(Prime Video)
The Night Sky series has been sunset. Prime Video has cancelled the science-fiction show so there won’t be a second season.
A drama, the Night Sky TV show stars Sissy Spacek, J.K. Simmons, Chai Hansen, Kiah McKirnan, Julieta Zylberberg, Rocío Hernández, and Adam Bartley. Spanning space and time, the story follows Irene (Spacek) and Franklin York (Simmons). Years ago, the couple discovered a chamber buried in their backyard which inexplicably leads to a strange, deserted planet. They’ve carefully guarded their secret ever since, but when an enigmatic young man (Hansen) enters their lives, the Yorks’ quiet existence is quickly upended. The mystifying chamber they thought they knew so well turns out to be much more than they could ever have imagined.
Co-produced by Amazon Studios and Legendary Television, the series debuted on May 20th and all eight episodes were released the same day. Deadline reports that, while the series garnered positive reviews, Night Sky didn’t attract a large enough audience to justify the high-cost investment of making a second season of this sci-fi series.
While the show didn’t attract a large enough audience on Earth, perhaps the series might find more appreciation in other parts of the universe.
Prime Video, in conjunction with Amazon Web Services, SES, and Intelsat, beamed the first episode of the sci-fi drama series into outer space just in time for the series premiere. This marks not only the farthest distance from the earth that a TV series has been distributed but also makes Prime Video the first streamer to distribute its content directly into space.
What do you think? Have you watched the Night Sky TV series on Prime Video? Are you disappointed that there won’t be a second season?
I really loved that series! I cannot believe that prime is so stupid to cancel it! I was so looking forward to all the new episodes…so disappointed! The best actors in it…quality dialogue…interesting plot…really bummed that I have nothing to go to now…
I just can’t believe it! A truly thought provoking, intelligent show with so much potential in plot and story development axed just like that.
Very sad!
I turn on the tv and see a new game show which is simply a giant junga tower!
This reminds me of the Netflix show about going to Mars, which also had excellent acting, Away….such a horrible trend!
This is FRUSTRATING!!! This series is amazing!! Only dumb Amazon executives don’t see it!
Shame on you, Amazon!!!!!
So bummed. Great series.
Night Sky is fantastic. How in the world can they cancel it. It’s one of the few shows worth watching.
This is a great show. I can’t believe there isn’t going to be another season!
I think they designed the finale in a way where it does work as a series finale if it has to be, but man I would have loved to see where it went next
Loved the relationship of the main characters, such a shame there won’t be a second series
Great show! I am very disappointed to hear it’s been cancelled!
Great show, well acted, interesting story, very sad to see it go.
We just watched all episodes yesterday and today. How disappointing it was canceled. Reminds me of how disappointed I was when Firefly was canceled.
Series really hooked us in. Superb acting. Plot a little uneven and plenty of loose threads that could mean the series had legs for a second and third or more series. Cancellation seemed short-sighted by Amazon. Plenty of meat left on the bones of this story.
We were enjoying night sky. Too bad!
Shame shame shame. Finally a show that was intriguing, left lots of threads to follow into seasons of the future, and whoever decided to cancel it?!? I’m so tired of everything else on “Prime”
Wonderful, thought-provoking series quite adept at interweaving sub-stories into the mainline. Sorry we won’t be able to explore the city discovered on their far-away planet, but more sorry that yet another series starring senior citizen actors gets axed to make room for more millennial angst. For shame, Amazon.
