The Mosquito Coast is a drama series about an idealistic inventor who is sickened by the industrial world’s corruption. The official synopsis reads, “Allie Fox—a brilliant inventor and stubborn idealist—uproots his family for a dangerous quest through Mexico to flee the U.S. government and find safety.”
The series has been well received by the audience. Spectators have been waiting to know if there’s going to be season three. Regrettably, there is a disappointing update on the third season.
Spectators have been anticipating the return of Allie Fox and his family. Let’s get into the details of the renewal.
‘The Mosquito Coast’ Season 3 Is Not Returning At AppleTV+
The Mosquito Coast will not be renewed for a third season on AppleTV+. That is disappointing news for both the team and the spectators of the series. The story is concluded.
In a recent interview, the author also applauded the series, saying he was ‘fascinated’ by what the filmmakers had done with his work.
The statement reads, “I’m an exec[utive] producer so I was tuned into each episode, but I was still on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen. They’ve done such a great job writing and directing, and the acting is terrific.”
And he also hinted at a ‘possible backstory’ for Allie Fox. But then the cancelation of the series arrived. It would have been thrilling to follow Allie Fox’s story if there had been a third season.
What Would Have Happened In ‘The Mosquito Coast’ Season 3?
There could have been a great story expansion if the series was not canceled. In fact, the team already had source material and talked about it.
Author Paul Theroux spoke to an outlet recently that if there had been a third season “it would segue into the book itself, and the movie’s search for a utopian community”.
Adding, “But we don’t know at the end of the second season if Allie is part of this, or if Margo is on her own. That’s the cliffhanger.”
Theroux also said, “I wrote the book in 1980, when Americans were looking at the Arab oil crisis, the Carter administration and very high interest rates. People were very discouraged, and saying things like, I’d like to go to Canada, to Africa, South America, Mexico.
I’m outta here. But Americans are very bad expatriates. That’s why Colonel Kurtz is a good analogy for Allie. He goes away, he fits in. It was Africa in the Joseph Conrad novel and the Congo in the movie.
He fits in enough to have all these people protecting him. You look at the States now, and there are a lot of very discouraging things happening and a lot of people who could relate to somebody who wants to go away and find a utopian community, to just bring America to some other place in a pure form.
That’s Swiss Family Robinson and The Mosquito Coast ideal. We’ll start again, make friends and create this little village in the jungle. In the series, Allie is being pursued so in a way he has to do it. In the book, he brings an invention that makes ice in the jungle.”
Team Is Still Rooting For Season 3 Of ‘The Mosquito Coast’
George starring in the series as Fox family matriarch Margot made a statement that she’s still hoping for another season of ‘The Mosquito Coast’.
She said, “There’s people arriving to the Mosquito Coast that are runaways like us, you know? Boats are coming in.
Does that mean that there’s other people in a similar situation to the Foxes? They leave it quite like a finale for a series, but I don’t really know what’s going to happen with the show. But fingers crossed!”
Spectators are wishing for m the show to be revived by another streaming platform.
