“The Peripheral” has been canceled at Amazon’s Prime Video, Variety has learned. The news comes despite the fact that Amazon renewed the show for a second season back in February.…
Not too surprising given the writers and actors strikes. Still, that sucks.
They left lots of the world elements there, and Flynn's backstory is very similar. They did change much of what she is tasked with doing when using the peripheral and the world 'setting' that occurs in. Definitely not as bleak. Still liked it though.
The book is good too. By the cyberpunk author William Gibson. There's a sequel too, called Agency, but it takes place in a different stem. But has a lot of the same people from this one.
