The Cameron Crowe dramedy will not return for Season 2.
September 16, 2016
It's one and done for Roadies. Showtime has cancelled the freshman summer series after its first season. Following an eclectic road crew who work on a rock band's major tour, the hour-long dramatic comedy premiered in June for a 10-episode run that ended in late August.
Created by Cameron Crowe, the series marked the famed writer-director's first foray into television. Reception by both audiences and critics, however, was decidedly mixed, resulting in lackluster ratings that fell short of expectations.
Roadies' cancellation is the third music-related series casualty this summer. HBO's Vinyl and FX's Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll were both recently axed after failing to catch on with viewers.

I agree with Jim. This was really boring and uninspired. They assumed just having musical guest on was enough.. it really wasn't. The storyline was really, really, really, drab for the premise. The ONLY spark of interest was the stalker fan.. but they killed that the first episode.... morons. And everyone is supposed to really care about Phil dying.. but out of 10 episodes he was in what? 3? So who give a flying f...

I had high hopes for all 3 of these shows but just didn't like any of them.

Sorry to see it go. It certainly wasn't perfect, but I did enjoy the music part of it, including sprinkling in cameos by real artists.

It took you long enough to pull the plug on this show.
