Description: Set in the near future, CLEVERMAN is a startlingly original drama rooted in Aboriginal mythology. The series depicts a deeply conflicted and anxious society, fearful of a minority group living among them, endowed with extraordinary physical traits. One young man – The Cleverman – struggles with his own power and the responsibility to unite this divided world, but he must first overcome a deep estrangement from his older brother. Sundance.TV
Status: There has been no word on the show since its second season aired in Summer 2017. It barely registered in the ratings in the States, and while its first season did well in its home country, its viewership dropped off in its second year. The show never developed much buzz in the U.S., though it may have made more waves in Australia due to its topical nature. At this point I am going to consider it cancelled because there is no word on a third season after an absence of a year.
