Star Wars director J.J. Abrams' new crime thriller series Duster has been cancelled at HBO Max after its first season.

The news comes not even two months after showrunners Abrams and LaToya Morgan’s retro action-comedy series premiered on HBO Max. In a statement, the streamer said, "While HBO Max will not be moving forward with a second season of Duster, we are so grateful to have had the 𒈔chance to work with the amazingly talented co-creators," adding, "We are tremendously proud of this series."

. However, it is important to note that Duster did not draw a large audience, and failed to place on viewing charts.

Set in the '70s Southwest US, Duster "explores t✅he life of a gutsy getaway driver for a growing crime syndicate that goes from dangerous to wildly, stupidly dangerous when a tenacious young agent comes into town hellbent on taking his crime familyꦅ down," as per the official synopsis.

The show stars Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and Colony actor Josh Holloway. In fact, the show acted as a sor𓆏t of reunion between Abrams and Holloway, as the actor notably played a lead role in the hit ‘00s sci-fi show Lost, co-created by Abrams.

The cancellation must be especially hard for Hol𝐆loway, as the actor had previously taken a break from the industry due to not being able to find work. Before Duster hit streaming, the star told how he "had a hard seven years," adding, "nothing was coming through… I started telling my agents, ‘Just bring me work, I need to get out of the house, it’s ridiculous.'"

When Holloway got the call from Abrams about Duster, he was over the moon. "I couldn’t even believe what I was hearing," the star told THR. "Tha𒈔t was right before the pandemic, and then HBO was sold twice. But we kept making it through everything. [We wondered] ‘Are they going to cancel us?’ No, no. We kept chugging along."

Looking back on Hollowa🌌y's past interview only makes the news more heartbreak𝓀ing. Aside from HBO Max’s statement, the real reason for the show not moving forward is unknown.
