According to a statement by FX last Tuesday, Diane Kruger's The Bridge has been canceled after only two seasons. The show had seen critical acclaim since its release, having earned a Peabody Award earlier this year for its portrayal of the relationship between police officers between the United States and Mexico - but this didn't keep Diane Kruger's The Bridge from being canceled.

Diane Kruger's The Bridge was released last year, and its premiere episode in 2013 pulled in 3.04 million viewers, but the series was unable to keep up those same numbers for as long as it went on.

By the time of the release of its second season last July, Diane Kruger's The Bridge pulled in 1.5 million viewers, which meant a considerable drop in ratings. According to the UK's Daily Mail, it also happened that the audience dropped dramatically among viewers of ages between 18 and 49, which is the most popular one for advertisers. There was a total drop in 33% viewership from the first season to the second one.

Diane Kruger's The Bridge centered on tensions in the Mexican-El Paso border, as officers from the two countries worked together to catch a serial killer that moved between the Mexican and American States. It is based on Swedish a series named "Bron," set in the border of Sweden and Denmark. The show's protagonists were Academy Award-nominated actor Demian Bichir and German-born Kruger, who is famous for roles such as Helen in "Troy."

The Los Angeles Times talked to John Landgraf, the chief executive of FX Networks, who said it was a "painful decision" as he personally loved the show, its cast and producers, but ultimately it wasn't going where it was supposed to, audience-wise - and, however good it was, Landgraf said it wasn't likely to win any awards in the future, other than the Peabody one mentioned earlier in this article.
