Amazon doesn’t see a future for As We See It.
The retail giant/streamer has opted to cancel the coming-of-age comedy about three 20-something roommates on the autism spectrum after one season. Reps for Amazon declined to comment on the decision.
The series hailed from Friday Night Lights and Parenthood creator Jason Katims and explored a subject that’s close to his heart as his son — who also inspired a character on Parenthood — is autistic. Rick Glassman, Sue Ann Pien and Albert Rutecki, who are all on the spectrum, starred as the three central roommates, while Sosie Bacon played their aide. Joe Mantegna also starred.
Katims, who penned the pilot, served as showrunner and exec produced alongside his True Jack topper Jeni Mulein and Dana Stern. The half-hour comedic drama was based on the Israeli format On the Spectrum, created by Dana Idisis and Yuval Shafferman.
