You may have seen the series Motorheads floating around Amazon Prime Video’s top ten list the last few weeks, and even if it rarely, if ever, hit the top spot, it’s been a successful series both critically and among audiences. Now, we have at least some amount of information about the status of season 2.

Motorheads doesn’t have many reviews in to land its 75% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it has a very promising 92% audience score, indicating fans liked what they saw, and that may be a sign they watched the 10-episode series all the way through.

So, season 2? The last update we have is promising on one hand, somewhat perilous on the other. Motorheads creator John A. Norris told a fan what was happening on Twitter:

User: “New fan, keep the show going please lol don’t just one season us…love brother”

John A. Norris: “Thanks! Fingers crossed. Season two is written.”

Past that, Norris also talked about a potential story development that will happen in the second season:

“If we’re fortunate enough to get a season two (fingers crossed), Caitlyn actually takes her driver’s license test in the second episode (already written). Hopefully, by then, Melissa will have hers.”

Other cast members have talked about how the show ends on a somewhat maddening cliffhanger, especially if it does not return. Here’s star Michael Cimino:

“I think we ended the show on just a big moment, and it was awesome to see in person, too. It was really crazy. It does leave a lot of question marks. I’m very excited to see how [John A. Norris]
brings it back to life in Season 2. It leaves us on a huge cliffhanger as far as why Zac did everything that he did.”

And star Melissa Collazo:

“I would love to see that. Hopefully, we get to go for Season 2. I think that would be sort of the natural next step. I don’t know how Zach would take it. He might feel like I’m getting into his lane a little. There’s a little bit of like, ‘Stay in your lane and I’ll stay in mine,’ is something she says to him a couple of times in the season, so it would be kind of funny if she starts driving. I would love that for her. I think it’d be really cool.”

And we know she does, in fact, start driving, according to the showrunner who has already written that episode.

It’s not unusual for cast members to express interest in returning for a second season. I mean, obviously. What is unusual is to have an entire second season written before renewal by a streaming service, as that’s a fairly big risk if you do not already have a deal in place. But I suppose that’s how passionate Norris is about the project.

The problem is that these updates are from May, and there have not been that many new developments since then, and things are all quiet on Amazon’s end. It’s not late enough to start worrying, as these things can take time, a month, or even multiple months, but I’m feeling pretty positive about things given its performance, reception and the fact that it could start filming right away with a script already in place.
