News of the cancellation was reported by The Hollywood Reporter, which noted that the series had strong ratings in its first few weeks and that the reason for the cancellation isn't immediately known.
The series starred Justin Chien as Charles Sun, a legendary killer and the son of a powerful Taiwanese triad leader. When his father is killed, Charles goes to Los Angeles to protect his mother Eileen, played by Yeoh, and his younger brother Bruce, played by Sam Song Li.
As countless enemies try to kill them, Charles, Bruce and their mother must heal the wounds caused by their separation and figure out what brotherhood and family truly mean.

It's also not the first Netflix show to be cancelled in recent months, with a slew of cancellations being announced back in November 2023.
This list included Shadow and Bone, Agent Elvis, Farzar, Captain Fall and Glamorous, with Deadline chalking up the decision to an executive shake-up at the streaming service at the time.
