"Hey #counterpart fans, a bit of sad news... Starz has decided not to pick up our show for a 3rd season," Marks said.
"It's been an absolute dream for this team... we got to make EXACTLY the show we wanted to... perfect cast, perfect crew on 2 continents... and we're so grateful to our network for the time we had," he continued.
Marks also hinted that studio MRC is looking for a new home for the series.
