Netflix has cancelled Kaos, despite some viewers having binge-watching it in one go.
The streaming giant has decided to axe the show despite it being one of the top shows on the platform - with it even topping Netflix globally for a period.
Viewers have been left devastated after only enjoying one season.

Variety has confirmed the news after actor Aurora Perrineau hinted at the news last night on Instagram.
Creator of the show Charlie Covell had hoped for more seasons, having previously said: "The idea is three seasons in total. So, that's what I have kind of in my brain... I would love to do more.
“There's lots of things forming. I've got an idea of what the plot is.
“But no, there's no script, just lots of fevered documents and stuff that only I would probably understand at this point. But the main story is clear in my head."
Taking to Twitter following the decision, one user wrote that the move by Netflix was a 'shambles'.
Another added: "This was actually a good series. Probably had a huge budget compared to cheap dating shows. Sad."
While a French user wrote, which was translated to English: "I binge watched KAOS on Netflix, I love how our times turn the stories of Gods and Goddesses."
They weren't the only person to do so - someone else even explained that they had just finished binge-watching it today!
They wrote: "binge- watched KAOS with @gbndvb. life has become vapid now."
Perrineau played Euridyce in the show, and starred alongside Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, alongside Killian Scott's Orpheus, and Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus.
The actor's post, which she has since taken down, read: "Well… this one hurts.
"I find explaining how I’m feeling to be really difficult, but I’ll try.
"When I started auditioning for this show, I knew it was special, mainly due to the fact that Charlie Covell’s scripts resonated with me in a way most things hadn’t. I knew all of these people, and I loved them all — every flaw, everything."
It went on: "For one of the first times in my life, I have found myself really proud. I’m, of course, proud of everyone’s work and the care they gave to this project, because, let me tell you, they left everything on the floor.
"But I’ve also found myself proud of me, and that is something I’ve struggled with.
"When I got cast, I couldn’t believe that someone SAW me. A girl who’s not only a minority but also a survivor of SA [sexual abuse] — and you’re telling me that someone thinks I could be one of the leads of a show, have agency, my own mission, and be desirable enough to be the love interest to not only one amazing human but two?"
