Will ‘Motorheads’ Return for Season 2? What We Know So Far

Motorheads raced into fans’ hearts with its “Fast & Furious meets coming-of-age” premise, as star Michael Cimino put it. Season 1 set up a promising mystery, tense conflicts, and burgeoning romances between its characters, who live in a small Rust Belt town obsessed with cars. But after its premiere in May 2025, has Prime Video told the Motorheads crew to start their engines again?

Shortly after the show’s debut, creator John A. Norris updated fans on X. He confirmed that the entirety of Season 2 had already been written up, which was exciting news after Season 1’s finale left so many questions unanswered. Did Harris (Josh Macqueen) die after his car flipped during his race with Zac (Cimino)? Will Zac and Caitlyn’s (Melissa Collazo) father come back after he disappeared before their birth?

Read on for everything we know about the teen drama’s renewal status, cast, premiere date, and more.

Has Motorheads been renewed for Season 2?

Prime Video dropped Season 1 in full on May 20, but the streamer hasn’t greenlit Season 2 just yet.

Who is in the Motorheads Season 2 cast?

Since there has been no renewal announcement yet, the full cast list isn’t available either. It’s expected that the actors who play the main four friends — Cimino, Collazo, Uriah Shelton, and Nicolas Cantu — will come back. Ryan Phillippe and Nathalie Kelley (aka Logan Maddox and Sam Torres) would likely return, too.

What has the Prime Video team said about Motorheads Season 2?

Season 2 hopes aren’t entirely lost. On July 28, Amazon MGM Studios’ Head of TV, Vernon Sanders, discussed the future of Motorheads, along with We Were Liars and Overcompensating. The company, he said, was “excited” by what they saw in terms of Motorheads‘ results.

“Each show has a really passionate fanbase, and we’ve been really pleased by the completion rates of Motorheads and Overcompensating — so we’re going to be in conversations with all three,” he told Variety. “All three shows are working on Season 2 writers rooms, and we’ll hope to have renewal announcements soon on some, if not all, of those shows.”

Further, Norris and producer Jason Seagraves said they have an interest in expanding the universe beyond Season 2, according to Us Weekly. “We absolutely want to do a Motorheads prequel,” Norris said. “I already know what I would call it.”

“We want Motorheads: Germany,” Seagraves added. “We want Motorheads everything.”

What will happen in Motorheads Season 2?

The creative team hasn’t divulged the plot details of a potential Season 2, but Cimino teased that it’ll be a “complete dynamic shift.”

“It’s going to flip the whole narrative on its head,” the actor told Us Weekly. “Now Zac is technically the head honcho in town. There’s going to be a dynamic shift regardless of what happens with Zac and how he approaches it. Whether he internalizes it or if he actually is dealing with it is the big question mark.”
