Daniels expressed gratitude to Amazon Freevee for reviving the series. And also mentioned that this is where the series wants to be.

“I’m grateful to Amazon Freevee for giving us the chance to make Season Two of American Rust. Set inside a struggling American small town, our authentic, realistically told story is built for streaming.

‘American Rust’ Showrunner On The Negative Feedback

The showrunner talked about the negative reaction to the series by stating, “I don’t honestly care that much. I just think that people sometimes think they have a handle on things with very limited information.

If you spend some time with this show it morphs into something very, very different and exciting — not that I think it wasn’t exciting from the beginning — it was just a very different show with the seeds of what it becomes, what it grows into.”

According to speculations, the revival may bring the series to a broader audience. What are your thoughts on this? It’s definitely exciting to have another season of American Rust.
