Cinemax's Clive Owen-led series The Knick has run its course after just two seasons.
The period medical drama, hailing from Steven Soderbergh, aired the season two finale on Cinemax back in December 2015, and although there's been whispering about a third run, it appears it's gone for good.
Chris Sullivan, who played ambulance driver Tom Cleary, spilled the beans at PaleyFest today (March 24).
"Yeah, I've heard it's done," he told TVLine.
"They were gonna try [to do a third season], but I've heard it's done."
HBO then confirmed the news, stating that it isn't the sort of show Cinemax wants to focus on, as it is returning to "high-octane action dramas".

"After a critically acclaimed two-season run of The Knick on Cinemax, we will not be going forward with additional episodes of the series," HBO's representative told The Hollywood Reporter.
"Despite our pride in and affection for the series as well as our respect for and gratitude toward Steven Soderbergh and his team, we have decided to return Cinemax to its original primetime series fare of high-octane action dramas, many of which will be internationally co-produced."
The series starred Clive Owen as the drug addict surgeon John Thackery, who frequently spent his time in between operations injecting himself or hanging out at opium dens.
The Knick earned a Golden Globe nomination for Owen, and Soderbergh, who directed all the episodes, earned two Emmy nods.
