HBO has cancelled Vinyl, its '70s-set series about the burgeoning hip-hop and punk scene, despite previously having given it a second season order.
The renewal had been announced just days after the show first aired back in February, but that decision has now been overturned.
In a statement today, HBO said: "After careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with a second season of Vinyl. Obviously, this was not an easy decision.
"We have enormous respect for the creative team and cast for their hard work and passion on this project."
The reasons for the decision have not been explained, but two major changes in circumstances have taken place since the initial renewal.
Firstly, showrunner Terence Winter left the show over creative differences, with Bourne Ultimatum screenwriter Scott Z Burns taking his place.

Secondly, HBO's longtime programming president Michael Lombardo left his post last month.
According to Variety, the budget that was planned for Vinyl will now be used for other projects.
Vinyl was produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger, and featured an ensemble cast including Bobby Cannavale, Olivia Wilde, Ray Romano, Paul Ben-Victor, Juno Temple and Andrew Dice Clay.
It aired on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
