TV fans know there’s nothing worse than when a show you really love gets canceled. However, thanks to an increased number of streaming services, there has also been an increased number of canceled shows getting revived. So when fans of the Amazon Prime series Absentia learned that the show was being canceled after three seasons, they couldn’t help but wonder if there was any possible chance the show would get another shot. At the moment, there is no official plan to bring the series back, but that doesn’t mean that the possibility is completely off the table. Continue reading to find out if there is any hope for a fourth season of Absentia.
Why Was Absentia Canceled?
On the outside, it looks like Absentia was canceled out of nowhere, however, that isn’t really the case. It appears that three seasons the plan all along. When the cancelation announcement was made, Stana Katic the show’s star and executive producer, took to social media to address fans. In a series of tweets she wrote:
“When they asked me in January 2017 if I was ready to spend three years in Bulgaria shooting a cable TV series, I had no idea what I was in for. I could never have imagined the creative partnerships and the friendships that would form and enrich my life. Three Seasons was the perfect amount of space for a beautiful, complicated and wonderfully fulfilling journey. We took our protagonist on the path of victim to survivor to … empowered architect of her own future, which is a journey I hope we can all have after this confounding year. And although we’ve danced with the idea of continuing the tale, “ABSENTIA” was always meant to be only 3 seasons, & I couldn’t think of a better note to end on… for any person on this planet, but especially Emily and her loved ones.”
Even though the news came as a blow to lots of people, it was nice that Stana took the time to include fans in the conversation and share her experiences on the show.
Is There A Chance For Another Season?
Even though this may a tough pull for Absentia fans to follow, it doesn’t look like the possibility of a fourth season is on the table at all. As Stana Katic shared, the show was always meant to last for just three seasons. Unfortunately, it seems to be getting increasingly common for writers to start shows with the intention of only keeping them going for a few seasons. This can definitely be frustrating for viewers, but on one hand, it’s better than having shows keep going even after they’ve started to go downhill.
