Amazon Prime Video viewers are ‘flat-out disgusted’ with the streaming platform for unexpectedly axing a fan-favourite drama before the storyline concluded.
Fans of Outer Range, which starred Josh Brolin and Imogen Poots, have complained it should be ‘illegal’ to cancel the sci-fi neo-Western series after just two seasons.
They are also devastated the show ended on various cliffhangers – including Perry (Tom Pelphrey) and Amy (Olive Abercrombie) being sent through a hole that transcends time to alter the chain of events in their former realities.
As Tom previously told The Hollywood Reporter, the time-travelling twist at the end of season 2 indicated the characters in Outer Range were living in a ‘multiverse’, which would have been explored in further episodes.
Viewers on Instagram are now fuming they will never know the outcome of the show, with @azgex76 raging: ‘I think I’m done with Amazon shows. They create series after series, leave you on a cliffhanger, and then cancel the whole thing. This show was awesome, I loved both seasons. It was different and unique. You all were an amazing cast and I’m very sad to see yet another show get canceled before its story concluded.’
Echoing their sentiment @tha_arab, stated: ‘This should be made illegal. So sick of streaming services canceling good shows after getting the audience invested, and this show wasn’t good, it was GREAT! What a unique story with amazing execution from everyone involved.’

@anthony.mangiarciana also added: ‘I’m flat out disgusted with @amazonprime over this series being cancelled. The whole cast was great, makes no sense at all to kill this series. People will be watching the series for DECADES.’
Lamenting over what could have been in future series, @_cursedteen wrote: ‘Seriously sad ???? loved this weird little gem of a show and was looking forward to getting lost in timelines and voids with you all one more time.’
Unable to hide their disappointment @iamnotcontagious, said: ‘I feel completely crushed. The show was amazing and i believe you all did the absolute best. This shouldn’t have happened it unfortunately it is what it is. I’m sorry you don’t get to see the resolution of this wonderful story. You guys put so much work into it. Thank you nonetheless it was amazing till the end.’

Hollywood star Josh, who played Royal Abbott in Outer Range, agreed with the fans, describing the cancellation as a ‘faux pas’ on Instagram.
He said: ‘As much of a faux pas as I feel that it is for Amazon Prime to cancel our beloved show Outer Range, it will never minimize or detract from how great this idea, this diamond cast, and the hardest working crew I’ve ever encountered have been.’
The 56-year-old added: ‘And thank you most of all to the uber-loyal fans. Along with No Country For Old Men and …read more
