Avenue 5 Season 3: Is it renewed or canceled?
Sadly, the opportunity to watch more seasons of, “Avenue 5,” was short-lived, as HBO has officially confirmed that the third season has been canceled!
The news of the series’ cancellation after two seasons is a bit surprising, as the overall reception of the series has been favorable among fans and critics worldwide. On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has an approval rating of 67% based on 52 reviews, with an average rating of 6.3/10. The website’s critical consensus states, “If Avenue 5‘s maiden voyage isn’t as smooth as its creative clout implies, it’s still a hilarious step in a completely new—while still enjoyably caustic—direction for creator Armando Iannucci.” On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 64 out of 100, based on 28 critics, indicating “generally favorable reviews.”
Additionally, the premium cable network Warner Bros. Discovery has finally confirmed that the series will not return for a third season. It comes eight months after Deadline reported that the series was likely to end, and just a few days after star Hugh Laurie was announced as the star of Season 3 of Apple TV+’s Tehran.”Going to space with Armando Iannucci has been an incredible journey,” said an HBO spokeswoman. Further adding, “While we will not be moving forward with a third season of Avenue 5, we look forward to many more adventures together.” Take a look at some of the fan’s reactions to the sudden cancellation of the show:
