In some disappointing news for Kevin Williamson’s Tell Me a Story anthology series, CBS All Access has moved to announce that the show will come to an end after two seasons.

Via Deadline, Williamson’s skewed take on classic fairytales impressed many, but the February finish of Season Two will now serve as the series’ finale. Both seasons of the show will continue to be on the CBS All Access streaming service, while The CW has managed to nab the rights to begin airing these two seasons at a later date.

On this news, CBS’ Julie McNamara said, “The brilliant Kevin Williamson brought our favourite fairytales to life in an anthology format that twisted and subverted the stories we all know into modern thrillers. It has been a privilege to work with such an elite and talented group of creative minds like Kevin, Aaron Kaplan and the team at Kapital Entertainment, as well as the amazing cast of Tell Me a Story, who did a phenomenal job personifying and reinventing beloved characters from these six fairytales.”

Tell Me a Story has yet to air in the UK, and it now remains to be seen whether any UK broadcasters will pick up the show in the knowledge that it’s already been cancelled.
