The show was based on the 1994 movie of the same name starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis.
The series received mixed reviews from critics, with some feeling it struggled to find its own identity.
CBS also chose not to renew the East New York show for another season, while outrage over their decision to cancel SWAT caused the network to backtrack and renew it for a seventh season.
It comes after Netflix viewers expressed outrage after popular crime series Young Wallander was canceled by the streaming service after two seasons.
It’s the latest in a long list of cancellations, with shows like 1899, Uncoupled, and Ridley Jones all scrapped.
The series, which debuted in 2020, was based on the origin story of Henning Manskell’s Detective Inspector Kurt Wallander, played by Adam Palsson.
Although it was released to rave reviews, the show has not been renewed for a third season, according to What’s on Netflix.
Fans took to Twitter to express their dismay at the news, with one saying, “What I really loved about the series. Real Netflix…”
