Looks like Boss has been cancelled but there maybe a wrap up movie.

Mayor Kane’s TV reign is over.

Starz has decided not to go ahead with a third season of the Kelsey Grammer political drama Boss.

The premium cabler and Lionsgate TV, which produces the series, are kicking around the idea of a two-hour movie that would wrap the Chicago mayor’s tumultuous story, our sister site Deadline reports.

Boss‘ cancellation makes Spartacus the only Starz original series to survive for more than two seasons.

PC: What can you tell me about the development of the SPRING AWAKENING feature film?

DS: We are working on it – we are really working on it. There are teams being put together and I guess that if everything goes as we hope we might be shooting as early as next spring – but, there are a few things that need to fall into place before that happens.

PC: Who is directing?

DS: Well, McG is the director and the person spearheading the charge of making the movie and as of right now we are hoping to start shooting in Eastern Europe next spring.

PC: Will it be an entirely new cast, do you envision?

DS: Yeah – probably.

PC: Inevitably, given that the original cast are all mid-20s or more at this point.

DS: Yeah, especially with the movie, even more so than the play, you want them to be around the real ages that the kids are in the actual story.

PC: When Jonathan Groff did this column, we discussed the possibility of GLEE taking on SPRING AWAKENING someday. Is that something you would enjoy seeing come to fruition?

DS: Well, I think this is a conversation that has actually taken place – obviously, Ryan Murphy was a big fan of SPRING AWAKENING and obviously that’s part of why he knew about Lea and Jonathan, but I don’t know for sure; for some reason it hasn’t happened yet, mysteriously. I would be psyched to see it, though.

PC: It has the potential to be a groundbreaking property as a film. There is a whole new generation of theatre fans out there thanks to GLEE and SMASH and performing arts-based entertainment that is available to them now, as I’m sure you are aware.

DS: I am and I think that is so fantastic. You know, here is the thing: there are shows like WICKED, JERSEY BOYS and MAMMA MIA that have infiltrated the culture in such an intense way that so many people saw them and loved them; and, also, people made enormous amounts of money on them. [Laughs.]

PC: You can say that again.

DS: So, of course, really, you just jump into this sphere because it is a really vibrant art form and it’s really exciting to be a part of it all.

PC: And as someone composing contemporary scores, you are influencing a whole generation yourself.

DS: Thank you. That’s nice to hear.
