Sir Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese's television series about the music industry in the 1970s will not be returning for a second season.
US cable network HBO has cancelled Vinyl, which starred Bobby Cannavale and Olivia Wilde.
HBO had originally picked the series up for a second season after its first episode premiered in February but has now reversed its position.
The broadcaster issued a statement saying it was "not an easy decision" to make.
It said: "After careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with a second season of Vinyl.
"Obviously, this was not an easy decision. We have enormous respect for the creative team and cast for their hard work and passion on this project."
Vinyl's February premiere on HBO was watched by 764,000 viewers, according to figures from US measurement company Nielsen.
The big-budget series ended its 10-episode run in April with a disappointing season average of 650,000 viewers.
Vinyl, which aired on Sky Atlantic in the UK, is one of the most high-profile series to be cancelled by HBO after only one run.
It revolved around the sex and drugs-fuelled music industry as punk, hip hop and disco were in their infancy.
It also starred Sir Mick's son James Jagger as rebellious British singer Kip Stevens.
