Nick Frost and Simon Pegg are a dream team who’ve been working by each other’s side for over two decades, but there are some projects even they can’t make work. That’s the case with Truth Seekers, the duo’s Amazon comedy that’s been canceled after a single season.

Truth Seekers was co-created by Frost and Pegg, who previously appeared in several projects together, most notably Edgar Wright’s Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. The series centered on a team of paranormal investigators who use DIY devices to track supernatural activities and share their adventures online.

In a video message he shared with his Instagram followers, Frost admitted that the cancellation of the series was a low-blow since the creative team behind it put a lot of effort into it.

“We really put our all into this—our heart and soul, and blood in some cases, so to not come back is really sad for us. It’s a shame. I think we had lots of lovely ghost stories to tell—stories that will remain now untold. If you liked the show, thank you,” said Frost on Instagram.

You can catch season one of Truth Seekers on Amazon Prime.

On TV, the Star Trek franchise is booming, with two series — Discovery and Picard — on the air. On the big screen, however, we have seen no new addition to the franchise since 2016’s Star Trek: Beyond which didn’t do so well and failed to earn more than $400 million. Now, actor Simon Pegg puts some of the responsibility for the uncertain future of the cinematic branch of the franchise on the shoulders of the studio — Paramount.

In a recent interview with GamesRadar+ and Total Film, Pegg, who’s played  Montgomery Scott (“Scotty”) since J.J. Abrams’ 2009 reboot and even took part in the writing of beyond, claimed that some of the blame for the current status of the franchise and the lack of success of beyond lies on the studio failing to market the movie as effectively as it could have. “They didn’t really take advantage of the 50th anniversary. The regimen at the time dropped the ball on the promo of the film. And we’ve lost momentum.”

The bar for the movies, according to Pegg, is high. “The fact is, ‘Star Trek’ movies don’t make Marvel money,” he said. “They make maybe 500 million dollars at the most, and to make one now, on the scale they’ve set themselves, is 200 million dollars. You have to make three times that to make a profit.”

Having Simon Pegg and J.K. Simmons in the same movie sounds like comedy gold – and that’s exactly what we’ll be getting in My Only Sunshine. The upcoming heist movie will see this hilarious duo starring opposite each other for the first time.

According to the film’s official logline, My Only Sunshine tells the story of a passionately dysfunctional couple who stage a bank robbery as an unconventional act of marriage counseling and use the violent hostage situation to try to make peace with the shocking mystery of their relationship.

J.T. Petty and K. Reed Petty wrote the script for this intriguing heist comedy, set to be directed by Mark Palansky, whose previous credits include Penelope and Rememory. XYZ Films will handle the sales, and they intend to introduce it to potential buyers at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.

Both Pegg and Simmons have a long list of projects lined up right now, both in the post- and pre-production, and it’s still unclear when exactly will they start shooting My Only Sunshine.
