Netflix has cancelled animated show Tuca & Bertie after one season.

The program starred Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong as a pair of anthropomorphic birds, and it was created by BoJack Horseman producer Lisa Hanawalt. The 10-episode first season appeared on Netflix on May 3, 2019.

Hanawalt took to Twitter last night (July 24) to reveal Netflix's decision to cancel the show, writing, "Netflix is not ordering a second season of Tuca & Bertie." She also added, "I'm hopeful we can find a home for Tuca & Bertie to continue their adventures."

Other cast members included Steven Yeun, Richard E. Grant, Reggie Watts, Nicole Byer and Shamir Bailey.

The show was critically acclaimed, with the first season earning a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 81 on Metacritic.

Many fans have sounded off on the cancellation and, needless to say, they're not happy. A Twitter campaign under the hashtag #RenewTucaAndBertie has emerged in the hopes that the show can live to see another season.

Notable advocates include Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Stephanie Beatriz, Canadian cartoonist Kate Beaton and comedian Paul F. Tompkins.
