A Bizarre Look Behind Netflix Series That Never Got Made Despite Millions Of Dollars Being Poured Into It

Most know by now that Netflix has a tendency to cancel shows -- some of which manage to hook audiences during their runs. Following the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike this month, five shows from the streaming series were axed. The folks behind those productions should consider themselves lucky, though, because there are some series that enter production but ultimately don't see the light of day. On that note, the public now has a bizarre insight into one series on the mega streamer that had millions of dollars poured into it but was never completed.

Filmmaker Carl Erik Rinsch is known for directing action movie 47 Ronin. His sole movie ended up being the biggest box office bomb of 2013 and received negative reviews. As it so happens though, Rinsch was more recently looking to enter the TV sphere. According to The NY Times, he was set to have a series that would be part of the Netflix TV schedule, but it never reached streaming due to a wild sequence of events. He and his wife, Gabriela Rosés Bentancor, were working on a passion project of theirs called Conquest.
