Fans of The Peripheral will likely be disappointed to learn that the Prime Video series won’t be getting a second season, despite previous reports.Starring Chloë Grace Moretz and produced by the creators of HBO’s Westworld, The Peripheral is a unique sci-fi series that captivated viewers on Prime Video upon its release in the fall of last year. Earlier this year, Amazon officially renewed the series for a second season, and pre-production had just begun when the Writers Guild of America strike launched. The subsequent SAG-AFTRA strike would ensure that production wouldn’t pick back up anytime soon, and THR now reports that Amazon has now un-renewed The Peripheral as a result, citing the strikes as the reason.The Peripheral was not a cheap series to develop, reportedly costing around $175 million for Season 1. That was over the course of eight episodes, and the plan was for Season 2 to consist of a smaller episode count, limited to six. It’s not clear what the planned budget was exactly for Season 2, though a heavy cost could have been another factor in the series getting canceled. It also remains unclear if the strikes will affect Fallout, an upcoming Prime Video series based on the video game that’s also from Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.Related: 10 New Shows That Have Already Been Renewed For A Second Season
