A Brave New World Season 2: Peacock Cancels the Sci-Fi Series

The sci-fi series Brave New World has been cancelled by Peacock, leaving fans disappointed and wondering what could have been. The show, which premiered in July as part of Peacock's national launch, has been met with mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.

According to reports, reps for UCP and Peacock released a statement on Wednesday confirming the cancellation of Brave New World season 2. Despite its initial promise, the show failed to gain traction with viewers, resulting in its early demise.

The series, which was developed by David Wiener (Homecoming) and Grant Morrison, took place in a utopian society where monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself have been prohibited. The show's unique premise and cinematography were praised by some critics, but ultimately failed to impress the majority of viewers.

Brave New World has a 45 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with many critics panning the show for its lackluster storytelling and poor character development. However, audiences had a more favorable view of the series, with 81 percent of viewers enjoying it according to the aggregation site.

The cancellation of Brave New World is just one of several setbacks Peacock has faced since its launch. The streaming service was severely impacted by the pandemic, causing delays in the release of several scripted originals, including the Tokyo Olympics which was originally set to be streamed on the platform.

Despite this setback, Peacock remains committed to telling more stories with David Wiener in the future. 'We're grateful to the cast and crew who brought this world to life,' said a spokesperson for UCP and Peacock.

The news of Brave New World's cancellation comes as Peacock is gearing up to launch several new shows, including updates to Saved By the Bell and Punky Brewster, as well as Dr. The streaming service has a lot riding on these new series, and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to turn things around.

For now, fans of Brave New World will have to say goodbye to its dystopian world and characters. While the cancellation is disappointing, it's clear that Peacock is committed to pushing forward with new and innovative storytelling.
