AMC’s “NOS4A2” will not be getting a third season. The news came this morning when showrunner Jami O’Brien tweeted the news.
“Well friends, I heard from AMC last week. We won’t be making a 3rd season of #NOS4A2 . It’s a bummer, but I’m grateful we were at least able to finish adapting the storyline from Joe Hill’s terrific novel,” said O’Brien in a tweet.
DEADLINE confirmed the news with AMC, who in a statement said, “Christmasland may live forever, but NOS4A2 will come to an end with the conclusion of season two.”
The news comes on the heels of the season two finale, which aired on August 23. The show’s second season struggled in ratings, drawing in about half as many viewers as the show’s first season, even with the second season’s episodes being simulcast on AMC and BBC America.
Based on Joe Hill’s best-selling 2013 novel, “NOS4A2” tells the story of Vic McQueen (Ashley Cummings), a gifted young woman who discovers she has a supernatural ability to find lost things. This ability puts her on a collision course with Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto), a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children, then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – an icy, twisted Christmas village of Manx’s imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Vic strives to defeat Manx and rescue his victims – without losing her mind or falling victim to him herself. The series also starred Jahkara Smith, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Virginia Kull and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
