AMC has canceled the crime drama after one season. It comes after the first season of the adaptation of British drama series The Driver premiered in March.

“We’re so proud of Parish, and thankful for the creative talent involved and the performances they were able to bring to the screen, starting with the remarkable Giancarlo Esposito, Skeet Ulrich and the entire cast,” the company said. “We are unfortunately unable to proceed with a second season, but Season 1 will remain available on AMC+ to fans who want to relive this thrill-ride-of-a-series and those yet to discover it.”

The series stars Esposito as Gracian Parish, a family man and proud owner of a luxury car service in New Orleans. After his son is violently murdered and his business collapses, an encounter with an old friend from his days as a wheelman resurfaces old habits, sending Gracian on a high-stakes collision course with a violent criminal syndicate.

Parish also stars Zackary Momoh as New Orleans-based Zimbabwean gangster The Horse; Paula Malcomson as Parish’s wife and mother to his two children, Rose; Skeet Ulrich as an old acquaintance to Gray, Colin; Bonnie Mbuili as Shamiso Tongai, The Horse’s smart and protective older sister; Ivan Mbakop as The Horse’s brother, Zenzo; Arica Himmel as Gray and Rose’s daughter Makayla; and Dax Rey as The Horse’s son Luke.

Bradley Whitford recurs as Anton, the charming and intelligent face of industrial business in Louisiana who covertly heads a criminal organization. His dispute with The Horse’s human trafficking ring puts him at direct odds with Parish. Additionally, Amanda Brugel guest stars as Sister Anne, who has a mysterious past with Gray.

Parish was created by Danny Brocklehurst and Jim Poyser. It is produced by AMC Studios, in association with A+E Studios and Thruline Entertainment. Brocklehurst serves as co-creator and executive producer. Eduardo Javier Canto and Ryan Maldonado serve as showrunners and executive producers; Esposito also executive produces alongside Brocklehurst, Poyser, Jolyon Symonds and David Morrissey for Scribbler Films, Josh Kesselman, Danny Sherman, Barry Jossen, Tana Jamieson, Theo Travers and Red Production’s Nicola Shindler.
