Pantheon is a one-hour animated sci-fi drama on AMC+, based on a collection of short stories ("The Gods Will Not Be Chained", "The Gods Will Not Be Slain", and "The Gods Have Not Died in Vain") by award-winning author Ken Liu.[1]
On January 8, 2023, AMC Networks announced that Pantheon had been pulled from AMC+ as part of the company's cost-cutting drive and therefore would not be returning for a second season despite the series' initial two season order.[2]
Synopsis[]
The thrilling speculative drama is centered on a bullied teen, Maddie (Katie Chang), who receives mysterious help from someone online: a stranger soon revealed to be her recently deceased father, David (Daniel Dae Kim), whose consciousness has been uploaded to the Cloud following an experimental destructive brain scan. David is the first of a new kind of being – an "Uploaded Intelligence" or "UI" – but he will not be the last, as a global conspiracy unfolds that threatens to trigger a new kind of world war.
