The Bondsman, starring Golden Globe-winning actor Kevin Bacon, has been cancelled by Prime Video after one season.
The blow to the 66-year-old Hollywood vet’s career was announced by Deadline on Friday, and it came one day after he took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes look at the show.
All eight half-hour episodes of the Blumhouse Television series came out on April 3 following a SXSW premiere.
According to the outlet, the Bondsman earned a spot on the Nielsen Top 10 streaming rankings in its premiere week, sitting at number nine on the Originals chart with 563 million viewing minutes.
But by its second week on the streamer, The Bondsman had tumbled off the chart altogether.
However, the show has stayed on Prime Video’s Top 10 list, holding the number five slot in the US.

Despite impressing critics and viewers and averaging 83% on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has not been able to create momentum online.
The short-lived program followed resurrected bounty hunter Hub Halloran, who ‘gets an unexpected second chance at life, love and his nearly forgotten musical career —only to find that his old job now has a demonic new twist,’ according to an IMDb synopsis.
Bacon engaged his Instagram audience of 4.6 million this week, sharing a video showing how makeup artists apply his character’s tattoos and scars.
He captioned the post, ‘TV magic: Hub’s tattoos in #TheBondsman.’
Kevin has been married to wife Kyra Sedgwick since 1988.
They’re parents to 33-year-old daughter Sosie and 35-year-old son Travis.
The movie star used social media to give a shoutout to his spouse on Mother’s Day, sharing throwback photos of her with their kids and writing, ‘I’ll take any excuse to celebrate you. Happy Mother’s Day @kyrasedgwickofficial, I love you and our family.’

Kevin recently opened up about meeting his longtime wife Kyra Sedgwick; they are seen on March 31
While appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show in April, the proud husband revealed he first met his wife when she was just 12-years-old and he was 19.
It happened in 1978 when they first crossed paths as young actors.
He recalled, ‘I will tell you that I was doing a lot of Off-Broadway, many years before that. I was 19 so she was 12, I think.
‘Her mom had seen me in some plays Off-Broadway, and she knew that little 12-year-old Kyra wanted to be an actor.’
Sedgwick’s mom bought tickets to attend one of his shows, and they ran into him while he was on a lunch break.
‘I was buying a sandwich in the deli around the corner. This 12-year-old girl came up and said, “Hi, I liked you in the play.”‘
The couple met for the second time in 1987 when they were cast in the movie Lemon Sky.
