Fans of the show aren’t sure if this means the show’s cancelled-cancelled or, as Team Monza 405 says, “…not picked up this year.”
Fans of Street Outaws (original series) either might have to wait for a new season (Season 16,) or prepare for the worst, the show’s cancellation.
Original cast member Team Monza 405 was replying to comments on Facebook and replied to user Amos Va that, “there is no OG show anymore.”
Check out a screenshot of his post below from this Reddit thread linked here.
According to Discovery, the original series of Street Outlaws has been going strong for 15 seasons, the last episode (S15 E10 The $16K Photo Finish) aired on Mar 6, 2023.
No Prep Kings, an offshoot of Street Outlaws, has been going strong for 5 seasons and is currently filming Season 6 as of the beginning of June.
Usually, Street Outlaws Original Series shoots between the last race of the latest season of filming for No Prep Kings.
“…seeing as they did not tape anything during the NPK break, I would say there would be no time to tape anything till late October, early November. That’s really pushing it climate-wise unless they go to California or something.”
“I would think, after running ragged all year, the rest of the group have little desire to pack up and leave town again for a few weeks to tape a show.”
Despite what Team Monza 405 said and with such a small window of actual filming for a Season 16 airing in 2024, his next reply does hint the show hasn’t been cancelled outright.
“It (Season 16) was not picked up this year, at least that’s what I was told.”
Discovery, owned by Warner Bros, hasn’t been immune to the Hollywood Strike, either.
According to a Reuters report earlier this month re Warner Bros (Discover included), uncertainty over the strike may “delay timing of its film slate, and its ability to produce and deliver content.”
Regardless of the original show’s declining popularity with each new season, Street Outlaws still draws in millions of viewers.
I’d be surprised if Discovery actually confirms that the show is actually cancelled.
More likely than not, filming, editing, and later airing may just be delayed.
What do you think?
Will there be a Season 16 of the Original Series of Street Outlaws?
