As of tomorrow, the recently canceled Party Down will no longer be available to stream on Netflix, per Starz’s directive. Ouch. If you start now, you can probably get through about two-thirds of the twenty episodes by midnight. [Clicker]
UPDATE: A Starz rep e-mails Vulture that the decision to bump Party Down isn’t a slam against the show, calling it “a normal scheduling [change] like we do for all of our movies and originals. It’s done on a title-by-title basis. Party Down has been up for several months and it’s run its course — (but) it will definitely be back on our channels/on-demand/online services in the near future…. It’s taking a breather.†He also emphasized that execs at Starz “love this show. The decision to not bring it back for a third season is simply because of the whole alchemy of scheduling, production pipeline, budget priorities, cast options, ratings data and other elements that go into a decision.â€
