HBO has abandoned its plans of going ahead with Season 2 of "Vinyl" months after announcing the renewal of the drama.
"After careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with a second season of Vinyl," HBO said in a statement. "Obviously, this was not an easy decision. We have enormous respect for the creative team and cast for their hard work and passion on this project."
Olivia Wilde, who played the role of Devon Finestra in the series, also took to Twitter to describe her experience on the show's set as a "BLAST."
Thanks for all the kind words about Vinyl, my friends. We had a BLAST, and made something special. Party on. ❤️

The cancellation comes after showrunner Terence Winter was let go in April due to creative differences, with Scott Z. Burns set to replace him for season two.
"Vinyl," which was executive produced by Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese, also stars Ray Romano, James Jagger and Bobby Cannavale, who plays a 1970s record executive trying to keep his company afloat.
HBO renewed the series shortly after its first episode premiered in February. The premiere of the two-hour series averaged only 760,000 viewers without taking into account DVR playback.
"Vinyl's" cancellation also comes in the wake of the network's appointment of Casey Bloys, who replaced Michael Lombardo as the programming head.
The rock-and-roll drama is the latest HBO show to be canceled after being renewed for a second season. The network did the same with Jack Black-Tim Robbins comedy "The Brink" and also axed the Dustin Hoffman drama series "Luck" in the wake of a series of horse deaths during the filming of the show.
