Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

30. Absentia

Network: Amazon Prime Video
Status: Ended After Three Seasons

When “Absentia” was initially picked up by AXN, in 2017, the show’s creators had a three-year plan with a storyline in mind, and they had no desire to stray from it. The first two seasons of “Absentia” were available, internationally, on AXN but on Amazon Prime Video in North America, while the third season aired, exclusively, on Amazon Prime Video worldwide.

By knowing that the series was intended to be no more, and no less, than 3 seasons in duration, the storyline was more succinct, and its loyal following of viewers weren’t left with a cliffhanger ending to the series.
