Prime Video has a number of fan-favorite reveals get renewed amid the 2025 TV schedule. For instance, Fallout was already renewed for Season 3 earlier than its second season launch, with the identical factor occurring for Maxton Corridor. Sadly, the YA sequence Motorheads was axed after its first season. Regardless of the dangerous information, although, an EP is discussing why followers ought to keep hopeful concerning the possibilities of the present returning.
Motorheads nearly seems like a mixture between the Quick and the Livid motion pictures and Cobra Kai, in the absolute best methods. The present focuses on a bunch of kids who find yourself bonding of their affection for vehicles. Whereas some Prime Video subscription holders did tune in, the present’s demise was confirmed only recently. Regardless that the ten-episode present received’t return to Prime for brand new episodes, govt producer Jason Seagraves instructed Deadline how proud he nonetheless is of his coming-of-age sequence:
We got down to make a present with no agenda and a number of coronary heart, to provide households one thing they’ll watch collectively. Whereas Johnny and I are dissatisfied Motorheads received’t be persevering with at Prime Video, we couldn’t be extra pleased with what the staff created.
It’s a disgrace that Prime Video isn’t giving Motorheads one other likelihood. I recognize that it has the weather of romance, friendship, and sheer drama akin to that of the streaming service’s hottest YA choices like The Summer time I Turned Fairly and the Culpa motion pictures. Plus, the road racing sequence has a excessive viewers score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes with a constructive critics’ rating of 78% as effectively.
An official motive for Motorheads‘ cancellation has not been shared by Prime Video. Per Deadline, although, in relation to viewership, the present acquired excessive completion charges, principally staying within the 40s on Luminate’s High 50, and it soared to No. 19 in the course of the week of Could twenty third. Even now, the sequence stays amongst Prime Video’s High 10 checklist of trending reveals, which isn’t any small feat.
It is fascinating to consider what went into the choice to cancel Jason Seagraves’ pleasant sequence. Nonetheless, simply because Prime Video stated “no” to shifting ahead with the present doesn’t imply any of the very best streaming companies on the market will. Seagraves went on to specific his optimism {that a} new platform shall be discovered for the present:
Regardless of going into launch with impossibly low viewers consciousness, our passionate and vocal fan base led the cost and made the sequence unattainable to disregard. Their enthusiasm has energized us and we’re optimistic we’ll discover a dwelling that believes in and helps the present.
I’m loving the optimism right here! After all, it stays to be seen if one other streamer will truly decide up Motorheads. A pickup like that is not straightforward to return by, nevertheless it’s not unattainable.
Prior to now, there have been cases through which reveals have switched digital platforms, like when Cobra Kai moved to Netflix after its unique run on YouTube Purple. Community reveals equivalent to Manifest and Lucifer even moved to streamers after their respective cancellations. So I might agree with Jason Seagraves that there is not less than some motive to really feel hopeful inside this case.
On condition that Motorheads ended with two main cliffhangers in its season finale, I am actually hoping the sequence will get picked up by one other streamer quickly. Within the meantime, although, you’ll find all ten of the present episodes on Prime Video. Additionally, maintain your eyes peeled for extra nice titles that lie forward on the streaming schedule.
