Fans are absolutely gutted after Netflix cancelled a series with a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score after just one season.

Half Bad: The B*stard Son & The Devil Himself follows the story of two warring clans and the son of a notorious witch responsible for a deadly massacre who tries to find his place in the world.

Take a look at the epic teaser below:

Jay Lycurgo plays sixteen-year-old Nathan Bryne, the son of the world’s most dangerous witch.

"Fearing he will follow in his father's footsteps, Nathan is closely monitored throughout his childhood", the synopsis reads.

"As the boundaries between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fray, Nathan - along with mischievous Annalise and charismatic Gabriel - will soon discover who he truly is."

The show is written by Joe Barton and is also based on the Half Bad books by Sally Green.

After Netflix released the show on October 28, it has quickly become a cult classic and viewers can't get their head round why it was cancelled.

Jay Lycurgo stars as Nathan Bryne.
