Why did Rome only have 2 seasons?High production costs ended the series
"Rome" did very well following its debut, so it was given the green light for a second season. Unfortunately, the production costs of another season cut too deeply into HBO's overall budget. Therefore, it made the decision to end "Rome" after Season 2 before it had even aired.

Why did the series Rome end?Except Rome was canceled, with HBO making the tough decision to ax the show before its second season even aired in order to save money on maintaining production resources in Italy. It's rare that networks ever admit that ending a show was a mistake, but HBO executives later did, at least privately.
