Anthony Mackie became the new Takeshi Kovacs in the second season of Netflix‘s “Altered Carbon” that launched in February, and that will end up being the show’s final season.
Deadline reports today that Netflix has cancelled the sci-fi series.
Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva notes, “I hear Netflix’s decision not to proceed with further seasons was made in April and is not COVID-related but stems from the streamer’s standard viewership vs. cost renewal review process.”
Based on the classic cyberpunk noir novel by Richard K. Morgan, “Altered Carbon” is an intriguing story of murder, love, sex, and betrayal, set more than 300 years in the future. Society has been transformed by new technology: consciousness can be digitized; human bodies are interchangeable; death is no longer permanent.
The series was created by Laeta Kalogridis.
An animated film, Altered Carbon: Resleeved, hit Netflix earlier this year.
