The Bletchley Circle has reportedly been axed by ITV.
The period drama, starring Anna Maxwell-Martin, Rachael Stirling and Julie Graham, was set in the early 1950s and focused on four women who worked at the wartime code-breaking centre Bletchley Park.
Cast members including Julie Graham have retweeted the news of the axing, and encouraged viewers to protest the decision.
A second series of the drama aired earlier this year, with the broadcaster describing The Bletchley Circle as a "wonderful addition to our drama slate" when announcing the new run in May 2013.
ITV's Director of Drama Commissioning Steve November added at the time: "We're delighted that it's returning to ITV with two new and exciting stories."
