The One Direction alums reunited for a travel docuseries for the streaming platform in a surprise move; however, the chapter has now been closed amid reports of a physical altercation between the stars.

The source shared, "The decision to scrap the show has understandably left everyone involved disappointed."
"They worked really hard for over a year in production and it feels like a complete waste of everyone's time."
While not much was disclosed, it was confirmed that the pair had been filming a road trip across the US for a Netflix series.
Moreover, sources have claimed it could be "beyond damaging" for the Dusk Till Dawn crooner if the footage, which is currently in the possession of the production company holds, gets leaked.
