Cut-Short Stories, Distinctive Style: 10 Prime Video Shows Canceled Soon but Still Worth Watching | TVLine

A comedy cut short

One Mississippi stars Tig Notaro as Tig Bavaro, a Los Angeles radio host who returns to her Mississippi hometown after her mother dies. Notaro co-created the series with Diablo Cody, and the story follows Tig as she reconnects with her rural roots and grows closer to Kate, played by Stephanie Allynne.

The show received positive reviews but ended after two seasons and 12 episodes. Its mix of deadpan humor and emotional vulnerability makes the brief run feel like a series that was still finding its footing.

A superhero cult favorite

Prime Video rebooted The Tick as a live-action series in 2016, with Peter Serafinowicz playing the crime-fighting hero. He teams up with anxious sidekick Arthur Everest, played by Griffin Newman, and encounters an assortment of unusual heroes and villains.

The reboot lasted two seasons before its cancellation in 2019. Its cast embraced the comedy, and Serafinowicz and Newman built the show around a central buddy dynamic. By then, Prime Video also had The Boys, a more mature take on subversive superhero stories.

Hollywood without resolution

The Last Tycoon adapted F. Scott Fitzgerald’s final novel for television, with Matt Bomer as movie producer Monroe Stahr. Monroe clashes with studio head Pat Brady, played by Kelsey Grammer, while dealing with romantic complications and a secret terminal medical condition.

The series ran for nine episodes before it was canceled, leaving Monroe’s fate unknown. Its portrayal of Golden Age Hollywood combines glamour with a darker view of the entertainment business, and the growing conflict between Monroe and Brady ends without resolution.
