No Season 2 for the coming-of-age racing drama at Amazon.
Overview
Prime Video has cancelled Motorheads after one season, our insiders have confirmed. The cancellation comes three months after the release of its 10-episode freshman run, which debuted earlier this year.
The family drama, created by John A. Norris, followed a small-town community where racing culture and personal struggles intertwined. Despite low awareness at launch, the series developed a passionate online fanbase that has been campaigning for renewal on platforms like TikTok and X.
While Prime Video has opted not to move forward with a second season, producers have secured permission from Amazon to shop the series elsewhere. Conversations with other outlets are reportedly underway.
Jason Seagraves, Executive Producer:
“We set out to make a show with no agenda and a lot of heart, to give families something they can watch together. While Johnny and I are disappointed Motorheads won’t be continuing at Prime Video, we couldn’t be more proud of what the team created. Despite going into release with impossibly low audience awareness, our passionate and vocal fan base led the charge and made the series impossible to ignore. Their enthusiasm has energized us and we’re optimistic we’ll find a home that believes in and supports the show.”
