PITTSBURGH — Yet another Pittsburgh-filmed television show won’t be getting a second chance to build an audience.
Netflix has opted not to go forward with a second season of “Archive 81,” according to a Thursday report from Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva. The show was based on the found-footage horror podcast of the same name and starred Mamoudou Athie and Dina Shihabi as two unlikely allies caught up in a decades-spanning mystery. Its entire first season has been available on Netflix since January.
This decision comes as somewhat of a surprise since it seemed like “Archive 81” had found an audience on the streaming service. Andreeva noted that the show cracked the weekly top 10 ratings and was briefly No. 1 on Netflix in the United States.
