Paramount Plus fans spot 'clue' network has suddenly canceled popular show after just two seasons

THE streaming service Paramount Plus has canceled a popular show after just two seasons.

Fans first spotted that Joe Picket was ending after a seeing a clue on their app.

TV Line confirmed that episode 10 of season two, will be the series last.

The website Matt & Jess TV Commentary first reported what when they logged on to watch episode nine, it said that episode 10 was the "series finale" and that it would stream on Sunday.

Matt & Jess then updated their article to say that since they posted about the series finale, Paramount Plus updated the description to "season finale."

Episode 10 will air on July 30, and despite the streaming service fixing the error, TV Line reported that it could be the last episode of Joe Pickett ever.

The outlet reached out to a Paramount Plus spokesperson, who told them: "There is no renewal news yet."

The fate of the show has been up in the air for a while, but this seemingly confirms that it is ending.

However, the outlet is still saying that this Sunday's episode is the season finale and not the series finale, with no official cancelation news.

Joe Pickett, originally aired on Spectrum, before moving to Paramount.

The Western-crime drama follows a "game warden and his family during a changing political and socioeconomic climate in a small rural town," according to IMDb.

OUT OF THIS WORLD

Last month, the streaming service also canceled the popular show, Star Trek Prodigy.

Fans were devastated as the first season left them with a major plot hole.

A second season of the animated show was expected to air this year but that is now in doubt if another broadcaster won’t take it on.

A follow-up from the ‘90s series, Star Trek Voyage, Prodigy saw legendary character Admiral Kathryn Janeway traveling through the galaxy helping a group of aliens escape persecution. 

One of the plot lines centered on Janeway looking for Captain Chakotay, who was lost in space after travelling through a temporal anomaly.  

And now fans fear they’ll never find out what happened as the show has been unceremoniously cancelled.

The shock axing was first reported by Deadline, who revealed Prodigy is just one of many shows being removed from the platform including Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Queen of the Universe and The Game.

The only hope remaining is that another channel will snap up the cartoon series as the second season has already been created.

They wrote: “The new season will complete post-production, and the studio will be looking for a new home for Star Trek: Prodigy as season one comes off the service shortly.”

Devastated Star Trek fans flooded social media to launch a campaign to save the beloved show, and it was long before the hashtag #SaveStarTrekProdigy began trending on Twitter. 

One person wrote: “This sucks. With the possible exception of Strange New Worlds, Prodigy is the best ‘New Trek’ series.”

“Ridiculous. The writing character and the plotting and pacing of this show put many live action shows in the shade. I finished season 1 yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it,” added someone else.

While a third person tweeted: “This is such a disappointment. #startrekprodigy was such a great show to get kids excited about this wonderful franchise. I don't understand it was such a good show!”

“This is so disappointing. I literally only subscribe to Paramount+ to watch new Star Trek. If they start pulling and canceling everything, it's a bye from me…,” warned a another disgruntled subscriber.

Keen to assuage the fears of stricken Star Trek fans, Prodigy screenwriter, Aaron J Waltke took to social media to try and reassure fans.

He tweeted: “Obviously, there is not much I can say. Everyone on the cast and crew loves #StarTrekProdigy deeply. I have noticed some misleading headlines, so all I can do is point to this particular part of the press release. We are completing season two on schedule and seeking a new home!”

'I'M ANGRY!'

Also in June, Paramount Plus announced that it was canceling four major shows and removing all of their back seasons on the platform.

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies has been canceled after one season.

The animated show Star Trek: Prodigy will also not have a season two after all, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Competition show Queen of the Universe will not be back for season three.

And the revival The Game has been canceled after two seasons.

Along with not being renewed, all four shows' past seasons will be removed from Paramount+.

The streaming service has joined Warner Bros. and Disney in that they get a tax write-off for removing underperforming series.

Paramount+ will incorporate Showtime programs into their platform in the U.S.
