Truth Seekers Season 2: Is it Confirmed or Cancelled?
Sadly, there will be no season 3 of Truth Seekers as Amazon has decided to cancel the show after one season.
The information was verified by series co-creator and star Nick Frost.
“Sadly, Truth Seekers will not be returning for a second season,” he said in a since-deleted Instagram video. “Truth Seekers has not been renewed, which is a massive kick in the willy for me. We really put our all into this – our heart and soul, and blood in some cases — so to not come back is really sad for us. It’s a shame. I think we had lots of lovely ghost stories to tell, stories that will remain untold. If you liked the show, thank you. I really, really appreciate your support. And if you didn’t, well, are you happy now? Happy now?”Looks like the show is over for good.
Truth Seekers Season 2 Release Date: When is it?
Truth Seekers season 3 release date is not announced because Amazon canceled the series after the first season.
The eight-episode first season was launched on Amazon Prime Video on October 30, 2020.
Nick Frost conveyed his dissatisfaction in a tape on Instagram. “We really put our all into this, our heart and soul and blood in some cases, so to not come back is really sad for us and it’s a shame. I think we had lots of lovely ghost stories to tell. Stories that will remain now untold.”
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost formerly said they’re up for another season of the show. In a chat with RadioTimes.com, Pegg said: “I’m thinking of at least three seasons.”
He expanded: “We have a multi-season arc. We have this idea of how they progress and who [the characters] become.
“I kind of like the idea of limited seasons. Because nowadays you get things that go on for 10 years and then they run out of steam or they get cancelled. Now we’re in the era of something being one season or two seasons, there aren’t really any rules any more. But if we can make a nice little one-to-three punch, that’ll be great. We’ll see how it goes!”
