US TV comedy series Rutherford Falls has been cancelled after two seasons.
The critically acclaimed show focused on two best friends who tried to navigate their fictional town's complex history. The series began in April 2021 on Peacock, and received acclaim for its portrayal of Native Americans.
The show, co-created by Brooklyn Nine-Nine boss Michael Schur, Sierra Teller Ornelas and Ed Helms, has now been axed by the network less than three months after the season 2 premiere.

However, for fans of the series, there may still be light at the end of the tunnel yet. Ornelas has expressed hope that another streaming platform or television network could pick up the show for season 3.
"It's been my life's honour to make Rutherford Falls, something that reflects Native life as I've always seen it and felt it, filled with excellence and silliness and love," she said on Twitter. "I have to believe we're not done yet, and pray we find a new home for this awesome show."

She added: "Forever grateful to Mike, Ed, Jana, Michael, Jesse, the entire cast, crew, and support staff who risked freaking covid, risked sharing their stories and histories to make this show. We started something that'll never be stopped. We ain't done, but what we made will stand the test of time."

Ahead of the premiere of season 2 earlier this year, Ornelas spoke out about the importance of telling Indigenous stories on a mainstream platform.
"We really put everything we had into that first season, especially it being the first Native American sitcom," she told EW.
"I was like, 'We're doing everything because who knows if this is going to happen again. For season 2, I was so nervous and thought, 'Oh God, what do we do?' Michael Greyeyes was like, 'Well, there's an infinite amount of Indigenous stories. The one thing we don't have to worry about is stories.'"
