Netflix has swung the axe on “Inside Job,” the adult-animation conspiracy comedy, after one season, according to creator Shion Takeuchi.

Takeuchi, who was a writer on “Gravity Falls,” announced the cancellation Sunday evening on Twitter.

“I’m heartbroken to confirm that Netflix has decided to cancel season 2 of ‘Inside Job,'” Takeuchi wrote. “Over the years, these characters have become real people to me, and I am devastated not to be able to watch them grow up.”

“Inside Job,” comprising 10 episodes, stars Lizzy Caplan, Christian Slater and Clark Duke. The series, a sendup of dramas like “The X-Files,” premiered on Netflix in October 2021. The animated comedy is about the shadow government — and the dysfunctional team whose daily grind is committing the world’s conspiracies.

The series unfolds in the offices of Cognito Inc., an organization within the shadow government, and follows anti-social tech genius Reagan Ridley (Caplan) who, with her partner Brett Hand (Duke), works to uncover the infinite secrets of the world hidden in the shadows. Despite her optimism, Reagan faces constant hurdles on the way to her dream promotion including her unhinged, conspiracy-mongering father (Slater) and irresponsible coworkers.
