‘The Bondsman’ Canceled By Prime Video After One Season

May 16, 2025

Prime Video has opted not to proceed with a second season of its supernatural action drama The Bondsman starring Kevin Bacon.

The news comes more than a month after all eight half-hour episodes of the series, from showrunner Erik Oleson and Blumhouse Television, dropped on April 3 after a premiere at SXSW. In a promising sign, The Bondsman made the Nielsen Top 10 streaming rankings in its premiere week, coming in at #9 on the Originals chart with 563 million minutes of viewing.

By its second week, The Bondsman had dropped off the Nielsen ranks. It has remained on Prime Video’s platform Top 10 list, currently at #5 in the U.S. It also has scored high with critics and viewers, averaging 83% on Rotten Tomatoes but has failed to generate buzz on social media.

In The Bondsman, murdered bounty hunter Hub Halloran (Bacon) is resurrected by the Devil to trap and send back demons that have escaped from the prison of Hell. By chasing down those demons with the help and hinderance of his estranged family, Hub learns how his own sins got his soul condemned — which pushes him to seek a second chance at life, love, and country music.
