"AMC is getting out of the reality show business and is cancelling several shows. Other than The Walking Dead aftershow Talking Dead and Kevin Smith’s Comic Book Men, the cable channel has decided to focus solely on scripted series" - including Freakshow.

“Scripted originals are at the core of the AMC brand. Iconic shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead have driven AMC’s evolution into a must-have television network,” an AMC spokesman said in a statement. “We are proud of our efforts in unscripted programming and the unique worlds we have been able to introduce, but in an environment of exploding content options for viewers, we have decided to make scripted programming our priority.”

Yeah it's sad it got cancelled. It was a very interesting show to watch, especially for me as a person with a very rare disability. It made me think a lot about my own identity as a person.

As a kid people would call me freak just to hurt my feelings. It worked. The word meant Monster or Subhuman to me.

Quite a putdown.

Netflix could revive this.

Indeed, Netflix SHOULD definitely revive Freakshow.
