A Gifted Man has reportedly been cancelled by CBS.



The drama's star Patrick Wilson revealed on Twitter that he had received an email confirming the axe.

"So…shocking to no one, [A Gifted Man] is done," he wrote. "Found out via email…and not from the network. Stay classy. Thanks to AGM fans! Great cast/crew!"

He later said that he "couldn't be happier" by the cancellation, adding, "As good as it was (sometimes) it was not what I signed on for."

A Gifted Man premiered on CBS last September, with what proved to be its series finale airing on March 2 after 16 episodes.

CBS has picked up several new dramas and sitcoms for the 2012-13 season, including a modern-day retelling of Sherlock Holmes titled Elementary.

The network has also renewed Two and a Half Men for a tenth run.

Patrick Wilson will appear in Ridley Scott's upcoming sci-fi Prometheus, which is released on June 1 in the UK and June 8 in the US.
