'The Rising' Cancelled at Sky Max Shortly Before Series 2 Production Began
'The Rising' Series 2 has been cancelled just months before production was due to start. The second series, which was set to be titled 'Risen', was due to have a similar premise to the first but with different characters, settings and themes, turning the show into something of an anthology series. Apparently there were a 'number of reasons' the production did not go ahead.
