Chapelwaite will not be returning for a second season. MGM+ (formerly EPIX) has cancelled the horror drama after one season of 10 episodes.
Starring Adrien Brody, Emily Hampshire, Jennifer Ens, Sirena Gulamgaus, Ian Ho, and Eric Peterson, the series is based on Jerusalem’s Lot by Stephen King. The story follows a widower (Brody) as he raises his three daughters and moves the family to his ancestrial home in a small town in Maine.
The first season of Chapelwaite aired on EPIX in 2021 and the outlet announced that a second season was in development in February 2022.
Via social media, co-creator and executive producer Jason Filardi broke the news of the show’s cancellation:
“I’m afraid Captain Boone’s story ends on that beach of weathered, Maine sand. There will be no Season 2. Thank you to all the Chapelwaite fans!”
What do you think? Were you looking forward to Chapelwaite season two? Are you sad that the series has been cancelled?
I think it was a political move to boycott S. King. It’s a shame too. The show was ricking it. Too bad
I absolutely loved the first season, and was really looking forward to watching season 2. I really dislike how they let you get so very involved in these new series whether 1 or 3 seasons, then abruptly just stop, never returning. It definitely makes me not want to become involved in any of their series, anymore.
I knew I wasn’t crazy, this was actually renewed before! I was surprised to see its renewal, however, since the ending seemed pretty final. Sadly, now it definitely is final.
I loved the series
Whatever happened to War of The Worlds? I’m guessing it was cancelled but not ever confirmed.
Chapelwaite was far superior to Domina + The Winter King, which are both brutally boring. MGM+ has 1 great show and the rest is blah to boring.
Haven’t seen Domina yet, but I can confirm that the Winter King does little to capture your attention, even though it looks all right enough in production values.
Would have liked a second season of Chapelwaite though, as I was certain that there was enough backstory for at least 2 seasons. And Brody is a good actor, who can carry a show.
Too bad he isn’t allowed to with Chapelwaite.
I haven’t checked out The Winter King yet, but Domina was soo boring in addition to being much too profane. I don’t remember this problem in Season 1, but Season 2 was just a constant stream of f-words. It was very distracting to the point where I just gave up on it.
