"E! will not be moving forward with another season of The Royals, which launched in 2015 as the network’s first original scripted series,” E! said in a statement. According to Deadline, Lionsgate TV has been in talks with sister cable network Pop for a possible fifth season pickup. The Royals creator Mark Schwahn was fired last December after accusations of sexual harassment from the cast and crew of One Tree Hill, which he also created.
