It's all over for Rome
by Anna Johns, posted Jul 13th 2006 9:06AM
HBO announced that the second season of Rome will be the last. Apparently, Rome was originally planned as a mini-series but HBO was so blown away by the quality of the first episode that it picked up an entire season. HBO says logistics of shooting overseas and a very high price tag--first season topped out at $100 million--were reason enough to shut down the show.Season two is currently filming at the Cinecitta Studios in Rome and it premieres January 7 on HBO.
