Prime Video Cancels 'Motorheads' After One Season as Producers Shop Series

The producers are shopping the show with Amazon’s permission following strong reviews that fell short of the platform’s viewership thresholds.

Overview

  • Prime Video will not renew the young-adult racing drama, which premiered May 20 with 10 episodes that remain available to stream.
  • Producers say they are in active talks to find a new home for the series with Amazon’s blessing.
  • Fans have launched petitions and social campaigns urging another streamer to pick up the show.
  • The series drew strong audience and critic scores on Rotten Tomatoes, and its first season ends on unresolved cliffhangers.
  • Viewing data lagged industry benchmarks, with no Nielsen Top 10 appearance and a Luminate peak of No. 19 with 3.29 million hours.
