Prime Video's Carnival Row will conclude with its second season, which will arrive on the streaming platform on February 17, 2023.
The first season of the fantasy-drama show premiered back in August 2019, and prior to its release, the series was already renewed for a second season.
Netizens were clearly dejected, with several of them wondering why they waited four years for a concluding season.
The series, which stars actor Orlando Bloom in the lead role, focuses on the tension between humans and a large group of mythological creatures in a fantasy world.

The show is set in a fantasy world that witnesses a huge conflict between human beings and a group of increasing mythological creatures. The official synopsis of the show, according to Amazon Prime Video, reads as:
''Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne star in Carnival Row, a Victorian fantasy world filled with mythological immigrant creatures. Feared by humans, they are forbidden to live, love, or fly with freedom. But even in darkness, hope lives, as a human detective and a faerie rekindle a dangerous affair. The city’s uneasy peace collapses when a string of murders reveals a monster no one could imagine.''
