Did you guys catch that show UTOPIA on Amazon? It kind of flew under my radar, which may have been the case for many others because Amazon has decided to not renew the series for a second season. That's too bad because it was written by GONE GIRL author, Gillian Flynn, and seems to have had a pretty cool premise:

A group of young adults who meet online are mercilessly hunted by a shadowy deep state organization after they come into possession of a near-mythical cult underground graphic novel. Within the comic’s pages, they discover the conspiracy theories that may actually be real and are forced into the dangerous, unique and ironic position of saving the world.

UTOPIA starred John Cusack, Sasha Lane and 'Dwight Schrute' (Rainn Wilson). I haven't heard anything about another streaming service or fan petition looking to save the show. Would you want a second season? Please let us know below!
