Amazon has cancelled its original series The Peripheral despite renewing the show for a second season back in February.

The sci-fi series told the tale of Flynne Fisher (played by Chloë Grace Moretz), as she navigated time travel, robots, avatars, secret missions and the apocalypse.

Citing sources, Variety and Deadline reported Friday (18 August) that the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes had played a factor in the decision to cancel the show. Due to the studio’s backlog, the second series of The Peripheral would have been delayed until 2025, the publications reported.

Guess I won't bother after all.

Still worth watching season 1, I think. It was quite good.

I agree. It was fun and still ended well.

Did it end on a hook, or did they close the season?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The season was closed well enough. Like any show they left room for a second season, but also like any show they know there's usually no guarantee of a second season.
And it's TOTALLY worth watching it. It's a brilliant show.

Plus I'm betting it gets picked up by Apple TV after the strike is over.

I’ll have to find my way over to the old schooner, then. Arr!

They closed the season but left room for the story to continue. Doesn’t end on any sort of cliffhanger if that’s what you mean. TBH, not worth it.

Yes, that’s what I was looking for. I don’t spend much time anymore watching serial shows because it seems like more often than not they don’t bring closure to the season; they use it as a continuous hook from season to season and I’m kinda over that. Thank you
