The highly acclaimed crime drama series, "Tokyo Vice," has come to an end after two seasons, according to an announcement made at the PGA's Produced By conference in Los Angeles. Max original programming chief Sarah Aubrey, along with the show's creator and executive producer J.T. Rogers and director and executive producer Alan Poul, discussed the development and success of the show during a panel discussion.

Aubrey explained that the decision to end "Tokyo Vice" after Season 2, which premiered in February, was a planned storytelling arc that allowed the writers to build towards a clear end point. Rogers echoed this sentiment, describing it as a mutual decision made to support the overall storytelling of the series.

In a joint statement provided ahead of the announcement, Rogers and Poul expressed their gratitude to Max for allowing them to bring their story to life. They also mentioned that although the active run of the show on Max has concluded, they still hope to produce more "Tokyo Vice" in the future. The creators acknowledge that there is more story to tell and expressed their appreciation to the network for their support throughout the series.

Rogers, Alan Poul, Ansel Elgort, Ken Watanabe, Fifth Season, and Wowow, referring to "Tokyo Vice" as a unique modern noir thriller.

The show, featuring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe, garnered critical acclaim, with Variety's TV critic Alison Herman calling it a hidden gem that deserved a wider audience. The ten-episode second season concluded in early April, leaving fans eager for more.
