Amazon just canceled 3 shows at once: 'Jean-Claude Van Johnson,' 'One Mississippi,' and 'I Love Dick' - here are the others it has dropped
Amazon
Then it turned around and canceled three shows at once: "Jean-Claude Van Johnson," "One Mississippi," and "I Love Dick."
The cancellations come as Amazon continues to clean house after a management shakeup.
In October, Amazon Studios head Roy Price resigned after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced, and CEO Jeff Bezos has reportedly directed a change in strategy at the company, which led to Amazon in November grabbing the rights to make a TV series based on "The Lord of the Rings."
Amazon also seems to have a much quicker trigger finger than Netflix, and has killed a bunch of shows already. The recent crop consisted of "I Love Dick," which was nominated for a Golden Globe (Kevin Bacon as best actor in a comedy), "One Mississippi" starring comedian Tig Notaro, and "Jean-Claude Van Johnson," which launched in December and starred Jean-Claude Van Damme as a fictionalized version of himself.
Here are the shows Amazon has killed, along with their critic and audience ratings from Metacritic:
