Outer Range is a very interesting and successful series that has a fusion of science fiction and neo-western elements. Brian Watkins created this series and it revolves around a rancher named Royal Abbott who sees a void appearing mysteriously near his house. Amid this, he is also dealing with issues related to his land as well as his family.
The series started in 2022 and became a success; a second season aired in May 2024. Since then, people who have loved the show want to know if Outer Range Season 3 is happening or not.
How Did Outer Range Season 2 End?
The final episode of Outer Range Season 2 was called The End of Innocence and it was a directorial work of Catriona McKenzie while Jenna Westover and Cameron Litvack.
The episode, along with the entire second season, was released on May 16th, 2024 on Amazon Prime Video. We see Royal and Cecilia are looking for Amy and Rebecca. Later, Wayne is consumed by the massive flames and the scene comes as a shocker for viewers.
This happens after he burns his own house. Perry goes into the hole in the past timeline and it results in his younger self dying. Later, a fight between Joy, Luke, and Autumn takes place and it ends with Autumn falling into the hole after getting shot.
We see Perry and Amy together in the past time. Royal goes to a hospital where Ceci welcomes him. But it was all a dream and he saw Autumn in front of him.
Is Outer Range Season 3 Happening?
In July, 2024, Amazon Prime Video announced that they have canceled the show which means Outer Range Season 3 will not happen. Given that the show has received positive response from audiences and critics, it came as a surprise.
Earlier, Josh Brolin, who is also an executive producer of the show, hinted about Outer Range Season 3. Charles Murray had also revealed that Josh has an idea for a third season on which they have been working. This is why the news of cancellation is even harder to believe.
What To Expect From It?
Outer Range Season 3, if it had happened, would pick from where the earlier season ended. We would see what Autumn meant by their last words to Royal. The third season would have continued to showcase multiple timelines set in different periods.
We might also see another hole appearing in Wyoming while Royal’s struggle will continue. The confusion surrounding all the timelines and their events would have continued in the next season as well. But the story has ended since the show has been axed.
