TV showsgetting canceledare nothing new , but the last two or three yr have seen shows getabruptly kill off , even as they were already lock in for another season . In some cases , like with GLOW over on Netflix , it was because of the COVID pandemic . But more of late , other series ( like The Minx at HBO Max ) were gutted tocut costs , even as those shows were fundamentally in the can , product wise .
Sadly , that trend looks to continue again in 2023 , asDeadlinereports that AMC is extract the plug on its sci - fi animated seriesPantheon . The show , created by Craig Silverstein , was in the first place given a two - season greenlight by the internet , but that second season will no longer be broadcast on AMC+ ( the only legal way to watch the serial ) , and will just be straight up yanked from the platform at a ulterior date . Pantheon ’s cancellation get days after AMC announce the end of show such asDamascusand61st Street , both of which were in product ( the latter series was actively filming its second season ) ; but unlike 61st Street , it does n’t sound like AMC will stag Pantheon around to another web or streamer .
Pantheon was based on a series of curt stories from authorKen Liu’s2020 scant story solicitation The Hidden Girl and Other Stories . The series focused on stripling Maddie Kim ( Katie Chang ) , who begin to get texts from someone claiming to be her idle founder David ( Daniel Dae Kim ) . At the same time that David ’s tell Maddie that his brain was digitally upload to preserve his mind , she and information processing system genius Caspian ( Paul Dano ) are caught up in a global conspiracy surrounding the technical school company Logorythms . The series receive pretty solid reviews when it first come out back in September ( include from us ! ) , but hey , why have a show rise and find an audience when you’re able to just trim down it off at the knees and put its employee out of work to save some cash , yeah ?
