Prime Video Cancels Motorheads After One Season, Producers Seek New Network

Amazon Prime Video has canceled the YA drama series Motorheads after just one season despite the show’s strong audience reception and positive critical reviews. Starring Ryan Phillippe, Michael Cimino, Melissa Collazo, and Nathalie Kelley, the series followed twins Zac and Caitlyn as they reconnect with their uncle and explore a passion for street car racing. The show maintained a high completion rate and consistently ranked in Prime Video’s Top 10 charts, even reentering the Top 5 shortly before cancellation, which surprised fans and critics alike. Executive producer Jason Seagraves expressed disappointment but remains optimistic about finding a new platform for the series, which Amazon has allowed the producers to shop elsewhere. Fans have voiced frustration about the premature cancellation, partly blaming the platform’s limited marketing efforts that contributed to lower initial awareness. The series ended on a cliffhanger involving a dramatic car crash, leaving unresolved storylines and fueling hope among fans for a continuation on another network.
