Fans were shocked when FOX announced that STAR, which marked Daniels’ second on the network after Empire, was ending after its third season and Daniels even said he was putting up a fight.

Well Daniels has decided to throw in the towel after 2 long days of fighting!
The producer/creator hit instagram on Thursday to reveal that his efforts didn’t work, stating:
Okay… So I got some bad news. It ain’t happening. I tried my best guys. You know, we got some incredible people. I mean… I can’t even list everybody. I’ll say it in a letter. But in a nutshell, it ain’t happening. I did my best.
Just know that like with Precious and Empire, that first season… The Butler, Monster’s Ball… the next thing I do is gonna be Star. So I exist and it will exist in all of my work. I love you all and the fans that have supported us.
