A Fond Farewell to PBS's ‘Vicious’

Comedy series Vicious aired its finale episode in summer, 2016.

The news the show would not be returning for a third season was announced by ITV late the pevious year, though the cancellation blow was somewhat softened by the fact that it was given a final, extended one-off episode to wrap everything up. The comedy officially bowed out with a one-night, series finale special June, 2016, on PBS stations nationwide.

The sitcom starred acting legends Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi as a bickering gay couple who’ve been together for over 50 years, and follows their various domestic and personal adventures, which usually involves appearances from their dramatic best friend Violet (Frances de la Tour) and aggressively normal upstairs neighbor Ash (Iwan Rheon).
