Sad news, Party Down -ers — Starz is not picking up the beloved but low-rated series for a third season, meaning you’ll just have to accept last Friday’s finale as the series closer. The network is also expected to announce that it is not picking up Gravity , the dark comedy starring Krysten Ritter, for a second season. At least we know that Party Down refugees are welcome elsewhere — too bad Lizzy Caplan got screwed for her loyalty . [ Deadline ]

Starz is going sci-fi. The premium cable home of Party Down has acquired the U.S. television rights to the next installment of the Doctor Who spin-off (and anagram) Torchwood . Developed and produced by BBC Worldwide, the latest 10 episodes of the British sci-fi drama will premiere stateside in the summer of 2011 while BBC One airs the series overseas. Per usual, John Barrowman and Eve Myles will star, alongside new Americans yet to be cast. [ THR ]

Like the characters of Party Down — actors, comedians and writers catering their way toward impossible dreams — Rob Thomas’ premium cable comedy, now in its sophomore season, can never quite catch a break. Although the show is beloved by its fans, the Starz sleeper has been leaking cast members ever since Jane Lynch departed the premium cabler for Glee . Since then, Adam Scott signed onto Parks and Recreation , Lizzy Caplan filmed a pilot for CBS , and Ryan Hansen shot a pilot for NBC, which was officially picked up this week. And even though Party Down ‘s ratings more than doubled this season, the show is still watched by less than 300,000 people. In hopes that tonight’s episode, “Steve Guttenberg’s Birthday,” could be the installment that reverses Party Down ‘s fortune, Martin Starr phoned Movieline to discuss just how the Cocoon actor was cast, Party Down ‘s tragic undertone and how little Starr actually relates to his character.

Starz has announced the start of production on the six-part prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand , which will air in January 2011. The miniseries will have a brief appearance from Andy Whitfield, who plays Spartacus and is still recovering from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, but it will focus mainly on the characters played by Lucy Lawless and John Hannah. This is refreshing for two reasons: 1) I love Lucy Lawless . 2) That is all.
