Amazon’s 2024 Cancelations and Renewals

As the year comes to a close, Amazon’s Prime Video and Freevee have made some big decisions on their slate of programming. Fans of certain shows have reason to celebrate, while others are left disappointed by cancellations. Here’s a full breakdown of which shows are returning, which are ending, and the ones that won’t be coming back in 2025.

Canceled Series

Amazon canceled six series across Prime Video and Freevee this year, leaving some audiences surprised and others bracing for the end.

Among the notable cancellations:

The Peripheral (Prime Video) – The sci-fi series starring Chloë Grace Moretz was initially renewed for a second season but was ultimately scrapped due to the Hollywood strikes disrupting production schedules.

A League of Their Own (Prime Video) – The beloved adaptation of the 1992 film had a planned four-episode second season to wrap up the story, but that was canceled due to the industry’s disruptions.

High School (Freevee) – Based on the memoir by musical duo Tegan and Sara, this coming-of-age series won praise but couldn’t secure a second season.

Primo (Freevee) – The comedy series created by Shea Serrano garnered positive reviews but won’t return for another installment.

Three Pines (Prime Video) – Despite a strong performance from lead Alfred Molina, the mystery drama was axed after just one season.

The Horror of Dolores Roach (Prime Video) – This horror-comedy adaptation of the popular podcast met a similar fate, getting cut after its first season.

Renewed Series

Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. Amazon has renewed 17 shows, signaling confidence in their performance and fan engagement.

Some of the biggest renewals include:

The Boys (Prime Video) – The ultra-violent superhero satire continues to be a massive hit and will return for Season 5, its final season.

Reacher (Prime Video) – The action-packed adaptation of Lee Child’s novels is coming back for a third season.

The Summer I Turned Pretty (Prime Video) – This teen drama continues to resonate with audiences and is renewed for Season 3.

Other notable renewals include Invincible, Gen V, Wheel of Time, The Rings of Power, Outer Range, and Making the Cut.

Series Ending in 2024

While some shows are getting another chance to wrap up their stories, a few are ending on their own terms.

Among them:

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – The Emmy-winning comedy series concluded with its fifth season, giving fans a satisfying send-off for Midge Maisel’s journey.

Upload – The sci-fi comedy from Greg Daniels will wrap up with its fourth season, giving closure to its futuristic digital-afterlife storyline.

Jack Ryan – The Tom Clancy-inspired thriller starring John Krasinski concluded with Season 4, ending the action-packed ride.

Fan Reactions

As expected, the cancellations have sparked strong reactions on social media. Fans of The Peripheral and A League of Their Own voiced disappointment and frustration over the unexpected decisions. Meanwhile, renewals like The Boys and The Summer I Turned Pretty have generated excitement and relief among loyal viewers.

What’s Next?

With Amazon continuing to refine its content strategy, 2025 will likely bring more surprises. For now, fans can look forward to returning favorites and brace for the ever-evolving world of streaming entertainment.
