What happened to the show vinyl?
Subsequently, one may also ask, why did HBO vinyl get canceled?
Sources say the decision to cancel Vinyl rather than reboot the series for season two is part of a move designed to free up new HBO programming head Casey Bloys to put his stamp on the premium cabler. Vinyl becomes the latest HBO series to be canceled after earning a second season.
Moreover, is the show vinyl coming back?
HBO has changed course on Vinyl. The 1970s rock n roll drama had been renewed for a second season with a new showrunner, Scott Z. Now the premium cable network has decided not to go with Season 2 of the series, executive produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger.
HBO has been proudly touting that its latest period drama (yes, a show about the '70s does count as a "period drama" nowadays) is from the mind of The Rolling Stones' frontman Mick Jagger. However, that doesn't mean you should expect Vinyl to be based on a true story.
