Amazon Prime Video’s “Carnival Row” will end after just two seasons at the streamer, the latest and final installment of the drama set to release Feb. 17, 2023, with weekly episodes thereafter. It will have 10 episodes.
Starring Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom, the steampunk TV series premiered with eight episodes in August 2019, and took audiences into a dark, Victorian-style dystopian world broken by war. Mythical creatures who have fled their homeland gather in the city as tensions between citizens and the growing immigrant population rise. Full of drama, romance, unsolved murders and a fight for power, the show became one of the streamer’s most unexpected hits.
The second season of the drama picks up with “former inspector Rycroft Philostrate a.k.a. Philo (Orlando Bloom) investigating a series of gruesome murders stoking social tension. Vignette Stonemoss (Cara Delevingne) and the Black Raven plot payback for the unjust oppression inflicted by The Burgue’s human leaders, Jonah Breakspear (Arty Froushan)and Sophie Longerbane (Caroline Ford). Tourmaline (Karla Crome) inherits supernatural powers that threaten her fate and the future of The Row. And, after escaping The Burgue and her vengeful brother Ezra (Andrew Gower), Imogen Spurnrose (Tamzin Merchant) and her partner Agreus Astrayon (David Gyasi) encounter a radical new society which upends their plans,” per the season’s official description.
The series is based on Travis Beacham’s original feature script “A Killing on Carnival Row,” which first appeared on the Black List in 2005. It was initially put into development as a series at Amazon in 2015.
Beacham is an executive producer on “Carnival Row” along with Bloom, Delevigne, showrunner Erok Oleson, Brad Van Arragon, Sarah Byrd, Jim Dunn, Sam Ernst, and Wesley Strick. The series is co-produced by Amazon Studios and Legendary Television.
