Why Was It Cancelled? This show went on a long hiatus after its first season due to the COVID-related production shutdowns, and even after filming of the second season had been completed it spent an extended amount of time in post-production. The contracts for the cast and crew expired during that time and apparently Amazon decided not to keep the show going into a third season. The viewership for the first year was good, but apparently not enough to justify the cost as this is an expensive series to produce. It appears unlikely at this point that the show will have a chance to continue on a different venue.
