10 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled

10. The Brothers Sun

The Brothers Sun boasts an incredible cast and a brilliant premise, in which a family of gangsters must contend with shadowy assassins and their own dysfunctional family woes.

Starring Michelle Yeoh alongside resounding newcomers Justin Chien and Sam Song Li, the Netflix comedy-drama balances impeccable comedic timing with startling bouts of melodrama and brutal violence to create a truly original, lived-in tale of crime, identity and what family really means.

Honestly, it's a fantastic display, one anchored by a rarely-better Yeoh, but Netflix decided to axe it after just eight episodes in March, citing underwhelming audience returns as the primary reason (despite, it should be said, the show spending five weeks in the service's top 10).

Another season would have likely seen The Brothers Sun reach the intended audience, especially given the involvement of Oscar-winner Yeoh in the leading role, but we'll tragically never know what could have been, or how the Sun family's story ends.
