Netflix has announced it will not move forward with a second season of “The Brothers Sun” despite a good showing in the first few weeks of its release.

Why it was canceled: While Netflix did not provide a reason for the cancellation, some reports note that the action comedy-drama failed to garner a large enough audience.

“I haven’t watched a show as entertaining as ‘The Brothers Sun’ in a long while,” an Instagram user commented under Chien’s post. “I was thrilled and so proud to see Asian representation that is rare to find – representation that was unique to the Asian, AAPI, and immigrant experience.”
