consideration, we've decided not to continue on with subsequent seasons of Party Down and Gravity. We're grateful to everyone involved in the shows, and are proud to have had them on the channel. Starz remains committed to aggressively expanding our original programming lineup."
P.D. fans can still get a minifix of its stars by tuning in to see Adam Scott on Parks and Recreation (whenever that returns) and Ryan Hansen in NBC's new fall series Friends With Benefits. But—sigh—it just won't be the same without Lizzy Caplan and Ken Marino in the mix, will it?
There might be a teensy silver lining here: The end of Party Down could mean more free time on Rob Thomas' plate to, I dunno, pen a script of that Veronica Mars flick? Just sayin'. You listening, Kristen Bell?
Say your sad so longs to Party Down and Gravity in the comments below, then start petitioning Rob to get going on that whole V. Mars thing. Don't worry, we'll join in, too.
