NBC’s State of Affairs has been cancelled after its freshman season.

The show, starring former Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl as a CIA analyst, made a respectable debut, based largely upon Heigl’s name recognition, according to Deadline.

Despite the network giving the show their best time slot, on Monday nights behind the popular singing competition The Voice, the ratings continued to drop. Other shows, including The Blacklist, have done well in this slot, however State of Affairs simply could not get enough viewers to merit it being renewed for a second season.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that three other freshman shows are being cancelled, including: Constantine, which may be picked up by another network, Marry Me, and One Big Happy. About a Boy, which just wrapped its second season, has also been cancelled.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the State of Affairs only averaged “8 million viewers and a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49 this season, and that includes seven days of DVR playback.” The drama ended with just 4.5 million viewers, and a serious cliff-hanger.

NBC has picked up several drama series, including: Chicago Med, the Chicago Fire/P.D. spin-off, Heartbreaker, and Blindspot. They also scored several comedies, including: People are Talking, Superstore, and Crowded.
