Netflix has left fans devastated by scrapping a beloved series after just one season – despite a string of rave reviews. 

Comic book series Scott Pilgrim vs The World hit screens last year and boasted an impressive score of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. 

The animated series, which is based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novels, saw Michael Cera return to the тιтle role with Mary Elizabeth Winstead voicing Ramona Flowers.

To date the girl of his dreams, the slacker and aspiring musician has to defeat her even evil exes.

The synopsis for the Netflix show, which has been hailed by fans at the time as the ‘best’ anime on the platform, teased: ‘Then things get even more complicated.’

The reboot of the cult classic film featured the entire cast from the original live action movie, with the likes of Alison Pill, Anna Kendrick, Brie Larson, Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza, Ellen Wong, Jason Schwartzman, Satya Bhabha and Kieran Culkin all back.

The show was a hit with critics and fans, but Bryan has made it clear there will be no more episodes.

Taking to X, he wrote: ‘It’s been one year since Scott Pilgrim Takes Off came out. It was an honour to work with all of the cast and staff around the world. It was like conducting a symphony orchestra every day.

‘From the moment [co-creator] Ben David Grabinski sparked the idea, the project felt like a one of a kind miracle.

‘Anyway, we were recently informed that the show will NOT return.

‘As you know, we only intended one season, and called in a lot of favours to make it happen, so making more would have been nearly impossible.

‘Still, I know some of you have been holding out hope.’   

Though fans are disappointed that the series won’t be returning, he previously insisted the programme was intended as a ‘self-contained’ story and the team didn’t ‘have any ideas lying on the floor’.

Last year, Bryan told Rolling Stones: ‘We pretty much put them all in. I never say never, but right now, it seems like it would take about 50 different miracles simultaneously for another season to happen.

‘I don’t make any plans in general. Maybe some day one of us will text each other an idea that’s really great for a season two.
