Chris Carter series rejected by Amazon

Chris Carter’s comeback has been delayed.

Amazon Studios has passed on the “X-Files” creator’s new series “The After”, which follows eight strangers who are thrown together by mysterious forces and must help each other survive in a violent world that defies explanation. Jamie Kennedy, Arielle Kebbel, and Adrian Pasdar were amongst the cast.

“The After” is the first series Amazon – whose original programming currently includes such series as “Alpha House” and “Transparent” – has passed on, suggesting it just wasn’t up-to-scratch at all.

“We have decided to not move forward with The After,” Amazon Studios VP Roy Price said in a statement released to Deadline. “We would like to thank Chris Carter, the phenomenal cast, crew and producers for all their efforts.”

It’s not all bad news, ”X-Files” fans : Former EP Frank Spotnitz has a series set-up at Amazon titled “The Man In the High Castle” which, as far as we know, is still going ahead.
