Power’s Cancelled after two seasons, by Playstation. the service’s first and only TV show. Co-creator and comic author Brian Michael Bendis took to Twitter on 3rd August. “This is hard to tweet, but word is that [Powers] is sadly no more,” wrote Bendis. ” I’ll type more about it later, but thank you ALL for your support. Such a fantastic personal experience that you gifted all of us.”
The show starred Sharlto Copley as Christian Walker, a detective specializing in the investigation of crimes involving superhumans called “powers,” and it spanned two seasons and 20 episodes before its cancelation. Sony made a concerted effort to promote and distribute Powers beyond the world’s PlayStations after plucking the show from development at FX. The first season remained available on the company’s Crackle streaming service until it was removed in May of this year, and the first episode of the show’s second season is still available on YouTube, where it’s nearing 5 million views. Powers is also going to continue its life as a comic series: Bendis tweeted that two issues of a new storyline called Diamond Days are “already in the can.”
But, Bendis seems optimistic about a TV renewal somewhere in the distant future. When a fan asked about the possibility of the show returning,
he noted its millions of YouTube hits and that “people [behind the scenes] believe in us.”
I personally enjoyed Powers, it had decent performances by the actors, most notably the lead actor Shartlo Copley and the story line was very interesting, they always found new ways to make each episode interesting to watch. But what do you think about the show’s cancellation, did you like it? What were the motive behind the cancellation? Let us know in the comments below.
