After two seasons, the jig is up.
An FX spokesperson confirms that The Riches will not be returning for a third season.
The Eddie Izzard-Minnie Driver con-artist drama had been in limbo since the conclusion of the second season last April. Word of the show’s axing started to leak out last week when costar Todd Stashwick announced on his MySpace page that “The Riches has been canceled.”
Reaction? Anyone?
I wasn’t a fan. I was, however, gutted by the cancellation of Dirt.
Sorry to hear about The Riches, but am very pleased to hear that SONS OF ANARCHY has been renewed for a season two!
Oh, so disappointing. What a terrific show that was.
*grabs bugle and plays Taps sombrely*
I hope Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver find something else to do together, because I loved their chemistry. I consider the canceling of the show to be a casualty of the writers’ strike…it they’d had more time to find their footing in season 2 they might have made it.
Bummer, yet another great show canned!
LOOOOVED this show. Minnie and Eddie were wonderful together and the ensemble was tremendous! Although I wanted to see this show continue, I wondered how they would keep the ruse of “The Riches” going much longer. Cheers to the legacy it left.

I was actually just talking to someone the other day about how great this show was and how much it sucked that the second season was cut short by the Writers Strike and how much I was looking forward to it returning…bummer!
(I’m also going to be selfish and say that I’d rather The Riches be a casualty of the strike than Breaking Bad…when is that returning, anyway?)

That’s a big bummer. Why would they cancel a show with two of the best actors on television? I also kinda wanted to see how this one ended…
HOW DOES IT END WTF
I never got around to watching this show, it had an interesting premise.
and I am also excited about SOA renewal.
I found this program refreshingly different, and enjoyed it very much. I’m very sorry to see it go.
I’m really saddened to hear this. The series was brilliant and the ensemble cast was just perfect. I will dearly miss it. It’s too bad great shows like this are cancelled before their time, yet ones that are a waste of airspace are continually renewed.
I never watched this show either. Like Steven, the cancellation of Dirt upset me.
Add it to the What Would Have Happened?” list. Enjoyed the premise, but Sons of Anarchy has a bit of the same flavor.
