"It is everything we and the fans dreamed it would be: bold, emotional, stunning, kick ass, and outright unforgettable," she continued. "Never has there been a more truly global show with an equally diverse and international cast and crew, which is only mirrored by the connected community of deeply passionate fans all around the world. We thank Lana, Lilly, Joe and Grant for their vision, and the entire cast and crew for their craftsmanship and commitment."

Other Netflix series to be canceled include Marco Polo, The Get Down, Lilyhammer, Hemlock Grove, BLOODLINE and A&E pickup Longmire.
