Tangle renewal unlikely

"We would all love to make Series Four of Tangle, but I just don’t know that it’s going to happen," says producer Imogen Banks.

Tangle fans have been waiting for some clarity on whether a fourth season will be approved, so TV Tonight asked co-producer Imogen Banks.

“We would all love to make Series Four of Tangle, but I just don’t know that it’s going to happen.

“We do often talk about getting out there and shooting on the weekends or on our iPhones!” she laughed.

The Pay TV drama starring Justine Clarke, Catherine McClements, Kat Stewart and Matt Day nearly didn’t get a fourth season with Showtime’s huge investment in Cloudstreet.

But fans were delighted with the third season, including its dark ending.

“I’m saying that the door has never officially been closed but it becomes less likely the further out of Season Three you get. But it’s never been officially closed.

But the outlook for a fourth series doesn’t look good,

“With everything that’s going on in the cable platform at the moment, it would be difficult for them to make the decision to do it, I think,” said Banks.

Showtime declined to comment.

  1. Here it is 2020 and I finaly discover “Tangle.” It is a brilliant show, epic especially during the necessity of sheltering in place here in the US, and, no Season 4? I have started to inform my family and friends that they can experience 3 seasons of fine programming throughAmazon Prime, and they too will get hooked, bc of the quality of the story line and believability of the acting. Wishing you would revisit create a comeback all these years later, or, in the alternative, create a spin off series! Great show, moving and still relevant, perhaps even more so today…a series ahead of its time! Please advise of any similar series as I wait for the powers that be to come to their senses and bring this fine piece of work back to a grateful audience!

    1. Yay! Thank you….I will start “Love My Way” next…my friends and fam who started “Tangle” adore it; no surprise there. So, hopefully we will have another great series to watch. These scary days of Covid 19, especially so prevalent here in the States, gives one pause to be grateful for all that we do have and have taken for granted without thinking twice. Great to escape the harsh reality of so much these days. Enjoying an entertaining well made program, even for just a little while, is a welcome respite.
      Thanks again!

  2. As i posted on the Tangle Facebook page, even if the series isn’t brought back for a full series, the producers should at least push for a 2 hour movie, to tie up all the loose ends…

    The story, as it is, is incomplete.

    Best Australian series in ages.

  3. Nooooooooooooooooo!!!! That really really sux!!
    Such a great show, i still have not seen season 3 as don’t have showtime but have pre ordered it and can’t wait to watch. Such a shame, why can’t commercial TV make anything as good as this?? They play it so safe to the point where it is mind numbingly boring and predicable.

  4. As Richard Freudenstein has been giving interviews to the AFR as well as News about his desire to rationalise the movie offerings perhaps it’s time he gave the local production sector some clarity as to what this means for Showtime’s Australian drama commissioning which has created the opportunity to produce some of the best Australian drama we’ve ever seen (such as Love My Way and Tangle). Showtime’s “no comment” is not acceptable.

  5. That’s really sad news, especially considering the cliffhanger ending of season 3. It’s so frustrating that many subpar Australian dramas get multiple 22 episode seasons, but in total we’ve only had 22 episodes of this brilliant show over 3 seasons.

    1. What a pity as the last episode left so many lose ends – so many questions unanswered. I have just finished watching the last episode as NZ only showed seasons one and two and I watched three on line. It has quite a following would be nice if you changed your minds and made a season four. Tangle was only second to A Place to Call Home in my opinion. I am very disappointed as others are too even in the UK so I see on facebook.
