It's almost time to say our final goodbyes to the year 2020. The year 2020 will go down in history for bringing humanity closer than before as we all suffered heavy losses due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. During the multiple lockdowns, what got us through was several TV shows streaming on OTT platforms.
There were a lot of shows that were supposed to air in 2020, like The Witcher season 2, a new season of Stranger Things, and others. But with production delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, production houses faced several unprecedented problems while making this annual decision of what to bring back in 2021.
As we march towards the new year 2021, with the hope that this would be a better year than before, let's have a look at all the TV shows that got renewed or cancelled by the studios.
His Dark Materials:
HBO has officially renewed His Dark Materials for a third and final season. The fantasy drama is based on Philip Pullman's acclaimed novel and follows the coming of age of two children, Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry, as they wander through a series of parallel universes. After the tremendous response from the first two seasons, HBO and BBC One officially announced that they are renewing the story for one more season.
The Flight Attendant:
The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco stars as Cassie Bowden in HBO Max's The Flight Attendant. The story follows Cassie, who goes on having reckless adventures with strangers. One such event led her to a hotel room in Bangkok where she wakes up next to a dead body. The first season of The Flight Attendant is well received and HBO Max announced that they have renewed it for a second season.
Servant:
Servant is an American psychological horror TV show where we see the lives of a young Philadelphia couple who hire a servant to be the nanny for their baby son, Jericho - who in reality is a reborn doll. Ahead of its season two premiere, M. Night Shyamalan announced that Apple TV has renewed the show for a third season.
