Outer RangeJosh Brolin's sci-fi Western
Published on April 20, 2026 EDT Prime Video has pulled the plug on the genre-bending series, which premiered in April 2022.

Josh Brolin no longer has the range.

Amazon's Prime Video has canceled Outer Range, the sci-fi neo-Western starring the Oscar-nominated actor, after two seasons, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed.

Premiering in April 2022, Outer Range cast Brolin as Wyoming rancher Royal Abbott, who discovers a mysterious black void in his pasture after the arrival of a female drifter, Autumn, played by Imogen Poots.

Brolin, no stranger to Westerns — having starred in one of the best, 2007's No Country for Old Men — previously told Entertainment Weekly that he decided to try doing a TV show because it scared the bejesus out of him.

"As an actor, that was really interesting to me," he said ahead of the season 2 premiere. "I was just looking at it like, 'Why are you doing TV after 20 years?' Because it frightened me. It's a big swing, and I like that."

But Outer Range was no ordinary Western, having been infused with science-fiction elements that, Brolin admitted, they struggled with in the first season.

"We were really finding our way in season 1," Brolin told EW in May. "It was a great concept and we never really saw it through in a way that I felt totally comfortable with."

In contrast, the man formerly known as Thanos said season 2 was "the ayahuasca trip that you're afraid to take."

But after an ayahuasca trip, where else is there to go but down? According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show had strong ratings, just not strong enough to guarantee a third season.
