The Riches will not be returning for a third season, an FX spokesperson has confirmed.
The Eddie Izzard-Minnie Driver con-artist drama had been in limbo since the conclusion of the second season last April.
Word of the show’s axing started to leak out last week when co-star Todd Stashwick announced on his MySpace page that “The Riches has been cancelled.”
That would do it.
In Australia the second series aired on the Showcase channel in August.

I’m puzzled as to exactly why it was cancelled. I got hooked on the show and now it’s no more. The first show my partner and I really got into watching and we don;t even get a conclusion?! Damn shame.
I am very disappointed. We really got hooked on season 1. At least we still have 7 episodes of season 2 to relish.
RichoTB well thats not really what the show is about.
I only just found out today it was over watching the final ep, another unique show gone.
I watched the pilot and thought it was average. This cancellation doesn’t surprise me, the concept of the weekly expeditions of some weird hicky gipsies robbing people and stealing other ppl’s identities was doomed to begin with. Now this means Eddie Izzard can go back to films
Kind of sucks that it didn’t even get a rushed “omg writer’s strike” finale like a bunch of other shows did, simply ended like any normal episode halfway through the season.
One of my favourite Showtime dramas and a finale with many loose endings which will keep us wondering what happened next.
This show was great. I can’t believe they have cancelled it. I have been waiting since April to see what happens next.
Good show, i think this is a case of being a victim of the writers strike where it didn’t get a proper chance at a full second season.
