Showtime cancels 'Brotherhood'

Showtime has axed Brotherhood, it has been announced.

According to E! Online, the Irish-American Mafia family drama will not be renewed for a fourth season.

The show has recently been plagued with rumours surrounding its cancellation. Fionnula Flanagan, aka Rose Caffee, said earlier this year: "We're on hiatus, and we're waiting to hear what Showtime's pleasure is about that.

"It will all have to be balanced with what else Showtime has on its roster for this next year. Usually the shooting season was the summer, so I should imagine that we'll know soon."
