UPDATED September 11, 2017: Just a few days after the debut chapter of the TNT’s newest musical drama series finished airing on September 4th, the network cancelled Will – there will be no Season 2 for the show. The William Shakespeare drama series failed to attract a sizeable audience, with the season 1 finale delivering just 0.3 million viewers.

What immediately makes this brand new series stand out is the bold and modern style in which the story is being told, which also includes a fantastic soundtrack to go with the great acting. Shakespeare’s recklessness, brilliance and being a sucker for all the lustful temptations out there fuels the beautiful storyline of this colorful television drama. The overall ratings don’t really give much away in terms of popularity, as they hover too much near the middle-of-the-road territory with 6.7 out of 10 stars on IMDb and 61% approval on Rotten Tomatoes. The very first episode premiered to an audience of 0.63 Million viewers and a demo rating of 0.16 in the 18-49 demographic. Since then the viewing figures have dropped to somewhere around 0.3 Million viewers and a demo rating of just 0.08, which is very low for any network.
General information and cast
Currently in its very first installment, the American period drama series Will debuted on the TNT channel on July 10th, 2017 with 10 brand new episodes. Created by Craig Pearce, the show hails from the production companies Monumental Television, Starling Television, SirWeighty Tomes Enterprises and Studio T.

Will depicts the fictional life of the famous William Shakespeare during the 1500s. When the young artist arrives in the midst of London’s punk rock theatre scene, he is immediately hooked by its violent and yet seductive world. He dreams about a life as a play writer, but rioting audiences and religious fanatics make it hard for him to follow his ambitions. Beautiful Alice Burbage, a young actress shunned by society for wanting to pursue her career on stage, has a budding romance with Will, and when her brother Richard shows up, him and Will team up to become the most powerful actor-writer relationship of all time.
