ICARO Media Group
Amazon Prime Video has officially announced the cancellation of the popular series "Outer Range," after it aired for two successful seasons. The first season of the show premiered in 2022, followed by the release of the second season in May.
"Outer Range" follows the story of Royal Abbott, portrayed by Josh Brolin, as he fights to protect his land and family from an inexplicable phenomenon at the edge of Wyoming's wilderness – a dark void. Throughout Season Two, the mystery surrounding the enigmatic void deepens, with Royal and his wife Cecelia (played by an unmentioned actor/actress) struggling to keep their family together after their granddaughter's sudden disappearance. As the Abbotts face threats from various directions, the stakes have never been higher.
While Amazon does not release specific viewership data, the Nielsen Top 10 original streaming rankings revealed that "Outer Range" managed to secure a place in the coveted list. In fact, the show reached its peak at the number three spot in the week following its premiere, indicating its strong performance among viewers.
Critics also praised the series, with both seasons maintaining an impressive 85% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The show's intriguing storyline, coupled with stellar performances by the cast, garnered positive reviews across the board.
Although the reasons behind the cancellation of "Outer Range" remain undisclosed, fans of the show will undoubtedly be disappointed to bid farewell to the captivating tale of the Abbott family and their encounters with the mysterious void.
As of now, it is uncertain whether there will be any future revival or continuation of "Outer Range" on a different platform or further seasons. However, the show will live on as a testament to its gripping storytelling and the talents of its cast and crew.
