The live-action Netflix adaptation of the critically acclaimed anime series “Cowboy Bebop” has already been canceled after just one season.

The show made its debut on Nov. 19. According to data from Netflix, the series garnered around 74 million hours of viewing time around the world since its release. Those numbers crashed almost 60%, however, during the week of Nov. 29 to Dec. 5.

The "Cowboy Bebop" adaptation starred John Cho, Mustafa Shakir and Daniella Pineda. The cast of the show has reacted to the hasty cancellation.

“I truly loved working on this,” co-executive producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach said in a tweet. “It came from a real and pure place of respect and affection.”

Lead actor John Cho tweeted a meme of actor Tom Selleck in the show “Friends” woefully saying “I’m Okay.”

There was a lot of hype around the show up to its release, but it received mediocre reviews from critics.

Mike Hale of the New York Times said that the adaptation’s “main value… would be to drive you back to watch the old one… [it] begs a comparison that the show itself can’t live up to, and shouldn’t have to.”

"There's not much to "Cowboy Bebop" that would merit saddling up for an encore," Brian Lowry of CNN said in a review. "The producers have managed to make a show that appears to have provoked skepticism among the original's devotees."
