AMC Networks Cancels ‘NOS4A2’ After Two Seasons
AMC Networks supernatural horror series NOSA42 has been canceled after two seasons. Showrunner and executive producer Jami O’Brien announced the news via Twitter on Monday. The network also confirmed the news to Deadline.
“Well friends, I heard from AMC last week,” O’Brien tweeted. “We won’t be making a 3rd season of #NOS4A2. It’s a bummer, but I’m grateful we were at least able to finish adapting the storyline from Joe Hill’s terrific novel… CONGRATULATIONS to every single member of our phenomenal team on two seasons of weird and wonderful TV. I will miss seeing everyone back in Little Rhody this year, but I’m awfully proud of all we’ve done together.”

NOSA42 unfortunately fell victim to a sophomore slump. With Deadline reporting the show lost about half of its viewership from season one. The second season picked up eight years after the events of season one. Vic McQueen (Ashleigh Cummings) remains more determined than ever to destroy Charlie Manx (Emmy®-nominated actor and producer Zachary Quinto). Charlie, having faced his own mortality, emerges desperate for revenge against Vic. This time, he sets his sights on the person who means most to Vic – her eight-year-old son Wayne. The race for Wayne’s soul sends Vic and Charlie on a high-speed collision course, forcing both to confront the mistakes of their pasts in order to secure a hold on Wayne’s future.
The series also starred Jahkara Smith, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Virginia Kull, Jonathan Langdon, Ashley Romans, Jason David and Mattea Conforti. NOS4A2 is based on Joe Hill’s best-selling novel of the same name.
“Christmasland may live forever, but NOS4A2 will come to an end with the conclusion of season two,” AMC said in a statement to Deadline. “We are so thankful to Jami O’Brien, Joe Hill and the entire cast and crew for two seasons of inspired, terrifying and thoroughly captivating and age-defying television. And thanks to the fans for climbing into the Wraith and coming along for the ride.”
While NOS4A2 won’t be getting a third season, you will be able to stream season two when it comes to the AMC Network owned Shudder, on September 10. Be sure to follow ScaryNerd for more of all things horror.
