Netflix Cancels 'The Get Down'

It's the end of the line for The Get Down.

Netflix has canceled ambitious music drama from writer-director Baz Luhrmann after one season, it was announced Wednesday.

The news comes nearly two months after the second half of the series' first season premiered on the streaming giant. The Get Down was described as "a mythic saga of how New York at the brink of bankruptcy gave birth to hip-hop, punk and disco" and was set in the Bronx in the late 1970s.

Originally announced in February 2015, the project marked Luhrmann's first foray into television and stemmed from a concept he had been working on for more than a decade.
