By The Michael Mann-produced crime drama series “Tokyo Vice” has been cancelled, the series ending its run after two seasons on Max.
The news was revealed on Saturday during the PGA’s Produced By conference in Los Angeles where a panel for both “Tokyo Vice” and “Hacks” was taking place.
Max original programming chief Sarah Aubrey, series creator and executive producer J.T. Rogers along with director and executive producer Alan Poul were on hand to discuss the production which involved a lot of filming on the streets of Tokyo.
Aubrey says the decision to end the series was planned as a storytelling arc to allow the writers to build toward a clear end point.
Rogers says it was a mutual decision to support the storytelling – Max allowing not only a first season ending on multiple cliffhangers, but granting them two extra episodes for the second season to properly finish the story.
So that’s it? Not entirely. Rogers and Poul have indicated that whilst it has ended at Max, they still hope to produce more. In a joint statement they say: “We know there is more story to tell. Of course we’ll see what the future holds, but we are indeed grateful to have been able to share this story on Max until now.”
The Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe-led ten-episode second season concluded in early April.
