Despite garnering impressive reviews from critics and audiences alike in its debut outing, a popular Prime Video show will not be getting a Season 2 on the streaming platform. It was recently confirmed that Motorheads will not be moving ahead with a follow-up edition, effectively ending its run on Prime Video. However, the coming-of-age drama might still be able to witness a second season sometime in the near future, albeit on a different service.
Motorheads gets canceled before Season 2
According to a recent report published by Deadline, Prime Video has officially canceled Motorheads, three months after the May 20 premiere of its 10-episode first season.
Nevertheless, the Motorheads producers have received permission from Amazon to seek new pastures for the show, keeping hopes for a potential Season 2 alive.
“We set out to make a show with no agenda and a lot of heart, to give families something they can watch together. While Johnny and I are disappointed Motorheads won’t be continuing at Prime Video, we couldn’t be more proud of what the team created,” Motorheads executive producer Jason Seagraves noted.
He then expressed hope in landing a new streaming home for Motorheads Season 2, stating, “Despite going into release with impossibly low audience awareness, our passionate and vocal fan base led the charge and made the series impossible to ignore. Their enthusiasm has energized us, and we’re optimistic we’ll find a home that believes in and supports the show.”
Created by John A. Norris, Motorheads revolves around the misadventures of a group of high school outcasts who formulate bonds with one another over their shared love for street racing. While regrouping over the subject of automobiles, the outsiders also help each other in navigating the hurdles of life.
Featuring Michael Cimino, Melissa Collazo, Ryan Phillippe, and Nathalie Kelley in leading roles, Motorheads premiered on Prime Video on May 20, recording a 78% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, alongside an overly positive audience score of 95%.
