Crime and thriller are some of the favorite genres of today’s audience. One of the most thrilling television series by Fox Broadcasting Company is Prodigal Son. The American drama created by Chris Fedak and Sam Sklaver was premiered back on September 29, 2019, and wrapped up on May 18, 2019. After the first season was a blockbuster, the broadcasting company decided to renew another season in 2020, which was released on January 12, 2021. But after two seasons, the show was canceled for a third season in May 2021.

Netflix has never shown Prodigal Son, and even outside the United States, Netflix still hasn’t made it to. So, let us find out if in the future Netflix will be back with Prodigal Son Season 3 or spin-off.

Elisa Decarlo, an author, even set up the website in order to save the show. Elisa Decarlo claims, “Prodigal Son resonates with fans, particularly the focus on the main character, Malcolm Bright, who visibly manages mental illness in a non-stigmatizing way. With a lead character who suffers from C-PTSD and anxiety disorder, and a supporting cast that features a majority of actors of color including two Asian actors, the timing of the cancellation itself raises eyebrows as it occurred during Mental Health Awareness month and AAPI history month. Fox even continued to promote the POC on “Prodigal Son” in its marketing while simultaneously canceling the show. Fox has even been running ads for the show in recent weeks!”
