Everything Netflix is Canceling in 2023
In many ways, Netflix isn’t like a regular TV network as most of its content is available immediately, rather than being drip-fed to viewers every week. The streaming service does act like other networks when it comes to canceling shows, though, and there aren’t many series that survive Netflix’s axe.
With many people having more time than ever to sit on the couch and watch Netflix, it’s time we all know where we stand with our favorite shows. Not all popular Netflix shows survive for long, and these are the shows on the streaming service that are being canceled and renewed.
Blockbuster (Canceled After 1 Season)
Netflix has decided not to renew Blockbuster, a new comedy series, for a second season. This is not surprising, as the show, which stars Randall Park and is set in a workplace, did not gain much traction after its debut on November 3rd and did not make it onto Netflix’s weekly Top 10 list. It is worth noting that due to Netflix’s ratings system, which is based on hours viewed, comedies may be at a disadvantage since their episodes are typically shorter than those of dramas or dramedies.
1899 (Canceled After 1 Season)
It has been confirmed that “1899” will not be renewed for a second season by Netflix. The news was announced by the series’ co-creator Baran bo Odar in a statement on his official Instagram account, which was also signed by his partner and co-creator Jantje Freise. In the statement, Odar expressed his disappointment about the cancellation and shared that he and Freise had hoped to continue the show for additional seasons, just as they had with “Dark.” He acknowledged that sometimes things do not go as planned and thanked the fans for their support.
Fate: The Winx Sage (Canceled After 2 Seasons)
Fate: The Winx Saga was a Netflix series that featured a more mature take on the popular cartoon about a school for fairies. The show followed the fairies as they learned to control their powers and fight against evil forces. Although it had a dedicated following, the show was not renewed for a third season by Netflix, which made the decision to cancel the show in November 2022. Showrunner Brian Young shared his disappointment about the cancellation on Instagram, expressing his appreciation for the fans who enjoyed the show.
The Imperfects (Canceled After 1 Season)
Netflix’s supernatural coming-of-age series The Imperfects was released on September 8th and was canceled two months later, meaning that it will not be returning for a second season. The show, which was created by Shelley Eriksen and Dennis Heaton, follows the story of three teenagers who are part of an experiment that gives them monstrous side effects. The trio teams up to find the scientist responsible for the experiment and a potential cure for their condition.
The Midnight Club (Canceled After 1 Season)
The Midnight Club, a series on Netflix, revolved around a group of teens who were terminally ill and living in a hospice. In order to cope with their difficult circumstances, they would tell scary stories to each other. The show featured actors like Samantha Sloyan and Zach Gilford, and was expected to have multiple seasons. However, Netflix ultimately decided to cancel the show after just one season. One potential reason for the cancellation could be that the show’s creator, Mike Flanagan, signed a new deal with Amazon Prime Video.
Warrior Nun (Canceled After 2 Seasons)
Fans were upset when the news of Warrior Nun’s cancellation was announced in mid-December. Despite the show’s popularity and its high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix decided not to renew it for a third season. According to Deadline, the decision was based on a comparison of the show’s viewing numbers versus its production cost. Showrunner Simon Barry expressed his appreciation for the support of the show’s fans and for the opportunity to be a part of the production in a tweet.
Squid Game (Renewed For Season 2)
Netflix has announced that it has renewed its popular series Squid Game for a second season. The renewal had been in the works for some time, and the show’s creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, and main cast had hinted that the series would be returning due to its success. In a letter to fans, Cheol-su confirmed the renewal and shared details about which characters will be returning and which new characters will be introduced in the second season.
Resident Evil (Canceled After 1 Season)
The Resident Evil franchise, which includes movies and video games, has a dedicated fan base. The story of mutated creatures taking over the world has been popular with fans in various mediums. The latest adaptation was a Netflix series, but it was not well-received by viewers and fell out of the top 10 list on Netflix. As a result, Netflix decided not to renew the show for another season.
The Watcher (Renewed For Season 2)
After a period of time without any new content from Ryan Murphy, Netflix subscribers were recently treated to two new series: DAHMER and The Watcher. Although it was not as popular as the other show, The Watcher has still been a success and has been renewed for a second season. The Watcher is a Netflix original thriller mystery series created by Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy, and is based on the 2018 New York article “The Cut” by Reeves Wiedeman.
