Panic has come to an end. Amazon Prime Video has decided to cancel the teen drama after just one season. Premiering at the end of May, Panic was not renewed due to not performing as well as other teen dramas on the streaming service, like The Wilds.
Camron Jones, Ray Nicholson, and Olivia Welch star in the series which is based on a novel by Lauren Oliver. The Amazon show follows a competition where teens work to escape from their small hometown. However, per Deadline, “this year, the rules have changed — and they must decide how much they are willing to risk in order to get out.”
The season contained an entire competition, so Amazon felt that fans received a ‘satisfying conclusion’ before deciding to cancel the series.
What do you think? Are you sad that Amazon has cancelled Panic? Would you have watched season two?
I don’t understand why a show with the perfect ending to start a second season was canceled. I loved Panic as did my mom and those I recommended the show to. Networks need to stop dropping the shows worth renewing.
It’s a shame there will not be a second season, I really wanted to watch Ray and Heather fly in love together!
Not everyone who is streaming is starting when a shows airs! Think about who is streaming and why! We got rid of satellite services to try streaming because it is more economical and it make sense to subscribe to the only thing you watch instead of getting a large bill for channels you pay for and never watch! My teen and I were really hoping for another season. Give something back to the economical middle and low class and make more money overall by providing an affordable entertainment service! Do not judge how well a show did via streaming at… Read more »
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CANCEL PANIC!! It kept me interested and I still am. I disagree with Amazon Prime saying it was not as good as The Wild. I watched both and, in my opinion, Panic is way better. I would appreciate if they would make more seasons because man, i love that show.
I stumbled across panic. I am not even close to the target YA audience being 44. It still kept my attention and I enjoyed it. I think a second season would have done well and I would have been glad to watch it. It’s a shame there are so many shows that get years of renewals that are awful, and this one didn’t even get a chance.
Well said!
I really enjoyed watching this show. I am disappointed that there will not be a season 2. Panic was 1 of the best shows on t.v. I am pretty good at uncovering the bad guy b4 the show end but this one I was surprised.
I actually would have watched it. I don’t think I’m the target audience but I ended up really enjoying it, even the love triangle.
pretty disappointed there’s no renewal for season 2. i was curious to see how the story would pan out. 🙁
i would’ve watched season 2 gladly
Not surprised it’s cancelled, but I would have watched another season if had returned. It was definitely better than I expected.
I was on the edge of my seat watched Panic. Not happy that there isn’t gonna be a second season. Really enjoyed the ride.
