Tokyo Vice will not be returning for another season.
During a panel at the Produced By conference on Saturday (June 8), producers confirmed that the MAX crime drama series starring Ansel Elgort has been canceled after two seasons.
The series was originally pitched as a two-season show and Ansel, 30, only signed on for two seasons. The season two finale aired on April 4 with the episode being aptly titled “Endgame.”
Following the show’s official cancellation, creator and executive producer J.T. Rogers along with director and executive producer Alan Poul, shared a statment.

Not only did they give us these two seasons, they said yes when we asked to end season one with a series of cliffhangers, and they said yes when we asked for two extra episodes so we could land the plane in the way [creator] J.T. [Rogers] had always envisioned,” the two shared, via The Hollywood Reporter.
They continued, “We’re grateful not only to Max but to our partners Fifth Season, who sold the show around the world and made it a global success story. They were in the trenches with us always, guaranteeing that we could make the show we wanted to make. The response from both the press and from fans, in particular to season two, has been overwhelming. It’s been thrilling to find out how deeply viewers have engaged with our characters and to hear how they are clamoring for more. We know there is more story to tell. Of course, we’ll see what the future holds, but we are indeed grateful to have been able to share this story on Max until now.”
