RIP ‘The Bondsman’: Kevin Bacon’s Demon Rodeo Ends After One Wild Season

Buy Me A Coffee

Well, slap a cowboy hat on a Ouija board and call it a day — The Bondsman, Kevin Bacon’s yeehaw-meets-hellfire action-horror show, has officially been canceled after just one season on Prime Video. 😵‍💫

Announced on Friday (aka “No New Season Friday” for sad fans), Prime Video gave the ol’ thumbs down to a Season 2. That’s right — no more demon-chasing, soul-searching, or supernatural square-dancing for you.

If you missed the first season (aka the only season), here’s the spicy rundown: Kevin Bacon played a bounty hunter who dies (rude), gets resurrected by Satan himself (casual), and is sent back to Earth to hunt down escaped demons from Hell’s prison (yes, apparently Hell has a prison system — who knew?!). Along the way, he’s dealing with his estranged family, his spicy backstory of personal sins, and, most importantly… a burning desire to become a country music star. (Because why just fight demons when you can also drop a twangy debut album?)

Think Ghost Rider meets Walker, Texas Ranger meets a very confused CMA Awards show. And it was glorious.

The series featured not just Kevin “I’ve danced in barns and now I fight Satan” Bacon, but also Jennifer Nettles, Damon Herriman, Beth Grant, Maxwell Jenkins, and Jolene Purdy. It was eight episodes of chaos, cowboy boots, and demonic drama, all released on April 3.

So what happened? Maybe the Devil got too busy. Maybe the demons unionized. Maybe Prime just realized they couldn’t afford to keep paying Kevin Bacon in sacrificial goats and banjos. 🐐🎸

Whatever the case, The Bondsman now joins the heavenly (or hellish?) afterlife of one-season wonders — gone too soon, but definitely not forgotten by those of us who like our horror with a splash of honky-tonk.

Pour one out for Hub Halloran. And maybe crank some country music in his honor.👢🔥
