Amazon doesn’t see a future for As We See It.
The retail giant/streamer has opted to cancel the coming-of-age comedy about three 20-something roommates on the autism spectrum after one season. Reps for Amazon declined to comment on the decision.
The series hailed from Friday Night Lights and Parenthood creator Jason Katims and explored a subject that’s close to his heart as his son — who also inspired a character on Parenthood — is autistic. Rick Glassman, Sue Ann Pien and Albert Rutecki, who are all on the spectrum, starred as the three central roommates, while Sosie Bacon played their aide. Joe Mantegna also starred.
Katims, who penned the pilot, served as showrunner and exec produced alongside his True Jack topper Jeni Mulein and Dana Stern. The half-hour comedic drama was based on the Israeli format On the Spectrum, created by Dana Idisis and Yuval Shafferman.

Amazon Prime Video‘s new dramedy TV series “As We See It,” which had its eight-episode debut season drop in January, follows three 20-something roommates on the autism spectrum as they strive to navigate the highs and lows of life in a world that eludes them. The series hits close to home for creator/showrunner Jason Katims, as he himself has a son in his twenties who is on the spectrum, living independently and going through some of the same struggles as the characters on the show. “There’s less that you hear, read and know about autism in adulthood than you do [about it] in childhood and adolescence,” Katims tells Gold Derby as he discusses the intention behind creating the series (watch the exclusive video interview above).
