It is being reported by Deadline that Prime Video has cancelled The Runarounds after just one season. The news comes seven months after the YA drama released its 8-episode freshman run. The move is not surprising, as the show ultimately failed to generate any significant buzz despite being generally well-received by critics and viewers.

The series follows a group of recent high school graduates from Wilmington, North Carolina, united by their shared love of music. Together they decide to form a rock band in the hopes of escaping the mundane futures that are laid out before them. As the band seeks their big break and near impossible dream over the course of one unforgettable summer, they build bonds, fall in love, and find trouble along the way.
