James Bond has enjoyed a strong start to a new era under Amazon MGM Studios thanks to the success of 007 First Light.
Released on May 27, IO Interactive’s highly anticipated third-person action-adventure game has been met with widespread praise from critics and players alike. The title stars Irish actor Patrick Gibson as a young James Bond and serves as an origin story for the famous MI6 agent.
The game’s strong launch, coupled with reports that it sold nearly three million copies during its first two weeks, has given fans plenty of reason to celebrate.

Major James Bond Project Reportedly Shelved
However, news surrounding another recent James Bond project has been far less positive.
According to British tabloid The Sun, Amazon has decided not to continue 007: Road to a Million beyond its existing two seasons.
Hosted by Succession actor Brian Cox, the reality television competition series sends teams of contestants around the world to complete Bond-themed challenges while competing for a large cash prize. The first season premiered on Prime Video on November 10, 2023, while a second season followed in 2025. But despite the franchise recognition attached to the series, The Sun reports that there are currently no plans for additional episodes.
A spokeswoman for Prime Video reportedly told the publication: “There are no current plans to extend [007: Road to a Million] beyond the two seasons.”
Amazon MGM has not issued a public announcement confirming that the series has been canceled, meaning its status remains based on reporting from The Sun.
James Bond Movie Reboot Still Happening
Despite those reports, the broader Bond franchise continues to move forward.
Amazon MGM Studios is currently developing a new film that will serve as a reboot following the conclusion of Daniel Craig’s storyline in No Time to Die (2021).
The project has already assembled an impressive creative team. Denis Villeneuve (Dune, Dune: Part Two) is directing the film, while Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) is writing the screenplay. The studio has also reportedly begun searching for its next Bond actor, with casting director Nina Gold leading the process.
While the future of 007: Road to a Million may be uncertain, both the success of 007 First Light and the talent attached to the next James Bond film suggest that Amazon MGM Studios remains fully committed to the future of the world’s most famous secret agent.
