American Rust is making a comeback with its highly anticipated Season 2. However, fans of the show will have to head over to Amazon Prime Video to catch the new episodes, as the series has switched networks. Originally canceled after just one season on Showtime in January 2022, American Rust found new life when Freevee, Amazon's ad-supported TV platform, picked it up for a second season in June. Now, Prime Video is set to release the 10-episode second season on March 28.
This move raises interesting questions about the future of Freevee, particularly now that Prime Video has launched its own ad-supported tier. The streaming platform previously announced that another show, Leverage: Redemption, would also be moving from Freevee to Prime Video for its third season. Additionally, a spinoff of the popular series Bosch, featuring cold case detective Renée Ballard, is set to be produced exclusively for Prime Video, despite the original Bosch series airing on Freevee. It seems like a shift is underway in Amazon's streaming landscape.
