AMC has decided not to move forward with a third season of NOS4A2.Series creator and showrunner Jami O'Brien confirmed the cancellation news in a series of tweets, disappointed that the show had come to an end but grateful it was able to adapt the complete story from Joe Hill's 2013 novel. In addition to thanking Hill, along with the series' cast and crew, O'Brien thanked the fans for their continued support behind the series.
In an exclusive interview with CBR following the series finale's initial airing, O'Brien expressed hopes that the series would be renewed by AMC, hinting that a potential third season could follow Vic and her son after their traumatic encounters against the monstrous Charlie Manx. The vampire had preyed on children to stay eternally young, menacing Vic across the first two seasons before their longstanding feud reached a dramatic finish in the Season 2 finale.
Adapting the Hill novel of the same name, NOS4A2 was developed by O'Brien and premiered on AMC in June 2019 before being renewed for a second season the following month.
Charlie Manx, a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children, has his whole world threatened when a young woman in New England discovers she has a dangerous gift. A young Victoria "Vic" McQueen discovers she has the power to unlock portals that help her find lost objects.
NOS4A2 Season 2 stars Zachary Quinto, Ashleigh Cummings, Jonathan Langdon, Jason David, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Virginia Kull, Jahkara Smith and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
