Joe’s work is done. Joe Pickett has been cancelled, so there won’t be a third season on the Paramount+ streaming service. The second season of 10 episodes finished airing at the end of July.
A Western crime drama series, the Joe Pickett TV series stars Michael Dorman, Julianna Guill, Skywalker Hughes, Kamryn Pliva, Vivienne Guynn, Chad Rock, Aadila Dosani, Sharon Lawrence, Paul Sparks, Mustafa Speaks, and Patrick Gallagher. Set in Wyoming, the story centers on Joe Pickett (Dorman), a committed game warden who lives in the small town of Saddlestring and the surrounding wilderness of Yellowstone National Park. He and his family grapple with the ever-changing socio-political dynamics of their financially challenged small country town.
In season two, Joe discovers a hunter murdered in the mountains and realizes this is just one of a series of gruesome murders. To solve the case and catch the killer, Joe must navigate a radical anti-hunting activist, a ghoulish set of twins living off the grid, and his own tortured past. Joe and his wife, Marybeth (Guill), discover that the murdered men aren’t as innocent as they seem. But when they dig too deep, the Picketts are forced to go on the run and fight for their lives.
Adapted from the novels by C.J. Box, Joe Pickett began as a Spectrum Originals series and debuted in December 2021, The show was renewed for a second season, but Spectrum later got out of the original scripted series business.
Paramount+ subsequently picked up both seasons. When the second season finale was first released, it was briefly labeled as a series finale. While the crime drama won’t return for a third season, the two existing seasons will remain on the streaming service.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed the Joe Pickett TV series? Are you disappointed this series wasn’t renewed for a third season on Paramount+?
This is terrible! Why stop a good show like this? I was waiting for more!!
We loved this show and were really looking forward to another season or more!! VERY disappointed that it’s cancelled!! Sad but most of the good shows do get cancelled and the “crap” shows stay on tv!!
Joe Pickett was a great series with originality and I’m very disappointed it has been canceled
I’m so disappointed. My husband and I really liked this show. It reminded me of Longmire (another great show that should have continued).
That’s so disappointing! I loved that show, it took a bit to get into it but it was a great story and it was getting exciting. Like why is every good show canceled. Someone else please pick it up for the fans, at least to end the series for the fans and the actors!
This is so disappointing, I enjoyed Joe Picket more than Yellowstone. Who can we make a complaint to? I am really upset they dead ended a great series
What a shame. Beautiful scenery, characters had depth, good plot twists. Joe Pickett’s respect for nature & his moral compass was refreshing
PARAMOUNT PLEASE RECONSIDER
Liked the show. Figures they keep the ignorant crap on.
Oh no Best script hate the cliff hanging ending.I hope Prime Video might pick it up. I liked so many shows they did not pick up and kept the crappy ones.
Great show. Always cancel the good shows. Please reconsider.
WOW that’s sad I enjoyed it
Sooooo disappointed. I loved this show. Bring it back!
We loved watching this show. Love all of CJ Box’s books. Rethinking subscription to paramount plus.
I hate this. Another show I got sucked into and love for it only to last a couple of seasons. I read somewhere that it was the authors doing because he didn’t like how his books were being portrayed on screen. He should have gotten the viewers input before he decided he didn’t want them to produce anymore. I absolutely loved this show.
