Marvel‘s Wonder Man star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is speaking out after the Disney+ series was un-renewed.
The streamer picked up the series for a second season in March before reversing course and canceling the renewal on Thursday. The decision came as a surprise after Wonder Man had a solid debut on Disney+ in late January, drawing 618 million minutes of viewing time during its premiere week, according to Nielsen’s streaming ratings. While the show fell out of the top 10 original streaming titles after that, it continued to earn positive reviews from critics and audiences. Abdul-Mateen also received an Emmy nomination for his performance of the title character.
Following the cancellation, Abdul-Mateen took to Instagram to share his reaction.
“Word just dropped that Wonder Man won’t be coming back,” he wrote in the caption. “That’s life, right? Everything will shake out.”
