By the end of the first season in April, HBO announced that Scott Z. Burns will replace Terence Winter as showrunner.

"Vinyl" was created nearly two decades ago as a feature film before it was turned into a series in 2015.

The decision to end the series comes after HBO's big transition in its programming office. In May, Michael Lombardo stepped down as programming president after nearly 10 years and was replaced by HBO’s former head of comedy, Casey Bloys. ALSO READ:undefined
