What Netflix Has Canceled And Renewed

Though it was quite a while ago now, I’m sure that many of you will recall the good old days of having a Netflix subscription. There were only a handful of the best shows available, and it felt like they would all be there forever. Well, that now hilariously antiquated viewpoint might have been accurate in 2015, but it’s not now, as we are now firmly in a time when the service seems to cancel its original shows with unjustified speed and harshness, much to the collective chagrin of subscribers.

However, the granddaddy of streamers is still one of the biggest entertainment options in the world, and its library of exclusives (including additions to the 2023 Netflix TV schedule) expands on an almost daily basis, just daring us to ignore everything else and binge until our eyeballs pop out.

Because the streamer always has seemingly bigger and better content just around the corner, the growing number of in-production shows means even more series that only manage to see one or two seasons, sometimes despite what appears to be a lot of love and intense dedication from fans. Our updated rundown, below, notes how the current crop of originals are faring, from the majorly hyped hits already hard at work on new seasons, to the recently discovered gems that didn’t last nearly as long as viewers wanted.

There are several reasons why television shows get the ax (we’re seeing it happen more and more with streaming series), and though the impetus was different for each of these cancellations, the impact on die-hard fans remains the same. Here are all the Netflix series that were kicked to the curb in the past year or so.
