Despite setting a new showrunner after a formal Season 2 renewal, HBO has officially abandoned plans for Vinyl, effectively cancelling the prestigious flop.
Vinyl now becomes the second high-profile HBO reversal in recent years, just as geopolitical comedy The Brink earned a second season renewal, before HBO walked back its decision.
Certainly an embarrassing defeat for HBO, but was Vinyl beyond salvation in Season 2?
Even diehard fans of HBO’s Scorsese-Jagger driven Vinyl knew that Season 2 would bring about some significant changes, but it looks like the record skipped after all.
