Amazon has renewed their political comedy Alpha House for a second season but the Betas series won’t be coming back. The Silicon Valley-based TV show has been cancelled.
Of the decision, Amazon Studios director Roy Price said, “Unfortunately you have to make tough decisions… I’d love to figure out something else for Betas.”
Betas follows four friends who are trying to strike it rich by finding investors for their new dating app. The cast includes Joe Dinicol, Karan Soni, Jon Daly, Charlie Saxton, Maya Erskine, Madeline Zima, Tyson Ritter, Breeda Wool, Mark L. Young, and Ed Begley, Jr.
A pilot and 10 episodes of the series were produced. The pilot was released on April 19, 2013 and the final episode was made available on January 17, 2014.
What do you think? Did you like the Betas TV show? Would you have watched season two?
Just finished watching season 1 and just found no Ssn 2…what the f@&k
gutted was such a great show
Betas was a great show! Watched the whole season over a couple days. Can’t believe they didn’t get a second season.
Betas was brilliant – in the same vein as many other successful 20/30 something comedies. Great characters and music; credible plot. Amazon really missed a trick if someone thinks Alpha House is better
What a great show. Can’t believe it’s cancelled. wow.
I watched the whole season in one night (last night) and was excited to find the next season – only to find there isn’t one and won’t be one.
Amazon Studios really made a mistake on this one. Actually, they made many mistakes on this one – largely in the marketing department where they didn’t seem to know what the heck they were marketing (marketed poorly and to the wrong genre audience).
Really? Betas was canceled? Love grimm, falling skies and the like and amazon decides to kill something similar to big bang? (which has gone how many seasons?) Whomever made that decision needs to be fired. I ate up series one in 3 days, and I work 12 hour shifts. I’ve been a tester for apps and video games, and I’m making it a point to state my personal opinion that you pretty much lost hundreds of thousands of dollars by cancelling this show. I don’t know how much the production/actor costs were, but you definitely had something solid and needed… Read more »
Alpha House is lame. No Betas Season 2 is more lame. Whoever made the decision to cancel Betas just blew a lot of viewers to another network and should be fired. We would have watched Betas for several more seasons!! Betas is a classic and deserves better!!!
This show should have been part of a pillar – Geeky, sharp, topical tech life.. Disappointing decision. Missed opportunity. Really enjoyed the show.
Beta”s was a solid show. Really surprised I’m sure the big Whigs over at HBO didn’t like the Silicon Valley comparison. Not really sure why they would pull the plug when tech shows are really starting to pick up in viewership. I feel it was def a bad move on amazons part 🙁
So weird it ends up with just one season.
You finally find a great show and it gets yanked 🙁 truly awesome show Betas
Betas was the first ever series I watched back to back
I was hooked from start to finish
Can’t believe there’s no second series!
I SOOOO would of wanted to see a season 2!!!
I really wanted to see where who T ends up with, and who Nash could end up with (finally amazing to see a multi-racial, homosexual storyline and main character!)
I was very excited to start Season 2 after the crew turned down the offer from Konvene…sad to see it will not come to fruition. Maybe we should hit up Hulu to bring it back to life
