“Ratched” has been canceled after one season at Netflix, according to the series’ star Sarah Paulson.

In a video posted on X, Paulson was asked by a fan whether the show, which initially was greenlit with a two-season order, would return for its second season, to which she replied: “No.”

A spokesperson for Netflix did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment.

“Ratched” is set in the 1940s and centers on the professional beginnings for a young version of the villainous Nurse Ratched, who originated in the 1962 Ken Kesey novel, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”
