Deadline has reported that Apple TV+ series Swagger has been cancelled after two seasons. Swagger was created by Reggie Rock Blythewood (Dancing in September, Beyond the Lights) and is inspired by the experiences of NBA player Kevin Durant as a child.

“What an amazing adventure. In our two seasons, we have launched careers, disrupted genre, brought forth humanity through our characters, told stories we care deeply about, revolutionized the way to shoot basketball and had fun,” Blythewood wrote in an Instagram post sharing the cancelation news, according to Deadline.

“Apple, while you are not ordering a season three, I made the show I wanted to make. Thank you for that. Cast, writers and crew, you have my gratitude. Walk off the set with Swagger. For our FAMbase, you lifted us in ways we could have never imagined. To the industry, don’t take your foot off the gas. Keep telling our stories,” Blythewood continued.
