A high-profile flop for Baz Lurhmann and Netflix.

Baz Luhrmann’s big budget hip-hop and disco drama The Get Down has been canceled by Netflix after just one season, Variety reports.

The Get Down premiered in August 2016, but managed just 3.2 million viewers in its first 31 days – roughly one-fifth of the amount that season four of the hit Netflix series Orange is the New Black pulled in over its first month.

Luhrmann said in a Facebook post that he didn’t have enough time to devote to the series, and would be focusing on film again.

“When I was asked to come to the centre of The Get Down to help realise it, I had to defer a film directing commitment for at least two years. This exclusivity has understandably become a sticking point for Netflix and Sony, who have been tremendous partners and supporters of the show. It kills me that I can’t split myself into two and make myself available to both productions

“But the simple truth is, I make movies. And the thing with movies is, that when you direct them, there can be nothing else in your life. Since The Get Down stopped, I have actually been spending the last few months preparing my new cinematic work…”

Luhrmann’s planned epic was reportedly plagued by production problems from the start. Over its two-and-a-half year development, the show went through two showrunners and several writers, eventually costing over $120 million to make.

Each episode of the show went over the original budget of $7.5 million, and ended up being the most expensive Netflix production ever.

The series featured Shameik Moore, Justice Smith, Jaden Smith and Jimmy Smits and had a star-studded soundtrack that included Nas, Miguel, Christina Aguilera, Zayn, Nile Rodgers and Grandmaster Flash.

The Get Down’s high-profile failure mirrors that of Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger’s ‘70s-set music drama Vinyl, which was canceled by HBO last year after just one season.
