Apparently, the decision was made by the man who created the show and whose life it is based on. The entire cast was expecting another season and are still angry about it being cancelled.

Simu Liu, who plays Jung, will be playing Shang-Chi, the lead character in the Marvel universe movie, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” Good for him.

It wasn’t Paul’s decision, it was the CBC’s, he was blindsided by the cancellation just as we were; he has said he now doesn’t want to continue because of how the CBC just casually dumped the show with no warning, really left a bitter taste.

The store that was used for exterior shots has also been put up for sale, so that might have been a factor in the CBC’s decision.

Unless someone at the CBC comes out and talks publicly about the why, I don’t think we will ever know the real reason why it was canned.
