NOS4A2 is finished. AMC has canceled the series and it will not be returning for a third season. I enjoyed this show, which was based on Joe Hill‘s best-selling novel, so I’m kind of bummed out by the news.
Executive producer and showrunner Jami O’Brien confirmed the news today on Twitter, saying:
“I heard from AMC last week. 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.
“I will miss seeing everyone back in Little Rhody this year, but I’m awfully proud of all we’ve done together.”
“Thank you to @joe_hill for all your generosity, imagination, and support, and for trusting us with Vic and Charlie, Maggie, Bing, Linda, Chris, Lou, Tabitha, Wayne, Millie, and all your flawed, complicated, and beautiful characters…
“And THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone who tuned in — especially to those who tweeted along with us each week — you made Sunday nights a lot of fun,” O’Brien added in a final tweet. “Hope to do it again with you all somewhere down the road… xoxoxo.”
The series starred Zachary Quinto and Ashley Cummings and the story centered on Vic McQueen, “a gifted young woman who discovers she has a supernatural ability to find lost things. This ability puts her on a collision course with Charlie Manx (Quinto), a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children, then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – an icy, twisted Christmas village of Manx’s imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Vic strives to defeat Manx and rescue his victims – without losing her mind or falling victim to him herself.”
What do you all think about AMC canceling NOS4A2?
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… 2/4
