Prime Video Cancels Motorheads: What Happened?

Bad news for fans of Amazon Prime Video’s show “Motorheads” as the streamer has decided not to move forward with a second season. The YA series premiered in May and has been a top 10 most-watched show on Prime Video ever since. Despite its popularity, the decision was made to cancel the show, joining other Amazon series like “Paper Girls” that were also canceled after one season.

“Motorheads” is set in a once-thriving rust-belt town, with a focus on a group of outsiders who bond over their shared love of street racing while navigating high school life. The 10-episode first season will be the only one produced for Prime Video.

The show’s creator, John A. Norris, along with a talented cast that includes Ryan Phillippe, Nathalie Kelley, and Michael Cimino, brought the series to life. However, “Motorheads” failed to make Nielsen’s weekly top 10 streaming rankings, leading to its cancellation.

Despite the cancellation, there is hope for the show’s future. The producers are exploring options to find a new streaming service or network that may be interested in producing a second season. With the support of a passionate fan base and positive reviews, there is optimism that “Motorheads” may find a new home.

While the future of “Motorheads” remains uncertain, there are possibilities for the show to continue elsewhere. Streaming services like Netflix have a history of picking up canceled shows, and networks looking for YA programming could be potential new homes for the series. As fans wait to see what happens next, the first season of “Motorheads” is still available for streaming on Prime Video.
