‘Beyond’ Canceled By Freeform After 2 Seasons

EXCLUSIVE: Freeform has opted not to renew sci-fi drama series Beyond for a third season.  The decision comes a week after Beyond’s Season 2 finale.

Beyond starred Burkeley Duffield as Holden, a young man who wakes up from a coma after 12 years and discovers new abilities that propel him into the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. Now Holden must try and figure out what happened to him during those 12 years; how to survive a world that changed while he was gone; and answer the question, why did this happen to him? Romy Rosemont, Michael McGrady, Jonathan Whitesell, Dilan Gwyn and Jeff Pierre also starred.

The recently concluded second season of Beyond saw ratings fall about 50% from Season 1.

Beyond was created, written and executive produced by Adam Nussdorf (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland). Tim Kring (Heroes), David Eick (Battlestar Galactica), Steven Adelson, Zak Kadison, Justin Levy and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones served as executive producers.

Beyond‘s cancellation comes as Freeform debuts its newest drama series, the mermaid-themed Siren, tonight. The network’s genre portfolio also include Shadowhunters and the upcoming Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger.
