Huge TV show cancelled despite A-list cast and cliffhanger ending
A HUGE Apple TV+ show has been cancelled – despite its impressive A-list cast and a cliffhanger ending last season.
The popular programme, which stars filmmaker Justin Theroux and Home and Away actress Melissa George, has been axed.
Drama series The Mosquito Coast, which debuted on the streaming service back in 2021, has already been cancelled.
Apple TV+ decided not to go ahead with filming for a third season, despite an epic cliffhanger ending earlier this year.
The programme tells the story of inventor Allie Fox, played by Justin, 51, and his family, as they escape the US government in Mexico.
While Melissa, 46, plays wife Margot, while Unhinged star Gabriel Bateman and actress Logan Polish portray kids Charlie and Dina.
The much-loved show saw fans left on the edge of their seats as the second series came to an end in the middle of the action.
However, despite calls to see more – the television giant decided not to commission a third series of Mosquito Coast.
The news broke just weeks after the success of the most recent series, with adverts for the show still running on Apple TV.
Melissa, 46, who plays wife Margot in the show, revealed she was still holding out hope for a third series, despite the heartbreaking news.
She told EW: “They leave it quite like a finale for a series, but I don’t really know what’s going to happen with the show. But fingers crossed!”
It’s not the only major streaming show that has been axed this week, as Netflix announced a huge cancellation on their site.
Hit series Ridley Jones has been “quietly dumped” and “cancelled” after it faced backlash over a non-binary character.
Show creator Nee Chris took to Twitter to share Netflix “cancelled us” after putting out the fifth and final season with “with no promotion.”
The show Ridley Jones is about a young girl who lives with her mum and grandmother in a magical museum.
However, the show recently faced a wave of backlash after a non-binary character triggered complaints.
In the eighth episode of the new season, titled “Herd Day,” a bison named “Fred” comes out as non-binary to their grandmother.
Critics claimed to show was injecting a “woke” agenda.
