While we are disappointed not to continue the story, we have loved working with such a talented cast and crew on bringing our beloved show to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barton also shared the news on his own Twitter page, writing that he was \u201cvery proud of it\u201d and was \u201csorry not to be able to finish the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Sadly, yes, Netflix have cancelled this.

You made a fantastic show, and I\u2019m so sorry for everyone involved that you can\u2019t carry that on. But you really did fly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an outrage. One of the best things I\u2019ve seen this year,\u201d added screenwriter Debbie Moon, while The Lazarus Project director Laura Scrivano wrote: \u201cGenuinely pissed and really sad for all of you. It deserved much much more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, some fans blamed a lack of promotion for the show\u2019s cancellation, with one Twitter user writing: \u201cNetflix basically buried this under Wednesday. Like they need to spread out releases because they expect everyone to binge everything in 3 days then cancel shows bc they don\u2019t have the viewership they expected.\u201d<\/p> <p>And others were especially disappointed that the series wouldn\u2019t get the chance to finish plot threads that were started in the debut run \u2013 with on fan Tweeting: \u201cWait!
