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.

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.
