'Wonder Man' gets axed in shock move despite Season 2 renewal

Wonder Man, when debuted, was described by some critics as a fresh breath in Marvel, which was battling 'superhero fatigue'.

A signal of the series' strong demand led Disney to renew the show for season two.

But now Marvel shockingly has pulled the plug; according to Variety, season two never went anywhere since the renewal.

Insiders told the outlet no writers' room came into place, and eventually they were released to work on other projects.

Yahya Abdul Mateen II, the series main lead, reacted to the surprise cancellation on social media.

"Word just dropped that Wonder Man won’t be coming back for Season 2. (And if you don’t knowww, now ya knoww! ?)"

He continued, "That’s life, right? Everything will shake out. I wanted to say thank you to everybody who WATCHED the show, ENJOYED the show, and SHARED that they enjoyed the show in some way or other."

"The show worked. And that’s my favorite thing about it. I could see it on the faces of the Youtube Reactors (because I watched along with y’all this time. Shoutout to y’all) and I can see in the messages I get saying how the show reminded some of you not to give up, and I feel it in the genuine love shared when I bump into some of you all during the day."

"So, thinking of you all today. I’m glad we got to be a part of something cool. Thank you for watching… And uhh… See you at the EMMYS," the actor concluded.
