HBO has cancelled the Christopher Guest-created Family Tree and Stephen Merchant's Hello Ladies.

Merchant's comedy programme – which he created from his stand-up with The Office's Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky – will be back for a single one-off special, but a second season will not follow.



An airdate for the special has not been announced.

Hello Ladies starred Merchant as a man trying to find love in Los Angeles.

Family Tree was created by Guest and Jim Piddock, and featured the writer-director's frequent collaborators Michael McKean, Ed Begley Jr and Fred Willard.

Chris O'Dowd was the lead in Family Tree as an Englishman exploring his family's heritage in the US.
