The US remake of The Returned has been cancelled.
A+E is not moving forward with a second season of Lost writer Carlton Cuse's adaptation of French supernatural drama Les Revenants.
The Returned made its premiere on A+E in March amidst considerable hype and promotion.
Kevin Alejandro, Jeremy Sisto, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Agnes Bruckner and Mark Pellegrino all played residents of a small town where long-dead residents suddenly re-appear.
Original French series Les Revenants has earned acclaim all over the world, even winning an International Emmy for Best Drama Series.
The Returned's cancellation comes on the same day as A+E picked up Bates Motel for two more seasons.
