Showtime is not proceeding with a potential second season of The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Although originally designed as a standalone series, there was potential for a second run, but the streamer has decided not to go ahead.

“Our thanks to the extraordinary Alex Kurtzman, Jenny Lumet, John Hlavin and Sarah Timberman who did a great job of turning the David Bowie film into such a resonant tale for our times,” a Showtime spokesperson said in a statement to THR who broke the story. “And kudos to a wondrous cast led by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Naomie Harris and Bill Nighy for bringing it to life. Alex and Jenny originally intended The Man Who Fell To Earth to be a close-ended story. While we flirted with the idea of expanding it into a second season, we all ultimately decided to embrace it as a one season story well told.”

A graphic novel adaptation of the original movie is being released by Titan Comics on 25 October.
