Streaming service Peacock has decided to ditch the show three months on from the first season finale despite looking promising to be the next big thing.
The show’s creator, Julie Plec, previously built up the hype around the programme by teasing that it was a concoction of both The Hunger Games and Bridgerton.
One of the show’s leading stars, Jonetta Kaiser, has spoken out after the cancellation admitting that it has created a ‘scary’ experience for actors.
In a lengthy post on Instagram, she wrote: “So Vampire Academy has been cancelled..
“The thing is, if you’re an actor, you know that although this is such an exciting time to be part of the industry because of all the countless streaming services aka opportunities, it’s also scary because most shows now get the boot after just one season.
“This can be a tough industry to be part of but we all do it because we love it.”
The actress further admitted she hoped it was not completely the end for the show suggesting there is potential for the show to be picked up elsewhere for another go around.
She added: “Here’s to hoping it’s not totally the end but even if it is I’m grateful to have had the life changing opportunity to play Sonya Karp and gain the support of so many kind fans all over the world.”
The series is based on a number of novels by Rochelle Mead and is the second time it has been adapted for screen after a 2014 film of the same name was produced.
Ex Tracy Beaker actress Mia McKenna-Bruce held a starring role in the new rebooted Peacock series which received generally positive reviews before it was dumped by the streamer.
Peacock appear to have followed suit on its rival Netflix who have also recently axed a whole host of shows.
Neil Patrick Harris saw his romantic comedy Uncoupled dumped from the platform after just one series.
Animations including Dead End: Paranormal Park and Inside Job also got thrown out by Netflix leaving fans creating petitions in order for it to return.

Doc Martin fans ‘gutted’ as last ever series of Martin Clunes drama kicks off with top episode
DOC Martin fans have been left devastated as the beginning of the end of the cosy drama began last night.
The Martin Clunes drama, a fixture on ITV for 18 years, aired its last ever series opener.
And it was all the more painful for fans who have to say goodbye because the consensus was that it was a cracker.
The show – starting Clunes as the doctor with precious few social skills – is going to play out for the remainder of the year.
There will be an episode every Wednesday then the show will bow out for good with an ITV Christmas special.
Last night we saw Martin battling to get reinstated as a doctor so he could treat patient Abigail, played by Fay Ripley.
Abigail was found asleep in her car, unaware she had myasthenia gravis, sparking the Doc into action.

One fan wrote: “How can you tell us this must be the end of Doc Martin? In this mad world it’s just made my evening!”
Another added: “So glad #DocMartin is back! It’s just a shame that it’s the last series because I’d love to watch try and raise his daughter.”
A third tweeted: “It’s very to see its final series but I’ll watch repeat over and over again.”
Another hailed the episode, posting: “Omg Doc Martin was amazing as ever!!! So glad it is back. Love Martin Clunes.”
Countless others spoke at their confusion that the show is coming to an end when it is on such good form.

Martin Clunes has explained that the show feared having to go over the same material after 80 episodes.
Speaking on Lorraine, he said: “All good things have to come to an end.
“And I’m sure there are lots of people who aren’t fans of the show who think it’s terribly repetitive anyway, but we’re at huge pains not to repeat ourselves.
“I just think we’ve sort of done everything. I mean, it would be so great to just sort of carry on, but I don’t think we can keep it as good.”
More recently, he added: “I mean it is sad, but it’s not really. It’s the right time.
“I think everyone will probably appreciate it is time to finish. But it feels like a really good time to finish.”
