It’s unknown at this time if the show will be picked up for a second season. Despite being out for a few days, it currently has no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
The show was initially announced as a vehicle for Blue Demon Jr., but he was replaced with the Black Scorpion back in August. No reason has been revealed why the change was made.
