The series received mixed reviews from critics, with some feeling it struggled to carve out its own identity.
CBS also chose not to renew the show East New York for another season while outrage over their decision to cancel S.W.A.T caused the network to backtrack and renew it for a seventh season.
It comes after Netflix viewers were left outraged after popular crime series Young Wallander was cancelled by the streaming service after two seasons.
It is the latest in a long list of cancellations, which has seen shows such as 1899, Uncoupled and Ridley Jones all axed.
The series, which debuted in 2020, was based on the origin story of Henning Manskell’s 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 liked the series. Really Netflix…’
