Prime Video Axes "The Bondsman": Series Dropped After Just One Season!

The End of the Line for ‘The Bondsman’

It appears that the journey for the supernatural series The Bondsman, starring Kevin Bacon, was briefer than expected. According to TVLine, Prime Video has decided not to renew the series for a second season.

Kevin Bacon portrayed the character Hub Halloran, a bounty hunter whose life takes a drastic turn when he is killed while on duty. Unexpectedly resurrected, Hub is tasked with the mission of tracking down and returning demons that have fled from hell to their infernal origins. The show premiered its entire first season, consisting of eight episodes, on April 3 on Prime Video.

Kevin Bacon shared his feelings about the cancellation on Instagram, expressing his disappointment and gratitude. “Really bummed out that The Bondsman is not coming back for a second season,” he commented in a video posted on Sunday. “I just really loved walking in Hub Halloran’s shoes, making that show with so many great, talented people, making that music. I wish I had an explanation for you, but I honestly don’t. But for those of you who checked it out and wrote so many sweet comments — and there were a lot of you — I just want to say thanks. It means a lot to me. And, you know, I guess that’s the way it goes.”
