'Da Vinci's Demons' News, Update: Starz Confirms That Season 3 Will Be the Show's Last Run
Despite its strong following from fans, Starz' hit historical fantasy drama TV series "Da Vinci's Demons" will have its last run with its upcoming third season, according to reports. The network will premiere the new season's installment in October.
"While ending Leonardo's [Tom Riley] journey is bittersweet for me, I'm happy we're ending the story on a high note," series creator and executive producer David S. Goyer told Entertainment Weekly. "Leonardo was famous for his mirror-writing, and there's a symmetry to the entire series—between the first episode and the final one—that I think the maestro would have appreciated. I want to thank our dedicated fans around the world for viewing and engaging with such passion. I want to thank Starz for joining me on this crazy romp."
"And I want to thank Tom Riley for turning in a consistently brilliant performance. It's no small feat to portray a genius, but Tom did it with grace and humor. I hope everyone enjoys these final episodes as much as we enjoyed making them," he added.