Human Resources (Renewed for Season 2)
Human Resources, a spin-off series of Big Mouth, has been renewed for a second season. The show offers a unique perspective on the various creatures, such as Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, Shame Wizards, and Love Bugs, that influence every stage of human development, from childhood to pregnancy to retirement and beyond. These creatures are depicted as agents of chaos, but as the show suggests, life without a little chaos would be dull.
Dear White People (Canceled)
Dear White People, written and directed by Justin Simien who first released a feature film of the same name in 2014, is having its plug pulled after 4 seasons. The collegiate comedy-drama aimed to be poignant in a time of increased focus on race relations, but couldn’t sway viewers any longer.
Bling Empire (Renewed)
Bling Empire just premiered this year, but it’s already been renewed after gaining popularity for being compared to the movie Crazy Rich Asians, but in real life. The reality program follows several families of east Asian descent through their luxurious lives in Los Angeles. The action-packed series has attracted a vocal audience, so Bling Empire is coming back.
The Irregulars (Canceled)
Even though a famous British playwright in Tom Bidwell created this show based on characters created by the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes), the Baker St. Irregulars pairing up with Dr. Watson just wasn’t enough to keep even fans of the lore entertained. The eight episodes was all she wrote for this series.
Hoops (Canceled)
This adult animated comedy created by Ben Hoffman didn’t stand a chance, and ultimately was cancelled without even getting second season consideration. The story, which followed a disheveled coach and team who were equally hoping to turn their lives around, fell flat amongst its older targeted audience.
Atypical (Canceled)
This unique show, which followed an 18-year old autistic young man, and even began featuring autistic actors and writers to help bring more authenticity, is being halted after 4 successful seasons. Creator Robia Rashid received mostly praise for her ability to bring this disorder into focus, but also faced some controversy as to how the condition was being portrayed.
Elite (Renewed)
The Spanish teen drama features a ton of cool actors and actresses from across Spain and Latin America, and the mystery inducing thriller is here to stay. Netflix announced it’d be coming back for season 4 this year and season 5 in 2022. It’s safe to say both young and old have enjoyed it, and the show created by Carlos Montero and Dario Madrona is a success.
Lost In Space (Canceled)
If you didn’t know, Lost In Space was actually a reimagining of the original series, which premiered all the way back in 1965! And that series was also based on The Swiss Family Robinson book from 1812! However, 2021 wasn’t kind to the story, as it reached the chopping block after 3 seasons. It followed space explorers who drifted off course.
Emily In Paris (Renewed)
This newly blossoming series featuring Lily Collins as Emily only debuted in October 2020, but shortly after we learned we’d be back in Paris for season 2, as the show follows her as she navigates a French marketing firm from an American viewpoint. The comedy-drama has been a hit so far, and fans are hoping to be along for the ride much longer.
Peaky Blinders (Canceled)
This historical fiction drama has been a hit for nearly 8 years now, but the ending of the Shelby crime family story is upon us. Created by Steven Knight, the show follows the gangsters as they navigate the Birmingham, England area post-World War I. It also featured huge stars that will be missed, such as Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory, Joe Cole, and Paul Anderson.
The Witcher (Renewed)
Yet another extension in the Witcher franchise, this Netflix original developed by a Polish television company, and based on the book of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, is now such an anticipated new Netflix series, they renewed for season 2 before even premiering the first. The Medieval drama stars Henry Cavill and Freya Allan.
Kim’s Convenience (Canceled)
This wholesome sitcom that features a Korean-Canadian family that runs a convenience store is finally coming to an end. The Canadian based series is wrapping up after 5 seasons, and was ultimately a casualty of the pandemic. With the two creators leaving, the show never even ended up getting the sixth season that was originally promised. International TV can be tough.
Big Mouth (Renewed)
The adult coming-of-age sitcom is one of Netflix most popular animated series ever, and because of that we’re getting three more seasons on the horizon. Created by Andrew Goldberg and Nick Kroll, the series follows teens in suburban New York and their unflattering realization of puberty and how they navigate through it.
On My Block (Canceled)
Netflix’s teen comedy-drama On My Block is coming to the end of its tenure after this, its fourth and final season. The series featured a diverse cast and tackled growing up in your teenage years in the not-so-friendly suburbs of Los Angeles. This test of friendship had younger viewers pretty invested, but unfortunately they’ll have to see how the story line comes to a close.
I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson (Renewed)
