TheĀ American Odyssey has come to an end on NBC.

Executive Producer Peter Horton confirmed via Twitter on Tuesday night that the network has pulled the plug on his drama after a single disappointing season.

"As you all know we have bn canceled," Horton wrote. "Had we been on cable wld have bn a hit Thx to all of u for bing our audience #thebest #AmericanOdyssey."

The producer later added that the decision by NBC was "Heartbreaking" and said to the show's fans:

"You all have been the best. xo."

American Odyssey starred Anna Friel as Sgt. Odelle, a woman forced to make a dangerous trek through the Middle East.

It premiered on Easter to 5.4 million viewers and a 1.2 rating among 18-49-year olds. But ratings for its Sunday finale were barely one-third of those original figures.
