A source involved with the production of the A&E crime drama claims that a second season will not transpire, People reports.
The Ghost star filmed 13 episodes of the series last summer while he underwent treatment for pancreatic cancer, and had been unable to promote the show when he dealt with a bout of pneumonia in January.
"He had challenges while he was working because he was still doing chemo and it wasn't always easy but in spite of all of that, he'd suit up and show up," his wife Lisa Niemi said. "He was always there."
The actor, 56, had also received praise for his professionalism from co-stars.
A rep for A&E said "no decision has been made" regarding the future of the show. Swayze’s rep had no comment. The last episode of The Beast aired on April 23.
