Although a reason was not provided, Brian did explain how he knew fans would be devastated. "This is especially tough because I know how many of you loved this season," he continued.
"It's a heartbreaking silver lining, but a silver lining all the same. I'm so proud of everyone who worked on the show, and so happy we got to tell the stories we did. Our cast and crew put in a ton of hard work creating this world and these characters."

Fans were quick to take to social media to reflect on the announcement, and many are not happy about Netflix's decision. One person wrote: "I really don't understand Netflix. They cancel even the shows which are successful and have good ratings. They don't care about us at all."
