The Borgias has been cancelled by Showtime.



The show will end after three seasons, with its June 16 episode serving as the series finale.

It was previously reported that Showtime executives were waiting to see how the current season of The Borgias performed in the ratings before making a decision on the show's future.

However, the network is now focused on prepping another religion-themed drama with The Vatican, starring Friday Night Lights' Kyle Chandler.

The pilot will reunite the actor with Showtime's Entertainment president David Nevins.

Weeds and The Big C have both drawn to a close on the network in recent years, while Dexter will also be ending its run after its upcoming eighth season.
