Prime Video Cancels ‘Motorheads’ After One Season as Producers Seek New Home

The decision reflects strong engagement metrics that fell short on overall viewing volume.

Overview

  • With Amazon’s permission, the producers have begun discussions with potential platforms to continue the YA drama.
  • Executive producer Jason Seagraves expressed disappointment over the outcome at Prime Video and optimism about securing another partner.
  • Amazon MGM Studios TV chief Vernon Sanders previously cited strong completion rates, and the series holds a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
  • Despite engagement, the show never cracked Nielsen’s weekly Top 10 and peaked at No. 19 on Luminate’s weekly ranker with 3.29 million hours the week of May 23.
  • Deadline reports the series has lingered in Prime Video’s U.S. daily Top 10, and notes it is uncommon for a streamer’s in-house title to be shopped after cancellation.