Created, produced, and written by comedic genius Tim Robinson, this outrageous and extremely quirky sketch comedy became a smash hit, even though it only featured 6 episodes. The show, which stars a wide array of featured and cameoed cast members, brings some of the best comedians in some frankly very random skits. We could almost expect season 3 next.
The Duchess (Canceled)
This British comedy-drama series created by Katherine Ryan didn’t last more than its 6-episode pilot season, and unfortunately was not not invited to come back by the people at Netflix. Though Ryan starred in it herself, she just couldn’t pull off another royal family-style show to gain enough interest.
Ozark (Canceled)
While many of us were forced to stay inside watching Netflix, a whole new set of eyes were drawn to the Jason Bateman-led ‘Ozark.’ The crime drama became a huge hit during the lockdown, and this increased interest led to questions about the show’s future, but sadly season 4 will be the final season.
Anne With An E (Canceled)
Netflix picked up the Canadian drama series ‘Anne with an E,’ after its early success on CBC. The series was an adaptation of the children’s book ‘Anne of Green Gables,’ and season one was received well by the critics, but after a disappointing second, Netflix pulled the plug.
Dead To Me (Canceled)
The dark comedy Dead To Me will get a third season, but it will be its last. Featuring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, the show tells the story of two women who become friends during therapy. Filming for the new season is delayed due to Covid, but at least there’s closure.
Soundtrack (Canceled)
Since ‘Glee’ ended, there’s been a gap in the musical drama market, and expectations for ‘Soundtrack’ were high. The lip-syncing drama made its debut on Netflix in December 2019 with a 10-episode season, and even though it had ‘Step Up’ star Jenna Dewan among its cast, ‘Soundtrack’ received mixed reviews, and Netflix decided to cancel it.
Outer Banks (Renewed)
Outer Banks is the newest Netflix teen drama series to see resounding success after debuting in April, and it will be back again for a second season. Following teenagers in the aftermath of a hurricane in North Carolina, it features drama, twists, and suspense, attracting a wide audience.
Mortel (Canceled)
Supernatural drama ‘Mortel’ won’t be coming back for a second season after Netflix announced that it was canceled. The French-speaking series followed three teenagers trying to solve a homicide. Critics thought the series struggled to find the balance between audience and genre.
The Umbrella Academy (Renewed)
When the comic book adventure ‘The Umbrella Academy’ hit Netflix, it became an instant success, earning 45 million views in just a month. The series was the third-most viewed series on Netflix in 2019, and fans will be pleased to learn that ‘The Umbrella Academy’ will be coming back for a second season.
Messiah (Canceled)
The Netflix series ‘Messiah’ looked to question what would happen if someone showed up claiming to be the return of Jesus. The story was a mystery thriller where the main character’s case is closely followed by the CIA. However, it was canceled after failing to garner interest.
The Queen’s Gambit (Cancelled)
The Queen’s Gambit starring Anya Taylor-Joy was one of the most stellar recent series, but unfortunately Netflix elected to restrict the show to just a single season. For all the chess and coming of age story fans out there, this was a huge bummer.
The Kominsky Method (Canceled)
Unfortunately, the third season will be the last for The Kominsky Method, which starred Alan Arkin and Michael Douglas. The show deals with an aging acting coach who wants a last hoorah, but that’s what the shows getting as well as Netflix has decided to pull the plug.
Cobra Kai (Renewed)
Cobra Kai has received nothing but praises since Netflix decided to continue the “Karate Kid” saga, so it’s no surprise that right after season 3 began in 2021, a fourth season was announced. Fans rejoiced over the news, as it’s become one of the service’s most popular new shows.
October Faction (Canceled)
‘October Faction’ is the supernatural monster hunter series, but despite having the comic series as reference, ‘October Faction’ earned lackluster ratings from both the critics and viewers. Netflix decided to pull the plug on it sooner rather than later.
Bridgerton (Renewed)
Another show that’s burst into popularity is Bridgerton, which follows the eight children of an English royal family who are seeking love. The show was recently picked up for its second season in January, and will focus on the family’s eldest child, Anthony.
The Punisher (Canceled)
This series was a big hit, and it was hugely disappointing for fans to see the series cut short after just two seasons. It’s thought the reason why ‘The Punisher’ was canceled was due to Disney’s ownership of the Marvel franchise, and with all things Marvel heading to Disney Plus, ‘The Punisher’ may find another home somewhere other than Netflix.
Osmosis (Canceled)
Another of Netflix’s French series to face the axe was the sci-fi show ‘Osmosis.’ The story is set in a near-future Paris, where singletons agree to use their brain data to find their perfect match. While the series was considered a hit by some critics, Netflix decided to scratch the show.
Travelers (Canceled)

