Prime Video cancels 'The Sticky' after one season

Prime Video has announced the cancellation of the dark comedy series The Sticky after its first season, which premiered on December 6, 2024. Despite receiving positive reviews with an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the show failed to attract a sufficient audience, a fate shared by another recent cancellation, The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh. The series starred Margo Martindale as Ruth Landry, a maple syrup farmer who turns to crime in response to bureaucratic threats, and was inspired by the infamous 2012 Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. The decision reflects a broader trend in streaming where comedies often face higher cancellation rates compared to dramas. Creators Brian Donovan and Ed Herro, along with various prominent producers, crafted the series, but it ultimately could not sustain viewer interest. Prime Video has yet to provide further insights into the reasons behind the show's cancellation.
