Prime Video Cancels The Runarounds After One Season

Modest viewership signaled the show fell short of Prime Video’s bar for YA renewals.

Overview

  • The Runarounds, which trade outlets reported Friday was canceled, will not return for a second season on Prime Video.
  • The series never reached Nielsen’s weekly Top 10 and logged 1.9 million, 2.2 million, then 1.2 million U.S. viewing hours on Luminate in its first three weeks.
  • The real-life band featured on the show — William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher — is continuing a tour that runs through the end of June.
  • Creator Jonas Pate had mapped out a five-season arc, but those plans end with the first season after the streamer passed on renewal.
  • Lilah Pate, the show’s female lead, has joined Paramount+’s Frisco King, as Prime Video trims parts of its recent YA push that also included short-lived titles.
