Starz said today that due to significant production challenges, the network has decided not to exercise the option for subsequent seasons of its freshman original series Camelot.
^^^ is exactly right. IMHO, Camelot's saving grace was Joseph Fiennes' surprisingly-good take on Merlin. Sean Pertwee was excellent too but his character was killed off early. The casting of Arthur (to be fair, the actor did seem to be improving, slowly, as time went by) and Morgan (Eva Green's horrible voice - there, I said it!) were the big negatives. And the writing for the filler episodes was awful, I'm sorry to say. Too bad.mike caronia said:I think the problem was HBO whipped out Game of Thrones which was superior in every way. Made Camelot look like a high school production.
