BBC America has cancelled its adaptation of Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency after two seasons.

“We are beyond proud of this brilliant original series and so appreciative of the outstanding team behind it including Max Landis, Samuel Barnett, Elijah Wood, and many many others,” BBC America said in a statement. “It was a privilege to work with this talented and passionate group of writers, producers and actors on these two seasons of Dirk. Thanks also to the passionate fans who embraced this fantastically novel world.”

Dirk Gently starred Elijah Wood, Jade Eshet, Hannah Marks, Mpho Koaho, Fiona Dourif, Dustin Milligan, Michael Eklund, Osric Chau, Viv Leacock and Zak Santiago.

This is the second small screen version of Dirk that’s been cancelled by the BBC – the first starred Stephen Mangan.
