American Rust has been cancelled for a second time so there will not be a third season. The drama debuted in September 2021 on Showtime and was cancelled after one season. The show was revived for a second season by Amazon Freevee, but the show ended up moving to Prime Video, and season two was released on March 28th.
Starring Jeff Daniels, Maura Tierney, Bill Camp, David Alvarez, Alex Neustaedter, Julia Mayorga, Mark Pellegrino, and Rob Yang, the series follows what happens when a man (Daniels) has his morals tested when the son of the woman he loves is accused of murder. The story is inspired by a novel by Phillipp Meyers.
Trib Live, which is based in the city of Pittsburgh where the series was filmed, revealed the following about the series’ cancellation:
The cancellation of “American Rust” is a shame, not just because of the jobs it provided local film crews, but because the series had so much promise. Season two moved at a faster pace with several surprising plot turns, including a cliffhanger ending that left the future for several series regulars uncertain.
What do you think? Did you watch American Rust on Prime Video? Were you hoping for a third season of this drama?
Would love to see a Season 3.
would love a season 3. it was very engaging and kept you guessing. I like that in a show, plus the acting was top notch. Bring it back.

So disappointed!!!
Will be really disappointed if there is no Season 3. The second season was so engaging with the plot twists, and was really anticipating the next season.
What a shame! Season two was actually so much better than season one that I’d thought they’d renew for sure. Sorry to see otherwise.
I love American Rust! Excellent story line and the actors are all first-rate!
