Throughout the streaming era, many great productions have emerged that don’t receive the ending they deserve, and here we bring you a list of 6 controversial Netflix cancellations that left stories incomplete and fans disappointed.
1. 1899 (Cancelled in 2023): This mystery and science fiction series was cancelled after its first season. Despite excellent initial viewership numbers, less than a third of the audience reached the final episode, which for the platform means there’s no guarantee that viewers will watch a second season, making it unfeasible to finance such a project.
2. The OA (Cancelled in 2019): The cancellation of this science fiction drama sparked one of the largest protest campaigns demanding its return. However, the loyal fanbase was too small to justify the budget increase demanded by the contractual clauses for its third instalment.
3. Santa Clarita Diet (Cancelled in 2019): This dark zombie comedy was cancelled after three seasons because high production costs, including the salaries of Hollywood stars Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, were no longer attracting more subscribers to the platform.
4. Sense8 (Cancelled in 2017): This science fiction drama was cancelled after its second season due to its exorbitant international filming costs, $9 million per episode, which exceeded its viewership revenue. Fan outrage forced Netflix to produce a two-hour movie to wrap up the storyline.

5. The Society (Cancelled in 2020): Although this mystery series had already been renewed for a second season, filming complications and cost overruns due to the pandemic led the platform to reverse its decision and cancel it abruptly.
6. Anne with an E (Cancelled in 2019): Despite its high viewership, this period drama was cancelled due to the breakdown of the co-production deal between Netflix and CBC, which abandoned the series, refusing to support an industry competitor. Fans created petitions with millions of signatures that were ignored.
