While Variety have not yet confirmed the reason why the streamer have cancelled the show, it will be baffling to fans.
In addition to spending days at the top of Netflix's most watched list - the show also received an impressive score of 76 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and 7.5 on IMDb.
Perrineau played Eurydice in the show, and starred alongside Goldblum's Zeus, Killian Scott's Orpheus, and Nabhaan Rizwan's Dionysus.
When asked about the possibility of further seasons, creator Charlie Covell said: "The idea is three seasons in total. So, that's what I have kind of in my brain... I would love to do more.
“There's lots of things forming. I've got an idea of what the plot is.
“But no, there's no script, just lots of fevered documents and stuff that only I would probably understand at this point. But the main story is clear in my head."
In a post, which Perrineau since been taken down, she said: "Well… this one hurts.
"I find explaining how I’m feeling to be really difficult, but I’ll try.
"When I started auditioning for this show, I knew it was special, mainly due to the fact that Charlie Covell’s scripts resonated with me in a way most things hadn’t. I knew all of these people, and I loved them all — every flaw, everything.
"For one of the first times in my life, I have found myself really proud. I’m, of course, proud of everyone’s work and the care they gave to this project, because, let me tell you, they left everything on the floor.
"But I’ve also found myself proud of me, and that is something I’ve struggled with.
"When I got cast, I couldn’t believe that someone SAW me. A girl who’s not only a minority but also a survivor of SA — and you’re telling me that someone thinks I could be one of the leads of a show, have agency, my own mission, and be desirable enough to be the love interest to not only one amazing human but two?
"I was worthy of that?
"Everything that happened from that point forward really changed my perspective.”
