Michelle Yeoh’s Netflix series The Brothers Sun canceled after one season despite critical praise for the Oscar winner’s performance.

Netflix on Friday canceled Michelle Yeoh’s dramedy The Brothers Sun after one season.

The series from Glee and American Horror Story co-creator Brad Falchuk and newcomer Byron Wu debuted its 8-episode season on January 4.

Oscar winner Michelle, 61, played Eileen, the matriarch of a powerful Taiwanese crime family, whose murderous son, Charles (Justin Chien), returned to Los Angeles to protect her and her son, medical student Bruce. (Sam Song Lei), after his father’s death.

“As Taipei’s deadliest societies and a rising new faction clash for dominance, Charles, Bruce and their mother must heal the wounds caused by their separation and discover what brotherhood and family truly mean before one of their countless enemies killed them all,’ according to the official description.

The series marked one of the first major projects Michelle embarked on after winning the Best Actress Oscar in 2023 for her incredible performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Praised by critics for Michelle’s outstanding performance, The Brothers Sun began with a bang.

Despite spending five weeks in Netflix’s Top 10 for English-language series and reaching the No. 2 position, the show struggled to secure a wide audience, according to Deadline.

It maintained a weekly view count below 7 million and fell below 2 million during its final two weeks in the Top 10 ranking.

Consequently, it failed to obtain a renewal for a second season.

Falchuk served as showrunner and executive producer alongside Wu.

Falchuk continues his professional collaboration with Netflix, maintaining an overall agreement with the streaming platform.

Meanwhile, Michelle will keep a busy schedule afterwards.

Most notably, he takes on a prominent role in this year’s highly anticipated adaptation of Wicked.

Additionally, his participation in a Star Trek spin-off remains in progress, promising fans more of his captivating performances in the sci-fi universe.

Additionally, Michelle has become an integral part of James Cameron’s extensive Avatar franchise, ensuring her presence in film credits for the foreseeable future, possibly extending into the next decade.

He will also appear at the 2024 Oscars alongside a cavalcade of stars, including Mahershala Ali, Nicolas Cage, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendan Fraser, Jessica Lange, Matthew McConaughey, Lupita Nyong’o, Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ke Huy Quan, Sam Rockwell and Zendaya.

Jennifer Lawrence will also be one of the presenters during the 96th Annual Academy Awards alongside Kate McKinnon, Dwyane Johnson and Regina King.
