In a surprising move, Prime Video announced the cancellation of American Rust , just months after the show was canceled on Showtime. The show, starring Jeff Daniels and Maura Tierney, had a loyal following but ultimately failed to land a spot in Prime Video’s lineup. The show’s complex narrative and powerful performances will be missed by loyal viewers.
Meanwhile, Hulu has decided to end comedy series Life & Beth after two seasons. Created by and starring Amy Schumer, the series explores the personal and professional life of Beth, a woman reevaluating her past and planning for her future. Despite rave reviews and a strong second season, Hulu chose not to renew the show. Fans of Schumer’s honest and humorous take on life will no doubt feel the loss of this unique show.
On a more optimistic note, AMC’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has been renewed for a third season, even before its second season premieres. Centered around Norman Reedus’ character from the original Walking Dead series, the spin-off continues to expand the series’ universe with new adventures set in post-apocalyptic Europe. The early renewal reflects AMC’s confidence in the show’s continued appeal and the enthusiasm of its loyal fan base.
