Apparently two seasons is all fans of Alphas will ever get. Syfy officially confirmed they’ve canceled the series, despite its passionate fan base.

Says the network: “Syfy has decided not to renew Alphas for a third season. We’ve been proud to present this entertaining, high-quality series for two seasons and to work with an incredible ensemble of talented actors, producers, and creatives as well as our partners at BermanBraun Television. We’d like to thank the show’s dedicated regular viewers for their tremendous support.”

The series starred David Strathairn, Malik Yoba, Warren Christie, Azita Ghanizada, Ryan Cartwright, and Laura Mennell and featured a team of ordinary people with superhuman physical and mental abilities (called ‘Alphas’) who solved cases together.

Responding to the news, Azita Ghanizada tweeted:

“Sad to say that ALPHAS will not be returning. What an honor to get to play Rachel for 2years & to work w/ & for the MOST AMAZING PEOPLE EVER”

Malik Yoba tweeted:

“Sad but true fam! #Alphas is done! No season 3! But we love you all for helping us have 2!! We all just keep on reaching!!”

And Ryan Cartwright posted a simple tweet:

“Unfortunately #Alphas is cancelled :( “
