Despite strong reviews (78% with critics and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes), Motorheads never fully took off in the streaming charts (it never made Nielsen’s weekly Top 10 streaming rankings), likely leading to its cancellation, per Deadline.
Still, the show’s passionate fan base has been rallying online, and producers say they’re already in talks with other platforms to give the series a second life.
Executive producer Jason Seagraves praised the cast, crew, and vocal fans in a statement to Deadline, saying their support has made the show “impossible to ignore,” and that they’re optimistic they’ll “find a home that believes in and supports the show.”
There are so many Prime Video shows that have unfortunately been canceled this year.
