Hulu has recently canceled its space drama The First, after a single seasonaccording to The Hollywood Reporter. The series was launched last year is based on the astronauts and thief families as they prepared to travel to Mars.

Hulu ordered the series from House of Cards show runner Beau Willimon back in 2017 for an eight-episode season. The show follows the efforts of a private space company in 2033 as it prepared a mission to the red planet, and starred Sean Penn as the leader of that expedition.

After the company’s first effort mission ends in disaster, it struggled to justify and prepare a second mission, led by Tom Hagerty. The season followed the impact of those preparations on the astronauts and their families, ended as that mission launches into space and prepares for the injection burn that will take them to Mars. Now, the fate of that mission will be left up to viewers’ imaginations.

The show received a positively response by critics but was also criticized for being slow and drawn out. The platform has other big projects coming up, including a fourth season of Veronica Mars, a miniseries adaptation of Catch-22, and two shows set in George R.R. Martin’s Wildcards superhero universe.
