Chris Carter has opened up on Amazon’s decision to cancel The After before it even debuted. Speaking to THR, the creator put the mystery thriller’s early demise down to creative differences:
I think there was just a difference of opinion about direction of the show. It was a hard sell from the beginning. It was eight characters in hell and I really didn’t do a bible for the show because I wanted to discover what that was about. It was a hard sell and it would have been an investment for them, if they were going to do eight episodes, of $40 million. I can understand their reluctance and I still think I had eight, great episodes.”
Amazon previously offered an explanation for scrapping The After here, suggesting it might one day escape the cancellation graveyard.
