The Final Season of GORTIMER debuts July 15th on Amazon Prime USA

It’s been a long wait — too long — but your patience is about to be rewarded. The epic “second half of Season 2” Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street will arrive on Amazon Prime Video in the USA on July 15th. (Amazon’s lawyers won’t let us call it “Season 3”.)

13 new episodes. One crazy street. Here’s the trailer:

Season 3 — I mean 2B — brings some surprises. Gortimer grapples with the news he might be leaving Normal Street. Mel adjusts to a life without her mother. And Ranger finally succumbs to the effects of taking on the weight of everyone else’s problems in a way you can only do on Normal Street. There are more than a few episodes in this batch that put a lump in my throat.

Check out the official announcement and first look at not-season-three of Gorimter on etonline.com.

There’s also a “bonus” retrospective trailer on the Amazon Prime Video web page-page. Check it out.

      It was hard for us to say goodbye too. We’ve never shrunk from the real-life experiences of growing up on the show, and the truth is — all things must pass. Thank you for inviting us into your home, and I hope I’ll have something new to show you soon.

    Was the end of the series planned, or did Amazon cancel it? IMDB had a hyphen in the date, so I had no idea it was ending until it did.

    I can pretty easily discover a fault in any show, but there was none in this one. The concept was splendid, the writing was superb (as a burgeoning writer myself the writing has to be rather impressive to earn such praise from me) the actors were stupendous (I am running out of accolades) and the abject magical-ness which was interwoven into the story lines brought such a wonderful glow to each and every moral lesson (disguised as an escapade). An extra “bravo” for developing REAL female characters. Seriously. Thank you. I only wish I had had such a lovely role model as Mel when I was growing up.

    Had this show been marketed as a “regular” show (as in, not a kid show) it would have had a much wider audience. (There. I found the weakness. The show was undersold/improperly marketed) I am a 55 year old woman who very much enjoyed every single episode. I watched it from the beginning – due to the unusual name Gortimer, and at the end I kept hoping some weird plot twist would keep Gortimer on Normal Street. Wow. What a downer.

      Thank you so much for your kind comments, Anita. I planned for the show to be three seasons and done. Three years of middle school. I didn’t want to do high school drama. That’s a whole other thing. And I was happy to end it on a high note and go out before we ran the wheels off of it.

      I never thought of the show as a kid’s show. I wrote it for the kid in all of us. I’m glad it found its way to you. Thanks for watching to the end.

        I have to say how delightful I found this quirky and wonderful show. The writing and storylines an acting was wonderfully refreshing. It was very special….its hard to find this quality and I thoroughly enjoyed binge watching this awesome show. I hope you produce more as I am always looking for shows that are just fun to watch that are not violent and are just well written. Thanks I have really enjoyed watching and lol will most likely watch it over and over again.

      I agree 100%. I am 60 and got far more excited to watch new episodes than my 6 yr old twin grandsons…and they begged to watch more episodes all the time. We savored them. We want a friend like Gort, as we fondly refer to him. I an rather sick that the series seems to end. I want that future we saw to be only what Gort dreamed…and let the lives of Gort and friends continue to unfold together in the town.

      I can only say — all things must pass, James. Part of growing up is sometimes having to say goodbye. In a world of endless sequels and prequels and sidequels, and where heroes are killed and resurrected and rebooted, we never have to face the truth sometimes. The show has never shied away from being truthful, even if it’s a truth that hurts a little.

    As with several above I found that I probably enjoyed the show more than my kids.
    I loved that it dealt with kids having to deal with those things in life that are necessary, if regrettable, components of growing up.
    I loved that it was teaching morals for life in a way that I could see so clearly in adult retrospect, but which my kids were as yet blissfully ignorant of. Many times I found myself exclaiming to my 8 year old that I *really* loved the show, for reasons that were difficult to articulate to her in terms she would understand, but which I hope she will comprehend when it comes time for her to traverse those life hurdles depicted in the show.
    Finally I love the gender roles, with smart and independant girls, and creative and occasionally vulnerable boys.
    Desperately sad that it’s finished, but ever so grateful to have been able to come along for the ride.

    Our family must concur, we watch together. I think the mid 40’s parents that we are, we may enjoy this more than our 7 & 10 year old daughters. I, the dad, only started seeing episodes a week ago and tonight was the finale. Spot on! While I feel like many of the previous comments, I must agree with your decisions, middle school, do not beat it to death. I want moooore, Therefore, you have succeeded beyond your intial intentions! A nd while I do not like to compare this show to another; I believe that Gortimer is as good, if not better than The Wonder Years. The characters are immediately likable, comical, smart and level headed. I could go on and on, while I have only seen 4 episodes; I will watch the series from the beginning. Production value is great too. Nothing but many many thumbs up here. Loved it in PA. Thank you!

