Back in April, Netflix premiered the Uma Thurman and Tony Goldwyn-starring “Chambers,” a psychological horror series from creator Leah Rachel that centered on a young heart attack survivor who becomes consumed by the mystery surrounding the heart that saved her life. But the closer she gets to uncovering the truth about her donor’s sudden death, the more she starts taking on the characteristics of the deceased — some of which are troublingly sinister.
After just one season, we’ve learned today, “Chambers” has been cancelled.
“Chambers will not return for a second season,” Netflix said in a statement. “We’re grateful to creator and showrunner Leah Rachel for bringing this story to us and to her fellow executive producers Alfonso Gomez Rejon, Steve Gaghan from Super Emotional, Winnie Kemp and Wolfgang Hammer from Super Deluxe, and Jennifer Yale. We’re also thankful to the tireless crew, and to our incredible cast, especially Uma Thurman, Tony Goldwyn and talented newcomer Sivan Alyra Rose.”
Netflix has of course become known for abandoning many of their original shows, but rarely this early in the game. The viewership, it would seem, just wasn’t there for this one. With so many original movies and shows hitting the streaming service every single week, it’s only natural that many of them are going to slip through the cracks like “Chambers” now has.
