Starz Cancels 'Party Down'

EW's Auseillo Files confirms the sad news, Staz has cancelled Party Down. A statement from Starz VP of programming reads: "After careful consideration, we've decided not to continue on with subsequent seasons of Party Down andGravity. 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."

Although, it's hard to imagine how they could be 'aggressively expanding' when they cancel something that was gaining as much traction as Party Down. The Season Two finale brought back fan favorite Jane Lynch and showed real heart with a main character's return to acting. Creator Rob Thomas told E! "I'm not sure that any of us are terribly surprised today, but we're all really disappointed. One of the things we loved about doing the show is that we felt like we got to write to an audience of our circle of friends. I think that's exactly who ended up watching it. So, in that respect, mission accomplished!"

While a critical and cult success, the ratings for Party Down just weren't delivering. Margaret Lyons expounds on why Party Down was one of her favorite shows.

And while it is sad, it's hard to imagine the show going on without star Henry (played by Adam Scott). He was said only to be returning as a guest star if the show had been picked up for a Season Three of Party Down.
