Starz Cancels 'Camelot' Despite Decent Ratings
July 01, 2011 11:07:50Starz has pulled the plug on "Camelot" after only one season. The network decided not to exercise its option on the Arthurian drama series "due to significant production challenges". Detailing further, Deadline reports "scheduling conflicts with some of the actors" have been cited as part of the problem for the show.
Starring Joseph Fiennes, Jamie Campbell Bower and Eva Green among others, "Camelot" was not actually a flop for Starz. It set the network's largest ever opening for a new drama in early April and drew the second-highest viewership for the series with its season finale after being on a ratings upswing for its last few episodes.

First Look at Starz's 'Camelot': It's Not Musical
January 05, 2011 11:01:36Starz's new take on "Camelot" gives a first look through a behind-the-scene featurette. Like many actors of a new series, the stars such as Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green and Jamie Campbell Bower tell audience how this drama series is different from the rest.
Fiennes, at an attempt to make a joke, said, "I think people should watch this because ...it's not a musical".
