Created by J T Rogers, the show stars Ansel Elgort, Ken Watanabe, and Rachel Keller in the leading parts. Turns out the makers have now confirmed that they are not moving ahead with season 3 of the show and it is canceled for now. Read on to know more about the same.
Max announced the cancellation of Tokyo Vice season 3 with an official statement which according to Screen Rant read, “From Tokyo Vice’s richly written material to the gorgeously composed shots to the lived-in performances, the care and creativity of this enormously talented cast and crew shines in every frame of the show. We thank J.T., Alan, Ansel, Ken, Fifth Season, and Wowow for their partnership on this wholly unique modern noir thriller.”
J T Rogers Full Statement:
“Over the last five years, Max has made sure we got to tell our story. They have supported us through thick and thin. Not only did they give us these two seasons, but they said yes when we asked to end season one with a series of cliffhangers, and they said yes when we asked for two extra episodes so we could land the plane on the way J.T. had always envisioned.
We’re grateful not only to Max but to our partners Fifth Season, who sold the show around the world and made it a global success story. They were in the trenches with us always, guaranteeing that we could make the show we wanted to make. The response from both the press and from fans, in particular to Season 2, has been overwhelming. It’s been thrilling to find out how deeply viewers have engaged with our characters and to hear how they are clamoring for more. 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.”
However, the statement still gives hope that the makers might revisit Tokyo Vice season 3 someday but until then we are left with two seasons to re-watch we many times we miss the show.
