Over the years, Netflix has developed an (unwanted) reputation for being pretty quick to cancel shows. The streaming service certainly isn’t afraid to axe a series after just a single season if it doesn’t find a larger enough viewership right out of the gate.
I was writing about this “issue” in 2021, and in the years since, if anything, Netflix’s reputation for trigger-happy cancelations has only become more pronounced. And the platform certainly won’t be shedding that rep in 2025, as the last few months have already seen a skew of shows being canceled, including big original bets like “The Residence” and “Pulse.”
