Byzantium director Neil Jordan has said that it is "tragic" that The Borgias ended without filming the final episode.
The historical drama was cancelled by Showtime in June this year and a planned two-hour finale was scrapped, being released only as an e-book script.
"It would have been great to finish it," Jordan told Digital Spy.
"It's kind of tragic to not be able to finish the whole story. I kind of got a sense that a new regime came into Showtime. They were kind of moving on, there's not much I can do about it in the end.
"There was a huge campaign and people wanted me to get involved in a Kickstarter campaign. The problem was that the finale I wanted to shoot was going to cost about $15 million and Kickstarter financing doesn't reach that far does it, as far as I know."
