After renewing the series for a second season and recently naming a new showrunner, Amazon has canceled Christina Ricci starrer Z: The Beginning Of Everything. Amazon confirmed the decision came while the series was in the process of writing scripts for Season 2.
Created by Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin, the half-hour dramedy was based on based on the life of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (Ricci), the brilliant, beautiful and talented Southern Belle who becomes the original flapper and icon of the wild Jazz Age in the 20s.
Karl Gajdusek (Stranger Things) had just recently been named showrunner/executive producer for Season 2.
Prestwich and Yorkin also exec produced along with Pamela Koffler, Christine Vachon and Ricci.
Amazon also scrapped Chris Carter’s The After after picking it up to series two years ago.
that’s too bad my girlfriend and I just watched the whole season and thought it was amazing
Omg! I was looking forward to this? Why do stations cancel the good shows and keep the crap?
Dang….. I was so happy when it was renewd, now you changed your mind. Boo on you Amazon. I loved the show. So disappointed!!!!! Ricci was amazing.
This gets so old…we all get caught up into something we enjoy and then…”bang” the axe..no next season..well don’t put it out there if you can’t fulfill. It’s old!
My husband and I a well as our friends loved the show! We read lots of novels by Scott Fitzgerald and like them as well. The actors in the series were great! Why not continue and make the second season? I demand an answer from Amazon. Why do we have to pay for the half shows?
