Paramount+ Pulls the Plug on 2 Shows After Just 1 Season, Despite Season 2 Teasers

Summary

Paramount+ has cancelled originals Rabbit Hole and Fatal Attraction, despite teasing season 2 stories and impressive leads.

Both shows being canceled after just one season has left viewers with unresolved plotlines and unanswered questions. The reason behind the cancellation remains undisclosed, but the cast and crew are acknowledged and appreciated for their contributions to the respective shows.

Paramount+ has cancelled two of its original shows, Rabbit Hole and Fatal Attraction, despite hinting at season 2 storylines. The dramas featured notable actors, with Kiefer Sutherland leading Rabbit Hole and Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan starring in Fatal Attraction. Rabbit Hole followed a man who becomes entangled in a captivating conspiracy with numerous twists and turns. Fatal Attraction was a modernized adaptation of the Glenn Close and Michael Douglas movie. Both series concluded in May of this year.

TVLine has officially confirmed that Paramount+ has cancelled Fatal Attraction and Rabbit Hole, with each show only airing one season. A spokesperson for Paramount+ did not provide a reason for the cancellation, but extended gratitude to the cast and crew for their efforts. The first season of Rabbit Hole concluded with a hint that there was an even more formidable antagonist yet to be revealed in Sutherland's character's journey. Fatal Attraction ended with Jackson's character being released from prison, but his college-aged daughter transforming into a stalker. If the shows had been renewed, these storylines would have likely continued to evolve.

Which Paramount+ Shows Have Yet To Be Renewed?

Regarding scripted originals based in the U.S. that have not yet been renewed, there are two Paramount+ originals remaining. One is the supernatural thriller Wolf Pack, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the other is Taylor Sheridan's Special Ops: Lioness. Special Ops: Lioness is likely to be renewed as it made a strong impact upon its debut. However, there haven't been any updates on the potential renewal of Wolf Pack season 2 despite positive early signs.

In June, Paramount+ made headlines by announcing the cancellation and removal of four shows: Star Trek: Prodigy, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, The Game, and Queen of the Universe. It is worth mentioning that Rabbit Hole and Fatal Attraction will continue to be available on the platform, unlike those aforementioned shows. However, they do join iCarly in the list of recent Paramount+ cancellations.

Regarding the possibility of a second season of Rabbit Hole, Sutherland expressed his desire to return in an interview. However, the veteran television actor openly discusses the peculiar situation of not knowing the show's standings, attributing it to the lack of transparency regarding the streaming figures. Although it is probable that the shows didn't meet Paramount+'s expectations, the absence of specific details contributes to a general feeling of uncertainty.
