Marvel's Inhumans won't see a second season.
As reported by TVLine, ABC has canceled the show after just one season, which spanned a total of eight episodes. For the majority of its run, Marvel's Inhumans averaged a 0.6 rating and viewer count of 2.65 million. For its final two episodes, the show dropped to a 0.5 rating and 1.95 million viewers.
