Counterpart will end after two seasons.
The news was announced by creator Justin Marks on Twitter Monday. The series currently in its sophomore season, with the season finale and now series finale scheduled to air on Sunday.
“It’s been an absolute dream for this team … we got to make exactly the show we wanted to … perfect cast, perfect crew on two continents … and we’re so grateful to our network for the time we had,” Marks wrote. “Thank you to everyone who made this journey so special for us. Your tweets, podcasts and intricate conspiracy theories have made it all worthwhile. Fingers crossed that our wonderful studio, MRC, can find a way to keep the dream alive!”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, while the series enjoyed critical success, it failed to garner a wider following and generating under 500,000 total viewers with three days of delayed viewing.
The series starred J.K. Simmons as a bureaucrat at a United Nations-affiliated agency who stumbles the secret to crossing over into a parallel dimension where he finds his counterpart. Nazanin Boniadi, James Cromwell, Betty Gabriel, Harry Lloyd, Olivia Williams and Eme Ikwuakor rounded out the cast.
