Amazon Cancels 3 Series, Including The Horror of Dolores Roach
Dolores Roach’s killing spree has come to an end. The Horror of Dolores Roach, starring Justina Machado, has been cancelled after just one season at Prime Video, TVLine has learned. Additionally, With Love and Harlan Coben’s Shelter will not return for more seasons at the streamer.
Dolores Roach, based on the Spotify podcast of the same name, was a contemporary Sweeney Todd-inspired tale that takes place in New York City’s Washington Heights. The show followed Dolores (Machado) as she gets out of prison and returns to her old neighborhood that has been gentrified in her absence. She reunites with an old stoner friend, Luis (Alejandro Hernandez), who runs an empanada shop, and she accidentally becomes a serial killer in an effort to finally take charge of her own life, with Luis covering up each kill by using the bodies as empanada filling.
With Love debuted in 2021 and ran for two seasons, following siblings Lily (Emeraude Toubia) and Jorge (Mark Indelicato) as they try to find love and purpose while being a part of a tight-knit family. The supporting cast included Isis King, Vincent Rodriguez III and Andre Royo, with One Day at a Time veteran Gloria Calderón Kellett serving as series creator.
Harlan Coben’s Shelter was based on the YA mystery novel by author Harlan Coben and centered on a teen named Mickey (Jaden Michael) who moves to a new town and gets involved in the unsolved disappearance of a fellow student. Constance Zimmer and Kristoffer Polaha led the show’s supporting cast; its first (and now only) season premiered in August.
Disappointed that Dolores’ mission to reclaim her story has come to an abrupt end? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
I really wanted “With Love” to be renewed for a third season. I’ll cross my fingers that it will get picked up elsewhere, but won’t get my hopes up.
It was such a cute show and definitely had more story to tell. Between this and Glamorous on Netflix, it’s not been a good week for LGBTQ-friendly series :(
Great just finished shelter and was looking forward to the 2nd series. I’m done with these networks and new series I’m only going to watch ongoing series cause it’s pointless
I’m with you, Mark. I have really enjoyed it.
Oh crap. Wrong comment. Lol. Sorry Mark.
I really enjoyed Harlan Coben’s Shelter but I thought that it was just a mini-series and didn’t expect another season. None of his other novels that has been on Netflix has been more than 1 season.
The Netflix ones have all been based on his standalone novels so far but apparently his deal with them was expanded in 2022 to include Myron Bolitar…
Never count on Netflix to run more than one season of ANYTHING.
I didn’t want any of those. I had intended to watch Harlan Coben’s Shelter, but then changed my mind. I hate it for the fans who liked them. Still hoping out hope that Amazon doesn’t reverse the Season 2 renewal of The Rig.

What about “Making the cut”
Hopefully another streaming service will pick up ‘Shelter’. It’d be nice to have the other 2 books in series format as well . 💁♀️
I thought Shelter was great! But it was strange that the series based on it also had most of the sub-plots from the other 2 books. It seemed like they intended it to be just one season.
Darn, I really liked Dolores Roach.
Such a shame. So many ways to keep it going. Raging
Shelter was awesome! Sorry to see it end Amazon you should rethink that decision.
All I want is a Myron Bolitar series. That show would be a lot of fun. Myron, Win, and Emperanza are a lot of fun.
I believe that Netflix has the rights to the Myron Bolitar books. Main reason he wasn’t in the Mickey Bolitar series.
Dolores Roach was such a great show. I was looking forward to season 2.
I’m legitimately upset about all three of these. Also find it funny that they killed the 3 shows that were heavily POC focused.
Never watched but I’m sorry to hear about anyone losing their job.
I’m sad that Latino shows were cut. With Love I actually binged when I saw it. It’s sad they won’t see a third season.
I loved the Horror of Dolores Roach! Serial killer with a touch of humor
I was so excited to read that Amazon were making a Harlan Coben serious, assuming it would of course be based on his best known series Myron Bolitar, what a massive disappointment it wasn’t! But I just googled and there is a series in production with Netflix? Anyone know anything about that?
Netflix has produced seven Coben books into miniseries so far. I believe the latest will be ‘Fool Me Once’.
Yes I know there’s been standalone books adapted, I think I’ve watched them all now, I was talking specifically about a Myron Bolitar series on Netflix.
These streamers are canceling so much crap they aren’t going to have anything left. I fail to see the business plan here. Will miss Shelter.
I got a kick out of Deloris. And liked Shelter. To bad
Dolores Roach, despite its premise, was a fun, dark comedy and a credit to Justina Machado’s talents. Sorry to see this go. It was also a nice look into gentrification in New York City. Something not often seen.
I loved Dolores Roach & Harlan Coben’s Shelter, this is a bummer they were both stellar series. I wanted to see where Dolores went from there.
Shelter started out as a good series with great characters and a lot of potential, but it suffered from one major plot problem. Why did no one contact or involve the police and FBI in the trafficking ring? It made no sense. At the end, Mickey has a tearful good bye with his girlfriend Ashley because her life is in danger and the Abeona group has to supposedly has to give her a new identity? Say what? No, when a crime like this occurs against someone you call the FBI and you go after the bad guys. Mickey and Ashley should have remained together, under police or FBI protection. The complete absence of law enforcement involvement in such a major crime was never explained and is the big flaw of the series.
Any chance of Season 2 (7?) of The Kids in the Hall?
Dolores was fun and weird, and With Love was adorable. A shame on both counts, and Shelter was alright too
I didn’t know any of these shows existed.
Why cancel a good show like Dolores Roach. Bad move
