The Royals has been canceled by E! after four seasons on the network, though fans shouldn’t give up hope for the show.

Lionsgate TV, the studio that produces the series, has been in talks with Pop for a possible fifth season pickup, according to Deadline.

“E! will not be moving forward with another season of The Royals, which launched in 2015 as the network’s first original scripted series. Over four seasons, The Royals took viewers behind the palace gates on a scandalous journey filled with twists and turns. We are grateful to the cast and our producing partners at Lionsgate and Universal Cable Productions,” a spokesperson for E! said in a statement.

The show’s series creator, showrunner, and executive producer Mark Schwahn was fired earlier this year after an investigation into sexual harassment allegations. The fourth season had already finished filming at the time.

Season four of The Royals is coming back – and it’s bringing tons of drama!

In the first look, Queen Helena (Elizabeth Hurley) and King Robert (Max Brown) get into a heated argument at the dinner table before Helena tosses her glass of wine across the table.

Prince Liam (William Moseley) then gives a sneak peek at the upcoming season which includes Liam and Cyrus (Jake Marshall) scheming together, Eleanor (Alexandra Park) and Jasper (Tom Austen) getting cozy, and Helena pushing a crown out of Robert’s hands.

The Royals returns to E! on Sunday, March 11.

Mark Schwahn has been fired from The Royals amid sexual harassment allegations.

The 51-year-old showrunner, who was accused of harassment by not only The Royals cast, but also his previous show One Tree Hill, was previously suspended by the show in mid-November for an investigation to be held.

“We have concluded our investigation and Mark will not be returning to The Royals. The fourth season of the show has already completed production and will air as scheduled on E! in the spring,” Lionsgate TV said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

The fourth season will air as planned in 2018.

Elizabeth Hurley is speaking out in a lengthy statement after the creator and showrunner of her E! series The Royals, Mark Schwahn, was accused of sexual harassment by 25 female cast and crew members of the show.

The actress says that she was unaware of the way Schwahn was treating her female co-stars and says that the news is a “shocking surprise.”

Elizabeth released the statement on her Twitter account on Thursday afternoon (November 16). Read below:

“I was immensely saddened to read Alexandra Park‘s statement about Mark Schwahn. I have loved working alongside Alexandra and Mark for four years while shooting The Royals, and had absolutely no idea that she was feeling frightened and sexually intimidated by Mark during this time. I have never thought of myself as unobservant, in fact quite the opposite, but I missed this and feel like I have let down a younger cast member. I could have helped her. I would have helped her. But I didn’t know,” the statement began.

Following the news of showrunner Mark Schwahn‘s suspension from the show, the female cast and crew of The Royals are speaking out in a joint statement.

The statement, signed by 25 actresses, accuses Mark of “repeated unwanted sexual harassment.”

“Despite hearing rumours about his behaviour on One Tree Hill, those of us involved from the early stages went into the filming of the pilot hoping they were just that – rumours. By the time we wrapped this had irrevocably proven not to be the case,” the statement begins.

The statement follows the female cast and crew of One Tree Hill issuing a similar statement.
