Welp…in news that is sure to be a bummer, it’s been confirmed by THR that PBS’ civil war mini series Mercy Street will not return for a third season.
PBS and the producers cited “the complicated nature of aligning production timelines and funding commitments” as the reason behind the show’s sudden end.
“We are extremely proud of both seasons of Mercy Street,” said Beth Hoppe, PBS chief programming executive. “Our talented executive producers, Lisa Wolfinger, David Zabel and David W. Zucker, brought to life an entertaining and historically accurate account of this time, along with the equally talented team of actors led by Josh Radnor as Dr. Jedediah Foster and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Nurse Mary Phinney; the directors, producers and crew who created a visually rich, high-quality series; and our sponsors and partners who helped make Mercy Street possible.”
Premiering in January 2016 alongside the final run of Downton Abbey, Mercy Street marked PBS’ first original series in more than a decade. The drama opened to 3.3 million viewers and ranked as PBS’ second highest-rated drama of 2016, behind only Downton Abbey. Season two, which kicked off in late January and wrapped March 5, drew 6.5 million viewers for the first three episodes with seven days of DVR factored in.
In other news, after much casting rumors that bounced around for months, Mary will not be playing Domino in Deadpool 2. Instead, the role will be played by Atlanta‘s Zazie Beetz.
Mercy Street always reminded me of Time where People devoted their life for others .Where Mary confront all sorts of problem:Care for Troops , Deal with slaves and freed people. It was Educational too and civil war was there.But It is so unfortunate that we’ll not see more part of every Character. 🙁 and What would happen to Mary Phinney
There is still some part of me that don’t wanna believe that Mary Elizabeth Winstead is not playing Domino
Ryan Reynolds tweeted new Domino(Zazie beetz) .She is not in her thirties ,but I guess It was also a rumor
But I am proud of my Actress/Singer/Producer =Mary Elizabeth Winstead because she has a talent bag and She surprises us every time.