Side-by-side we laughed, cried, and learned. It was engrossing television- the plots were wonderful, the characters authentic, and the lessons organic.

    A bit gutted to discover that the series is limited; it’s rare a show comes along that combines smart writing, humor and poignancy in the way that you folks did with this program.

    Having said that, I applaud your decision to keep it finite — while both my kids and I would love more, there is something special about a self-contained story that doesn’t drone on ad infinitum, and it’s nice that my kids get to experience that. Good TV is one of my favorite tools to teach my kids about storytelling and narrative form, and Gortimer sure is a great example of the craft done right.

    Anyhow, I’ll be following your future work. Kudos on having created a very special story.

    I don’t know how we missed season 2B of Gortimer Gibbons. I blame my smart tv’s terrible Prime interface. My two daughters who are 10 and 8 love this show as do I. We are watching it now and I feel such a sense of sadness that it will be over soon. I love how the kids aren’t smart mouthed teens who over act a la Disney channel. The kids seem like genuine good kids, the type of children you want your kids to be friends with. The entire cast is so talented and it’s so good to see a show that doesn’t talk down to its viewers. Thank you so much for this, it has been a gift.

    I had been putting off watching the last episode in the hope that, like Gortimer, I might force some magic into the world and keep the series going infinitely — maybe with a rainbow projector. This show is one in a million, and, like a great friend, will never be forgotten. Thank you, everyone who had anything to do with the production of this excellent series, for putting so much into Gortimer Gibbon. And…that music! The perfect song theme for Normal Street: bittersweet and beautiful.

    I am so sad that the end of Gortimer Gibbons has come. My daughter and I love the show. She keeps saying the next season will be called Gortimer Gibbons lived on Normal Street. I don’t think I will tell her quite yet that the last season was the end of the series, she is 7 and I don’t think she is ready to hear that. I could barely even watch the last episode it was so sweet and sad. Anyway thank you for a great series, with great characters, it was truly enjoyed!

    It is so hard to find a show that my entire family really likes and looks forward to watching. I have an 11 year old, 7 year old and two 4 year olds and they all cheer when we get a chance to watch Gortimer. I also have told the kids that they aren’t allowed to watch it without me! Bravo on a wonderful show that appeals to ALL ages and really teaches kids that loyalty, kindness, perseverance, and humility are admirable attributes to have! I am so tired of the shows marked to my middle schooler- full of dating drama, disrespect, idiotic adults and not very nice children. This show definitely filled a gap for our family, and I really am excited to see what’s next from you!

    Amazing! This show is a welcome relief from the usual teen/tween drama out there. I’m 44, a wonder years enthusiast to the core, and this is the best show of its genre easily. Thank you sooooo much for creating this world and these characters. Truly a masterpiece. This show has brought our family closer together. My daughter is more proud of who she is. I will watch/read anything you create, Mr. Anaxagoras.

    Thanks for this show! My 12 year old son and I just found it a few weeks ago and are coming to the end of season 2. Amazon doesn’t have season 3 yet but we will watch it when we can find it. The actors are fantastic! I love that Gortimer shows an emotional breadth and depth that is sorely lacking in roles for boys and men, and that the girls are smart, brave and strong…turning stiff and boring gender roles on their ears! I love the ethical dilemmas each story poses, shows the consequences of taking the left turn, instead of perhaps what might be a more conscientious path, then having a shot at bringing things back into balance, with honesty and sincere apologies and making it up to people. Plus the magic is so fun! Such creative story lines…with a wonderful, non trite message at the end! My son loves these shows as much as I do!

      I’m glad you found spending time with our characters worthy, and I hope your son did as well. The true magic of Normal Street is in the characters — they don’t have superpowers, but they have love and empathy and compassion and a strong moral compass. These things help and protect more than any magic wand ever could. Thanks for watching.

    I just recently finished season three – I mean 2B. And wow. This really did me in. My dad and I watched this together, and he exclaimed at the end, “They have to keep it going! Maybe they’ll do, ‘Gortimer Gibbon’s life in the city!’” And as I peered from behind my blanket, huge tears in my eyes I said, “No, Dad. It wouldn’t be the same.” This show was so wonderful, definitely my favorite show ever – by far. I’m a 19 year old girl currently dealing with the “consequences” of growing up. This show hit so close to home and it will be one of my greatest treasures. I don’t know if you’ll see this comment, but thank you, and all involved, for creating this.

    Love,
    Me, who is trying to grow up

    P.S. I literally tell all my friends about this show. They think I’m nuts, but just they wait until they watch it and sob with me!

