Instead, it had its network shut down.” Instead of giving up, the show found a new home on Amazon Prime and will premiere there in 2020. YouTube has not confirmed the show’s cancellation.Ĭo-author Rhett Reese put it best on Twitter in 2019: “Actually, Wayne didn’t get cancelled. At first glance, it might appear that the show has no chance of returning for a second season. Wayne was hit hard by the streaming wars when YouTube reduced its investment in original programming just a few months after it first aired, despite being a fan favourite. The show quickly gained popularity, with tens of millions of views on YouTube and widespread critical acclaim. The show, created by Shawn Simmons, followed teenage Mark McKenna as he drove across the country from Brockton, Massachusetts to Florida in search of his late father’s stolen Pontiac Trans-Am. Although YouTube Premium’s attempt to produce original content to rival services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu ultimately failed, the service did produce some successful shows, such as the martial arts comedy Cobra Kai (which was later picked up by Netflix) and the dark, action-comedy series Wayne (about a teenage vigilante).
