The cancelations continue ahead of the holiday weekend.
Amazon has axed a trio of scripted series from its Prime Video service: The Horror of Dolores Roach, Harlan Coben’s Shelter, and With Love are all ending.
The Horror of Dolores Roach and Harlan Coben’s Shelter ran for one season, while With Love is ending after two seasons.
They are the latest cancelations at the streamer over the last few months following shows such as The Peripheral and A League of Their Own, which had both been renewed before those decisions were reversed.

While it’s clear that broadcasters and streamers are canceling a slew of shows coming out of the writers and actors strikes, a drastic reduction of original scripted series has been on the cards for some time as Hollywood continues to cut costs.
It’s also a blow for diverse programming as The Horror of Dolores Roach, based on a one-woman play, Empanada Loca, and podcast series, and Gloria Calderón Kellett’s With Love, were particularly diverse series.
Other series canceled recently include Disney+’s The Muppets Mayhem, Hallmark’s Ride, Netflix’s Shadow and Bone, Glamorous and Agent Elvis, Freeform’s Praise Petey, ABC’s The Rookie: Feds, MGM+’s Chapelwaite and Paramount+’s Rabbit Hole, Fatal Attraction and Joe Pickett as well as the end of CBS’ Blue Bloods and Young Sheldon, NBC’s La Brea and Paramount+’s SEAL Team and The CW’s Superman & Lois.

With her boyfriend missing and her family long gone Dolores reunites with an old stoner buddy, Luis, who gives her room and board and lets her give massages for cash in the basement under his dilapidated storefront, Empanada Loca, the only remnant of her former life. When the promise of her newfound stability is quickly threatened, Dolores is driven to shocking extremes to survive, and in the face of unexpected professional success, Dolores and Luis become dangerously symbiotic, and Luis must unleash his own peculiar predilections.
