THR reported the official announcement by executive producer Arvind Ethan David, who stated that the efforts to persuade Netflix (who distributed the series internationally) to finance a third season of Dirk Gently had fallen through.
Dirk Gently was not quite so beloved, however, averaging slightly less than 250,000 viewers per episode during its second season.
The show also lacked the support of Adams’ purists, who largely preferred the original 2010 Dirk Gently series produced by ITV Studios, despite the insistence of executive producer Max Landis that the BBC America series was truer to the spirit of the original books even though it was set in America.
The eclectic series was canceled by BBC America in December, following a slow but steady decline in ratings from a disappointingly received first season.
