Amazon has announced that Panic will not return for a second season on the streaming platform.
Starring Olivia Welch, Camron Jones and Jessica Sula, the centers around a small town in Texas. Each summer, a group of graduating seniors engage in a game called Panic that requires participants to perform a number of tasks for points. In the end, the winner walks away with thousands of dollars. Harmless? Not really. Last year, two students were killed during a Panic challenge that involved a game of Russian Roulette. This year, high school students decided to play again, but along the way, they discover the game has more secrets than they previously realized.
While Panic was not renewed for a second season. Deadline reports that the show told a complete story during its first season which led producers away from extending the series to the second season.
Panic was released during the second quarter along with The Wilds, a show that tells the story of teenage girls stranded on an island for a social experiment. Fortunately, it performed a bit better than Panic and was renewed for a second season.
Rounding out Amazon’s slate of new content, they have gone headfirst into young adult programming. The tech giant is prepping a reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer and a new series called Hot Pink.
