Prime Video canceled The Bondsman just weeks after its Season 1 premiere, and now the series’ star has spoken.
Kevin Bacon played Hub Halloran in the eight-episode horror series about a resurrected bounty hunter who is sent out to catch and return demons to hell.
Things looked promising for the show initially, as it scored 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes before dropping down to a still-respectable 83 percent. The Bondsman also landed in the Nielsen Top 10 streaming rankings in its first week at number 9 before dropping off and is still listed among the top television shows on Prime Video.
But that wasn’t enough to save The Bondsman, the latest series to be axed by the streamer following cancellations of On Call, Cruel Intentions, and Clean Slate over the last couple of months.
After The Bondsman’s cancellation started making headlines, Bacon took to Instagram, where he is very active, to discuss the show’s end.

“Hey folks. Really bummed out that The Bondsman is not coming back for a second season,” Bacon told fans in the video. “I really loved walking in Hub Halloran’s shoes, making that show with so many great, talented people, making that music. And I wish I had an explanation for you, but i honestly don’t.”
He went on to thank those who tuned in for the supernatural series for taking the time to watch and reach out to him with their reactions to the show.
