That’s all, folks. After two perfect seasons, Party Down has been given the axe by Starz. Not really a surprise, but shitty news nonetheless.

“After careful consideration, we’ve decided not to continue on with subsequent seasons of Party Down and Gravity,” says Stephan Shelanski, executive vice president of programming for Starz Entertainment. “We’re grateful to everyone involved in the shows, and are proud to have had them on the channel. Starz remains committed to aggressively expanding our original programming lineup.” via Mo Ryan of the Chicago Tribune

Shortly after the official word was given by the evil bastards who run Starz, show creator Rob Thomas spoke with TV critic Alan Sepinwall:

“No one on our side is particularly shocked by the news,” Thomas said. “Frankly, the waiting has been excruciating, and there’s a certain amount of relief in knowing and being able to move on.”

Good thing the season finale works well as a series finale too. I’m going to slowly get drunk tonight and blast the latest Jackal Onassis.
