A source familiar with Peacock’s decision to cancel “The Lost Symbol,” which will continue to be available for streaming on the NBCUniversal-owned platform, says Peacock and producers believed that the series adaptation of the book told the complete story of the source material.

“The Lost Symbol” stars Ashley Zukerman (“Succession”), Valorie Curry (“Blair Witch”), Sumalee Montano (“10 Cloverfield Lane”), Rick Gonzalez (“Arrow”), Eddie Izzard (“Ocean’s Thirteen”) and Beau Knapp (“Seven Seconds”).

“We were so proud to bring this action-packed mystery thriller to our members and enjoyed watching this compelling series unfold with a satisfying, complete story,” Peacock said in a statement to Variety. “We’re grateful to Dan Dworkin, Jay Beattie, Dan Brown, Brian Grazer and Ron Howard along with CBS Studios, Imagine Television and UTV for bringing this international bestselling novel to life.”

“The Lost Symbol” is executive produced by writers Dan Dworkin and Jay Beattie, along with Brown, Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Samie Kim Falvey, Anna Culp, John Weber and Frank Siracusa. Dan Trachtenberg executive produced and directed the pilot.

The drama hails from CBS Studios, Imagine Television Studios and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