      I do see your comment. I hear you. And I appreciate your response. I love hearing that you and your father enjoyed the show together, and that you displayed such wisdom in realizing that if the show tried to continue, it wouldn’t be the same anyway.

    My son and I just discovered Gortimer about 6 months ago. This series is so well written! It’s a really nice family oriented show that we love to watch together. For my 8 year old to sit still through every episode and stay interested from beginning to end is no easy feat! We’ll continue to rewatch the series as long as Amazon plays it. We hope you have new projects on the horizon!

      Great to hear from you Elodie. Sasha, our composer, I’m sure, would be tickled to know one of her compositions serves as your alarm. I’m so glad you enjoyed the show. The prequels, sequels, and other adventures on Normal Street are there for you to dream and imagine. I leave it to you.

    Here in Scotland, my daughter and I love this programme SO much. We haven’t watched the last series of episodes yet but looking forward to the great quality we’ve come to expect. Can’t wait to see any of your future projects…

    I’m never emotionally moved by any form of entertainment, but I welled up a bit during the final episode. The show was head and shoulders above any other show on television, in any metric, in my opinion. Kudos on a job amazingly done and thank you and everybody involved for sharing with us.

    Such a wonderful program. I watched it with my three grandchildren. In the episode where GG explodes at his mom was so intense two of my grandchildren were crying. The program touched us all and we all hated to see it end. Thank you for a great show to share with my grandchildren.

    I really wish they were not ending it. My 9yr old and I thoroughly enjoy watching it. She finishes each episode with great perspective on what it meant and how to apply the behavior to her everyday. She loves this show. I’m sad to hear it is coming to an end. I have definitely enjoyed the shows as well. Well written.

    My 10-yr. old daughter and I just discovered Gortimer, Mel, and Ranger this summer. We absolutely adore the show. As an older mom, it’s hard to find programming that is so sweet, clever, and thought-provoking at the same time. We haven’t even finished Season 2, but just found out that the show ended so I am crying already as I did during many of the shows. Bless you for creating such a lovely show that my daughter will share with her children one day.

        Hi David, I’m Jake’s mother, Gisele and I just wanted to thank you for such a beautiful and sensitively written show. It’s been an absolute gift and we have watched them together for our Friday night treat night. We have laughed and cried together. A complete joy. We will never forget Gortimer Gibbons and his friends and that’s thanks to you.

    We just recently discovered Normal Street. Our family loves it there. Congrats on a wonderful series. I looked this up when I saw a trailer Dwight in Shining Armor and realized the chance of filming two series at once was zilch. Best wishes on future endeavors.

    I want to say that today we finished Gortimer and immediately started the first season over again. I’ve read all of the comments and I agree with everyone on what a great show it was. It was one that we watched and loved as a family without any worry that our son would see or hear something inappropriate. The children are not acting like their parents and all adults are stupid and there is no sarcasm or snarkyness like in most kids shows today. I’m very sad the show ended, but I do understand. Please make another show that has all the wonderful traits and values that this one had.

    Hi David: I just wanted to add my sentiments to everyone else’s here. You created a fantastic show; my wife and three kids (ages 12, 10, and 7) all loved it. It’s so rare nowadays to have a show that the entire family can watch together that captures the challenges of life and combines it with humor, drama, and great moral lessons. Well done. I also wanted to pass my praise along to the cast — everyone was amazing, and Sloane, Ashley, and Drew were absolutely outstanding (some of the best youth acting I’ve ever seen). It was also cool to find out that “Fred” (Luke) was a fellow director/producer. What a talented group you managed to put together. Also, the soundtrack that Sasha created is fantastic — I’m so happy to see it available for streaming on services like Spotify (I play it often as background music in my office). I hope Amazon keeps this available indefinitely as it truly is a masterpiece that you and your team should forever feel proud of. Thanks again.

    We, my 9 year old daughter actually, just discovered this show as a recommend by Amazon Prime video. We had never seen it in the recommends before and I have no idea why not. She wanted to see it because she thought it looked like Just add Magic but with boys. We all have really enjoyed it so far and are just starting season 202. We really wish there was more, it’s really great. So glad she found it for us to enjoy for family show time.

      I’m so happy you and your kids enjoyed the show. I also wish there were more shows like it. It’s very hard to convince the networks to break out of their formula for kid shows. I got lucky with Amazon because when they were just starting, they didn’t have a formula.

    Thank you, David, for the gift that was this show. I enjoyed every episode with my children, ages 9 and 11, who couldn’t get enough of Gortimer and his friends. From the other comments it’s clear that I am not alone in recognizing that this show was both special and, unfortunately, quite unique. You did something extraordinary here. Well done, and thanks again.
