After a long mid-season break, the third season on Into The Badlands is finally hitting the screens. Fans had been waiting for the second half of Season 3. The announcement of its release showered the fans with excitement. However, on the other hand, the cancellation of Into The Badlands Season 4 comes as a mere shock.
The show debuted back in 2015 on the popular Television network AMC. The action drama series was not taken well by the critics. Although, it gathered a large number of fan following. It is set in a 500 years old mystical world. Moreover, it’s about a dramatic and mysterious territory named the Badlands.
The first eight episodes of the third season were aired back in June 2018. After eight long months, the show is finally ready to release the second half of Season 3. There are eight more episodes left to premiere. Sadly, the sixteenth episode will be the series finale episode.
Into The Badlands Season 4: Cancellation
AMC recently declared the cancellation of Into The Badlands Season 4. On the Television Critics Association winter press tour, AMC officially makes Season 3 the finale season of the martial arts drama.
AMC is yet to reveal the reason behind the same. However, according to speculations, the reason may be the decrease in the viewership of the show. The first season of the show received immense love from fans, hence, high viewership. The second season managed to get half the viewers from Season 1. On the contrary, Season 3 fails miserably.
Hence, the loss of viewer count may be one of the reasons for the cancellation.
