The future isn’t good for the Altered Carbon TV series. The Netflix sci-fi drama has been cancelled by the streaming service so there won’t be a third season. The episodes of season two were released on February 27th. An anime movie was released on March 19th.
Season two of Altered Carbon stars Anthony Mackie, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Lela Loren, Simone Missick, Chris Conner, Dina Shihabi, and Torben Liebrecht. Will Yun Lee and James Saito guest star. This adaptation of the Richard K. Morgan cyberpunk novel comes from creator Laeta Kalogridis. The story unfolds in the 24th Century when death is far from inevitable.
The second season of the series finds Takeshi Kovacs (Mackie), the lone surviving soldier of a group of elite interstellar warriors, continuing his centuries-old quest to find his lost love Quellcrist Falconer (Goldsberry). After decades of planet-hopping and searching the galaxy, Kovacs finds himself recruited back to his home planet of Harlan’s World with the promise of finding Quell. Haunted by his past and responsible for investigating a series of brutal murders, Kovacs is stunned to discover his new mission to solve the crime, and his pursuit to find Quell are one and the same.
According to Deadline, the decision not to make a third season of Altered Carbon was made back in April and was not related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The cancellation comes as the streaming service balances production costs with viewership, not unlike a traditional outlet.
What do you think? Did you enjoy the Altered Carbon TV series? Would you have watched season three of the Netflix series?
Over the past 2 years, I have found myself spending less and less time on Netlflix. Amazon Prime, Hulu, and now HBO Max have better programing. As someone said before, 1/2 of the shows are foreign language and they just slap an “N” in the corner of the show preview so it looks like Netflix made original content. In reality its a Bollywood movie from 1995. I think Netflix is gearing more toward woke/teenager type shows bc they are cheaper to make. They have completely abandoned so many of my fav “adult” shows and now Bridgergton (sic?), (Downtown Abbey for… Read more »
total, yet predictable, BS on N’s part- this is a successful franchise- N is just lazy
Bye-bye Netflix. I am tired of all your ********, and I don’t need you!
I really enjoyed the first two seasons and was looking forward to the 3rd. Netflix is going downhill will cancel my subscription as of now.
THIS IS COMPLETE ********< WHY THEY HAVE TO CANCEL MY FAV SHOW EVER
I really enjoyed the first two seasons and was looking forward to the 3rd. Netflix is going downhill pretty fast.
Personally, I’m glad to see this one go. I’m a huge fan of the books, and I couldn’t live with the changes made to the original story. Good riddance.
What a shame, such a great show! First Sense8 & now Altered Carbon, there are fewer and fewer reasons to keep Netflix
loved this show so much even the choices of new casting was not my taste (Kinamann was so amazing on 1st season)
Netflix is going lower and lower….only teen drama so ****
i liked a lot altered carbon , im seriusly thinking of cancelling netflix not by this show but for a lot of junk one season series, i dont see now a series if not 2 or 3 seasons because it leaves you bad,
I loved this show! I’m seriously considering cancelling Netflix
This media outlet has gone from the DVD-by-mail service I joined in 1999 to woke programming, and half their shows are in a foreign language with crappy writing. They had some very special shows going, but have run them into the ground, or dropped them for no good reason. A decade ago, when all the major studios started pulling their content should have been the sign to cancel my service, and I would have a couple of years ago, if T-Mobile didn’t give me free Netflix.
Netflix went from a great place to have a show. To the network that wants so much but really cant and just cancelleds most shows now a days
I liked it.
OMG noooo?!! There is nothing left for me in Netflix then.
Give me Ozark the last season and I want to cancel my subscription.
