BET has announced its hit series Being Mary Jane, starring Gabrielle Union, has been cancelled.

The popular series will end with a 2-hour movie special in 2018. Interestingly enough, fans of the series might remember this is how it started.

“Being Mary Jane has been a landmark series for not only BET, but for African American women around the world who saw themselves in Mary Jane, her family, friends and coworkers, EVP and Head of Programming at BET Networks, Connie Orlando, said in a statement. “From the captivating storytelling, to the richly complex characters, to the powerful issues tackled on the series, we remain immensely proud."

Orlando went on to thank the cast and crew for their hard work.

“We are grateful to the cast and creators of ‘Being Mary Jane,’ who have worked tirelessly to bring this world to vivid life over the past 4 seasons. We also thank the many loyal viewers whose hearts and minds were captured every week, and kept Mary Jane trending worldwide. We look forward to closing out Mary Jane’s journey with a series finale that is sure to blow fans away!”

It’s not clear why the show is cancelled considering it’s been extremely popular since it first debuted in 2013.

Union took to Instagram to speak on the network’s decision.

 To Every Fan of Being Mary Jane, We have all worked so tirelessly to bring you a show that we could be proud to be a part of. Mary Jane has become my favorite character. We've screwed up together, laughed together, evolved together, and raised hell together. I love all her imperfections, and through playing her I became more forgiving of others who are imperfect and on the journey of self discovery and improvement. We watched her struggle with relationships with both men and women, and we watched her finally start to get her shit together. But the journey isn't over yet. We, as a Being Mary Jane family, cannot wait to bring you this final 2 hour series finale movie that will answer all your questions about each and every character. More than anything, however, we want to thank you with every fiber of our being for faithfully watching the show and supporting our work... from the actors, writers, producers, directors and enormous crew over the years, we are humbled and we remain grateful. Thank you!
