Prime Video Cancels The Office Australia After One Season

The move reflects a broader pullback in scripted commissioning across major streamers.

Overview

  • The eight-episode series premiered on October 18, 2024 and was co-produced by BBC Studios Australia & New Zealand, Bunya Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios.
  • Felicity Ward starred as Hannah Howard, making this the franchise’s first adaptation led by a woman, alongside cast members including Edith Poor, Steen Raskopoulos, Shari Sebbens, Josh Thomson and Zoe Terakes.
  • Prime Video reported the show delivered the biggest opening weekend for an Australian title on the service and charted strongly in multiple countries.
  • Critical response was modestly positive while audience reaction skewed negative, with reports citing a 71% critics score and 40% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
  • The decision arrives during a downturn in scripted orders, with Ampere Analysis tallying 242 commissions in H1 2025 versus 318 a year earlier and Prime Video cutting the deepest; all episodes remain available on Prime Video outside the U.S.