The Last Kingdom (Renewed)
The Last Kingdom will be back for season 5, and the Bernard Cornwell Saxon Stories continues to be a hit with Netflix audiences.

Queer Eye (Renewed)
In just a few short years, there have already been five seasons of the hit makeover series ‘Queer Eye.’ Fans of the show will rejoice to discover that it’s going to be coming back for a sixth season, this time fixing people’s fashion errors in Austin, Texas.
AJ and the Queen (Canceled)
While RuPaul might have dominated the drag queen world, the character he plays is a down-on-her-luck drag queen. And while most things that RuPaul touches turn to gold, this series is the rare exception, and Netflix has decided one season was enough.
Never Have I Ever (Renewed)
Created by Mindy Kaling, known for her role as Kelly Kapoor on The Office, Never Have I ever is a comedy and coming of age story that stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as a young Kaling. She and the other actors announced the show’s renewal on a Zoom call, published on Instagram July 1st.
One Day At A Time (Canceled)

Tuca and Bertie (Moving)
Adult animated comedy ‘Tuca and Bertie’ gained a passionate following after the first season was released on Netflix in 2019. The show received strong reviews from critics but low viewing figures. Accusations that Netflix failed to market it well led to it being picked up on a different platform.
Virgin River (Renewed)

Friends From College (Canceled)
Netflix might have thought it had a winning formula when it brought the star-studded comedy ‘Friends From College’ to its service. The story follows a group of friends in their 40s who all met in college and even though it got through two seasons, it won’t be returning to Netflix for a third.
No Good Nick (Canceled)
Netflix brought the comedy-drama series ‘No Good Nick’ to our screens in 2019, but it didn’t survive 2020. The series was about a young girl who infiltrates a family to get revenge, but while the premise was interesting, critics felt as though the show failed Netflix’s audiences.

German sci-fi thriller ‘Dark’ has become a big hit for Netflix since it debuted on the streaming service in 2017. There have been two successful seasons so far, and the showrunner, Baran bo Odar, posted that a third season was in the works via his Instagram. However it will be its last.
Love Is Blind (Renewed)
The latest reality TV hit is ‘Love is Blind,’ which sees men and women find love without ever laying eyes on their partners. Fans couldn’t get enough of the series that saw daters propose and get married on our screens. Netflix feels like it’s got a winner, and two more seasons have been commissioned.
The Circle (Renewed)
Netflix’s ‘The Circle’ brought people together through an imagined social media where they could either be themselves or pretend to be someone else. The show was based on the British version, and Netflix announced it was renewed for at least two more seasons, with season two expected in 2021.

It looks as though ‘Designated Survivor’ isn’t going to survive being canceled for a second time. The former ABC series was saved after its first cancellation when Netflix picked it up, but now Netflix has swung the axe. Keifer Sutherland and the cast won’t be returning for a fourth season.
Grace and Frankie (Canceled)

Easy (Canceled)
Fans of the comedy-drama ‘Easy’ will be disappointed to learn that the show won’t be returning this year for a fourth season. Netflix’s adult-themed series earned plenty of fans through its three seasons, and the script kept people guessing since the content was character specific.
Locke and Key (Renewed)
The series debuted on Netflix in February 2020 and gained plenty of fans through its mysterious keys and demons. ‘Locke and Key’ is a reimagining of a haunted house horror with some teen issues and storylines thrown in. After just one month, Netflix announced the series would be renewed.
You (Renewed)
Netflix’s psychological thriller ‘You’ became a big hit with fans around the world, despite the main character’s stalking tendencies. That’s all part of the show’s charm, and it seems viewers can look forward to being creeped out by Joel Badgely’s character for a third season in 2021.
The Haunting of Hill House (Renewed)
The series, which is based loosely on Shirley Jackson’s novel of the same name, has been renewed by Netflix for a second season. ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ began streaming on Netflix in October 2018, and the latest series is expected to keep returning.

She’s Gotta Have It (Canceled)
Spike Lee’s comedy series ‘She’s Gotta Have It,’ was delivered a blow by Netflix after the streaming service canceled the show less than two months after season two premiered. Despite the critics being in favor of the series, Netflix wasn’t, and it announced its intentions to cancel.
Chambers (Canceled)
Despite having big names like Uma Thurman on board, the supernatural horror series ‘Chambers’ fell flat upon its release in 2019. The series received average ratings from critics, but Netflix felt as though its viewership figures simply didn’t justify making another season.
The Crown (Ended)
Fans of biopic ‘The Crown’ will be gearing up to say goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II when the final season wraps in the near future. Olivia Colman was the most recent actress to step into Queen Elizabeth II’s shoes, and Imelda Staunton is due to take over as the Queen in her later life.

