Prime Video has canceled 'Motorheads' after its first season. The YA drama premiered all 10 episodes on May 20. Producers are now seeking a new platform to continue the series for its fans.
Motorheads is about first love, first heartbreak, and turning the key in your first car. Set in a once-thriving rust-belt town that’s now searching for a glimmer of hope, the series is an adrenaline-filled story of a group of outsiders who form an unlikely friendship over a mutual love of street racing, while navigating the hierarchy and rules of high school.
"We set out to make a show with no agenda and a lot of heart, to give families something they can watch together," executive producer Jason Seagraves told Deadline in a statement. "While Johnny and I are disappointed Motorheads won’t be continuing at Prime Video, we couldn’t be more proud of what the team created. Despite going into release with impossibly low audience awareness, our passionate and vocal fan base led the charge and made the series impossible to ignore. Their enthusiasm has energized us and we’re optimistic we’ll find a home that believes in and supports the show."
The cast included Ryan Phillippe, Nathalie Kelley, Michael Cimino, Melissa Collazo, Uriah Shelton, Nicolas Cantu, Drake Rodger, Josh Macqueen, Mia Healey, Matt Lanter, Audrey Gerthoffer, and Johnna Dias-Watson.
Previously, Vernon Sanders, Amazon MGM Studios' head of TV, expressed, "What I’ve been excited to see on that show in particular is we’ve got such great completion rates. So folks who start that show tend to watch it all the way through, and that’s a great sign."
Season 1 is streaming.
