Bad news for fans of ‘The Wilds’a series in which at the time many saw a kind of successor to ‘Lost’, since Amazon Prime Video has decided call it off with a bang. That means that the series is left without an end and will not have at least a third season to close all the open fronts.
Everything indicates that a change at the head of Amazon Studios may have played an important role in its cancellation. After all, ‘The Wilds’ was one of the last series developed by Jamie Tarses when he was in charge of the company, a role currently held by Jennifer Saleke. And it is true that Amazon continues to bet on fictions aimed at young adult audiences, but Salke has probably chosen to prioritize those titles in which she was involved at all times.
The sad news of the cancellation of ‘The Wilds’ comes almost three months after the premiere of the second season on May 6. More than enough time to have checked if he was worth it to go ahead with her. The problem is that plot-wise, the series is going to leave an important cliffhanger unresolved. Of course, its showrunners said at the time that they were quite clear how the story was going to continue, so there is always hope that they will at least make it public.
Starring Rachel Griffiths, David Sullivan, Troy Winbush, Sophia Ali, Sarah Pidgeon, Jenna Clause, Erana James, Mia Healey, Helena Howard, Reign Edwards and Shannon Berry, ‘The Wilds’ tells the story of a diverse group of teenagers who end up in a desert island after a plane crash. Once there, you will have to do everything possible to survive…
no doubt that many will miss ‘The Wilds’, but on Amazon there are many titles that are worthwhile. You will find proof of this in our selection of the best Prime Video movies of 2022 and in our list of the best Amazon series of this year.
