Banshee's Return Unlikely, Says Showrunner
6 Jun
Summary
- Showrunner Jonathan Tropper doubts a fifth season due to audience size.
- Antony Starr, star of Banshee, now leads the hit series The Boys.
- Banshee concluded its run about ten years ago on Cinemax.
Cinemax's acclaimed action series Banshee, which concluded its four-season run approximately ten years ago, is unlikely to see a revival. Showrunner Jonathan Tropper recently expressed doubt about the possibility of a fifth season.
Tropper indicated that while he and star Antony Starr, who has since achieved significant fame as Homelander in 'The Boys,' remain in contact, the original audience size for Banshee makes a continuation improbable. He suggested that with Starr's increased visibility and the show's availability on streaming platforms like HBO Max, the perceived audience for a new season isn't robust enough to warrant a return.
The series finale saw Sheriff Lucas Hood (Starr) discovering the killer of his niece, Rebecca, and bidding a tearful farewell to Carrie (Ana) before leaving Banshee for a new start in New York City. The show, known for its blend of crime drama and intense action, has maintained a devoted cult following.