Netflix confirmed that the second season will also be the last of the teen drama.
The Rain (Canceled)
Danish post-apocalyptic drama ‘The Rain’ has been granted a third season by Netflix. The story focuses on the aftermath of a deadly rain that infects the people of Scandinavia with a virus, almost wiping out the entire population. Clearly the topic of disease is a hit amongst viewers.
Daybreak (Canceled)
After a single season, Netflix’s teen post-apocalyptic drama ‘Daybreak’ has been given the chop. The vibrant show was based on a comic book of the same name, and there were high hopes for the series that starred Colin Ford. ‘Daybreak’ was generally received well by the critics, but fans didn’t seem to be as in love with the series, and so there won’t be a second.
The OA (Canceled)
Mystery drama ‘The OA’ is one of those TV shows that Netflix was happy to give the creative reins to someone and let them do their thing. That someone was Brit Marling, who not only helped create the show, she also starred in it. After two seasons of the mystery drama hitting the streaming service, Netflix has canceled ‘The OA’ so there won’t be a third season.
The Ranch (Canceled)
Ashton Kutcher knows his way around a sitcom, and he led ‘The Ranch’ alongside his ‘That ‘70s Show’ co-star Danny Masterson. The series enjoyed four 20-episode seasons on Netflix before the streaming service wrapped things up.The final 10 episodes of the series launched in January as we said goodbye to the show that was launched in 2016.
Fuller House (Canceled)
The family-friendly sitcom was well-received upon its return to our screens by fans of the original series, even if the critics didn’t fully support it. There were plenty of plots to explore now that the Fullers had all grown up, and Netflix managed to bring five seasons of ‘Fuller House’ to our screens. ‘Fuller House’ aired its final season last June.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Canceled)
Although it remained a hit with the critics throughout its four seasons, ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ is being canceled. The show brought four fun seasons to Netflix, and there were hopes that ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ would continue after an interactive special. Unfortunately, that was the last we will hear from Kimmy Schmidt as the story is now officially over.
Santa Clarita Diet (Canceled)
Zombies are big business in television, and the comedy series ‘Santa Clarita Diet’ brought a fresh approach to the genre. Despite building a strong following throughout its three seasons, Netflix decided a fourth season wasn’t on the cards for ‘Santa Clarita Diet.’ Sadly Netflix wasn’t interested, and less than a month after the third season premiered, the streaming service made the cancelation official.
GLOW (Finishing)
Those TV fans who missed the big hair and bright colors of the 1980s got it in truckloads when the wrestling drama ‘GLOW’ hit screens in 2017. The series, starring Betty Gilpin, Marc Maron, and Alison Brie, was critically acclaimed and has run for three seasons. There will be a conclusion to the stories of our favorite characters as Netflix confirmed ‘GLOW’ would be returning for a conclusive fourth season.
Lucifer (Canceled)
Fantasy drama ‘Lucifer’ was initially a big hit for Fox when it debuted back in 2016. The series continued on Fox for three seasons before Netflix bought the rights.

Orange Is The New Black (Canceled)
One of Netflix’s first hits from its original contest team was the comedy-drama ‘Orange Is the New Black.’ The series launched in 2013 and became an instant hit with audiences, gaining a ton of loyal fans to the franchise. After its seventh season aired in 2019, Netflix announced that it would be the end of the series. Even though things were wrapping up after seven years, the final season received plenty of great reviews from critics and fans alike.
Bojack Horseman (Canceled)
Adult animated series BoJack Horseman won’t be returning to Netflix with a new season afte airing its sixth and final season last January. The comedy stars Will Arnett as BoJack, a washed-up Hollywood has-been who is trying, desperately, to get his career back on track. One thing the show was praised for was dealing with mental health and social problems in a realistic way without sugar-coating the message.
Jessica Jones (Canceled)
Another Netflix series that suffered due to Disney’s acquisition of Marvel was ‘Jessica Jones.’ The series took a darker approach to telling a comic book story, and it was one that the fans loved. Fans of the female hero may have thought Jones was going to be around for a long time, but now they will be crossing their fingers Disney continues the story.
