Last night, Netflix announced that Jupiter's Legacy will not be returning for a second season, with the cast, led by Josh Duhamel, Leslie Bibb and Ben Daniels, released from their commitments and free to pursue other projects.

Though writer/EP Mark Millar maintains that the door is open for the show to return down the line, he has now turned his attention to a live-action Supercrooks series which will be set in the same universe. While this would potentially allow for characters from Season 1 of Jupiter's Legacy to appear, it's yet to be confirmed if that's the plan.

Now, several cast members have taken to social media to share their reactions to the show's cancellation.

“I’m gutted,” said a clearly disappointed Andrew Horton (Brandon Sampson). “Jupiter’s Legacy was a once in a lifetime experience, and one I will never forget. I’m sad and sorry that we don’t get to continue this journey. I feel as though we had barely scratched the surface with this one, but as the inimitable Jim Carey once said. “That’s the way the cookie crumbles.'”

“I stand with my brothers in arms,” Leslie Bibb (Grace Sampson) posted to her Instagram. “This union is something i believe in and i will miss wholeheartedly. [I] love you friends.” Finally, Matt Lanter (George Hutchence) thanked the "incredible cast, crew and creatives behind #JupitersLegacy. What an experience you all made this... It’s not every day that a kid like me gets to be a superhero."

How do you guys feel about Jupiter's Legacy being cancelled? Would you like to see the story continue at some point?

I thought season 1 was decent overall. Nothing special, but definitely interesting enough that I'd want to see it continue.

Pretty disappointing given the period piece stuff was actually pretty solid. Probably would've been better if they just kept the first season focused on the past instead of constantly switching back and forth between time periods.

Some shows don’t hit it out of the park the first season, this got better as it went on. Could have been many times better by a season 2. After spending all that money on Miller world, then more time and money making this show, it would only seem logical that cutting it now, instead of turning it around into a profit maker, only emphasizes what a financial loss it’ll end up being.

That and everyone’s killings themselves trying to establish universes that can grow and cross over and although I full grasp that Supercrooks is in the same Universe, it just seems kinda backwards to end this show when the entire first season was a build up, that laid the groundwork and backstory for a stronger narrative moving forward.

@Grogu - the stuff in the 30s and hutch and his friends committing crimes (or hutch in general) were the best part of the series, the rest was kinda meh but after that cliffhanger it could have picked up from there. Kinda sad how we'll never know.

Damn shame, would've liked a season 2.

Too bad, the first season was slow and served mostly as setup and worldbuilding while the most interesting stuff was in the 30s, but a second season could have been way faster thanks to all that being out of the way, plus that cliffhanger... It's a shame, I for one was expecting something way worse and was pleasantly surprised.

Sorry, but when the show’s biggest draw is “that guy from Transformers who isn’t Shia Labeouf or Mark Wahlberg”, don’t expect success. $200,000,000. Oof.

I think the problem with most of the new Superhero shows is that they are not bringing anything new to the table. The Boys has secured the Gorey, comedic, thriller market for live action shows while Invincible has proven there is a market for Gorey bloodbaths of animated shows. Marvel has a hold on the shared universe market and companies like Sony, Warner Brothers, Netflix, and even Apple are trying their hardest to compete or create something that sticks.

I wish we could have seen more of them as super heroes in the 1920s. That was the most interesting part of the series. The modern parts were meh.

I think timing didnt help the series, we literally just had influx of comicbook/ suoerhero content in the past 6 months, Wandavision, FATWS, Snydercut/JL, Invincible, maybe people were just a little burned out, then comes this netflix series that is not that well known and the mixed reviews didn't help. thats just my guess.

Sucks for cast, crew, and fans. For me it just didn't click, like with The Boys or Invincible. I'm just glad The Umbrella Academy is being continued.

What really irks me are original shows with a significantly smaller budget getting axed. Netflix can spend potentially hundreds of millions to throw a somewhat cheap looking superhero show into a pretty saturated market, but I can't get a second season of I Am Not Okay With This or Teenage Bounty Hunters?

@Kyos - Is "I Am Not Okay With" a good show? does this show end with a open ending or not?
Kyos
Kyos - 6/3/2021, 12:53 PM
@WaffeX - I liked it a lot. It has someone with special powers, ala Stranger Things or Carrie. It's also a nice queer coming-of-age story. Sadly it ends on a major cliffhanger... 😐

Should give us what we really want, spin offs from Love Dead + Robots.

The cast wasn't the biggest problem, so yeah it does suck. Show really fell apart in the writing department.

I'm kinda hoping it gets picked up again with a decent writing team, because the mythology does have a lot of potential.

I can't believe they spent $200M on a show starring Josh Duhamel and Leslie Bibb.
Where did the money go?

I'm enjoying it, and hoping for a 3rd season.

I’m kinda bummed about this actually.I know there is was a lot of disdain on here for it even though I thought it was pretty interesting.Definitely seemed like we were just getting started on something good.should’ve not taken a whole season to set it up but that’s the route they took it’s just sad we won’t get to see the vision completed
