Looks like Dexter won't be the only Showtime series coming to an end this summer.
Showtime has made the decision to end The Borgias after three seasons.
The series, which stars Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander VI, was originally planned to run four seasons to parallel the duration of its Showtime predecessor The Tudors. However, the show just hasn't been the critical or commercial success the network had hoped it would be. This cancellation comes as Showtime moves forward with another religious-themed drama, The Vatican, which will star Emmy-winning Friday Night Lights alum Kyle Chandler.
The Borgias, from Oscar-winning screenwriter Neil Jordan, will end its run with its June 16 episode, which will now serve as the series finale.
