Why can't I watch American Gigolo on Showtime?

Published in TV Series Cancellation 2 mins read

You might be unable to watch American Gigolo on Showtime because the series has been cancelled and will not be returning for a second season.

Series Cancellation Details

Showtime made the decision to cancel the American Gigolo series, which means there will be no new episodes or subsequent seasons produced. The program, which was a modern adaptation based on the 1980 feature film of the same name, aired its first and only season consisting of eight episodes. This inaugural season concluded in October.

As a result of the cancellation, new content for the American Gigolo series is no longer being developed or broadcast.

Availability of Existing Episodes

While the series has been cancelled and new episodes won't air, the first season (eight episodes) originally premiered on Showtime. Typically, cancelled series' completed seasons remain available for on-demand streaming on the platform where they originally aired for a certain period.

  • Check Showtime's Streaming Service: The complete first season of American Gigolo should still be accessible through Showtime's streaming platform or via Showtime On Demand through your TV provider.
  • Search by Title: Use the search function within the Showtime app or website to locate "American Gigolo."
  • Availability May Vary: While it's common for past seasons to remain available, specific licensing agreements can affect how long content stays on a platform.
