Cast
Nolan and Joy’s first project from their lucrative deal with Amazon Studios is The Peripheral, a sci-fi drama featuring Chloe Grace Moretz as Flynne Fisher who finds her fate taken in an unexpected direction in the season finale when she escapes into another timeline – this opens up endless opportunities for future seasons that explore these parallel universes.
The show premiered on October 21, 2022, to positive reviews from both audiences and critics alike, though its second season remains undecided at this point. Based on William Gibson’s 2014 novel of the same name and created by Scott B. Smith; executive producers include Athena Wickham, Steven Hoban, Vincenzo Natali, Lisa Joy, and Jonathan Nolan – this drama series may even return for another season!
The ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes have severely disrupted production schedules for shows in development when the strike started, forcing many new releases to be delayed or even cancelled entirely; The Peripheral is no exception; unfortunately, its network has yet to make an official statement regarding a possible second season release; fans must continue waiting and seeing what transpires before making any definitive plans about returning for more adventures in its world.
Plot
The Peripheral is an astounding science-fiction drama that has mesmerized viewers with its intricate narrative and mind-boggling ideas. Based on William Gibson’s 2014 novel of the same name, Chloe Grace Moretz stars as Flynne Fisher – an individual who discovers connections to an alternate reality. Since it premiered on Amazon Prime on October 21, 2022, The Peripheral has become one of the most-watched shows.
Production for Season Two was scheduled to start up again in May but was interrupted due to writers and actors striking against CBS Television Studios, becoming the first show that ever had its preproduction order cancelled due to this strike. According to THR, THR projects that this strike will last at least until the end of July.
Although The Peripheral’s producers had high hopes of producing a second season due to an ongoing strike, production had to stop due to protecting cast and crew rights. Sources state that production stopped because of this decision.
Scott Smith wrote and produced this series, adapting William Gibson’s 2014 novel of the same name into an Amazon original series that stars Moretz as well as being executive produced by Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy – making this Amazon’s inaugural original series developed through their partnership.
Release Date
Fans were eagerly awaiting The Peripheral to return for its second season, yet after being renewed earlier this year by Amazon Prime it was abruptly cancelled; reports indicate this decision was heavily influenced by an ongoing actors and writers strike; even if production resumes soon it could still take at least another year for release of the show.
The Peripheral is a groundbreaking sci-fi drama released last fall on Prime Video, inspired by William Gibson’s 2014 novel of the same name and featuring Chloe Grace Moretz as Flynne Fisher – an expert VR gamer who finds herself embroiled in a futuristic time travel conspiracy.
Though its cancellation was ultimately disappointing, The Peripheral left an impressionful first season on audiences. Both critics and viewers alike applauded its debut season; its conclusion left viewers wondering whether Flynne survived, Burton reconciled with Cherise or Wilf was dead or alive.
Now, there has been no official word of season 2. However, Moretz recently posted an Instagram photo saying the show’s six months of filming had just wrapped and thanked its cast and crew for making the series “something really special”. We should expect more updates about any possible sequel in the near future.

After an excellent first season, The Peripheral is back for more! Even with its complex sci-fi premise, audiences were gripped from start to finish by this series that took inspiration from William Gibson’s 2014 novel of the same name and is set in a futuristic society where cutting-edge innovations have become part of daily life.
Chloe Grace Moretz stars as Flynne Fisher, an ambitious young woman struggling to support her family in an obscure corner of the future. Smart and ambitious, Flynne believes herself doomed for a life of hardship until VR technology offers her hope for change. In The Peripheral viewers are taken on an engaging and educational adventure into parallel dimensions – taking viewers on an intriguing and immersive experience!
Conclusion
Vernon Sanders, Amazon Studios head of television, confirmed plans by Amazon Studios to order a second season of The Peripheral. However, the production date or the total episode count is currently unknown. Scott B. Smith created and executive produced The Peripheral with additional writers/directors including Vincenzo Natali, Athena Wickham, Nolan, and Joy being credited as writers/directors on board for further production.
Due to the ongoing writer’s strike, production schedules for many shows have been compromised and many pickup reversals and cancellations have taken place since previous renewals were given. The season will likely debut by 2025 at least.
