Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, an adaptation of The Da Vinci Code author’s 2009 novel, will not have a second season of its television series. Deadline has confirmed the news. The show ended with 10 episodes, and the last episode was released on Nov.18, 2021 via Peacock.
The Lost Symbol is an American action-adventure and mystery-thriller television series. It serves as the prequel of The Da Vinci Code. Based on the novel of the same name, the series features a story of the main character Robert Langdon. He is hired by the CIA to solve a number of deadly puzzles when his mentor goes missing. To save his mentor, Langdon works with his mentor’s daughter and other allies. Together, they solve mysteries, break down secret codes, and combat other challenges.
Peacock responded to the cancellation in a statement to Deadline. “We were so proud to bring this action-packed mystery thriller to our members and enjoyed watching this compelling series unfold with a satisfying, complete story,” said the streamer on Monday. “We’re grateful to Dan Dworkin, Jay Beattie, Dan Brown, Brian Grazer and Ron Howard along with CBS Studios, Imagine Television and UTV for bringing this international bestselling novel to life.”

Other cast members include Valorie Curry (The Following, The Tick), Eddie Izzard (Stay Close, The Riches), Beau Knapp (Death Wish), and Sumalee Montano (E.R.). The series was produced by CBS Studios, Imagine Television Studios and Universal Television.
On November 8, the NBC network aired an episode of the Peacock original for the first time. The sole season of The Lost Symbol will continue to be available on Peacock.
