Do you remember Carnival Row, that Prime Video show that, to the best of your recollection, was like a gritty fairy procedural or something, and you’re pretty sure it starred Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne? Probably you don’t, considering the first season was released close to four years ago. Well, it’s back! Yay?
You can blame the pandemic—and Orlando Bloom’s baby—for the long wait between seasons, but in the interim, the show became something like a perfect symbol for the evolution of streaming TV. It started off with a great elevator pitch (magical beings stand in for refugees in a dystopian world
), an accomplished creative team (former Star Trek scribe René Echevarria and Travis Beacham, the once-hot screenwriter of Pacific Rim), and an unusually famous-for-TV cast (the star of Elizabethtown!
). It received a season two pickup before the first season was even released. And when season one dropped in August 2019 it...got middlings reviews and
no real
buzz.
Never one to walk away from sunk costs, Amazon proceeded with the second, pandemic-delayed season, which they announced last year would end the series, prompting viewers everywhere to be reminded of the show’s existence and mourn its passing in the span of the same Hollywood Reporter article.
If the fate of recent, quickly-
canceled Prime series like Paper Girls and Night Sky can tells us anything, Carnival Row’s second season wouldn’t have happened if the show had premiered last year. But 2019 was a different time—the pandemic, inflation, cratering stock market, tech bust, and streaming landscape implosion still far in the future—a time when it still made sense to believe in fairies.
Here’s everything coming to Prime Video—including the second season of the comedy Harlem, arriving Feb. 3—and Amazon-owned, ad-supported Freevee in February 2023.
