10 Netflix Shows That Were Canceled After One Season

Ever since Netflix decided to move from DVD rentals into the streaming world, things have never been the same. Since then, Netflix has invented and perfected the art of binge-watching through the hundreds of original series they put out year after year. In addition, they have given several shows a home that would not have ever found one on traditional television networks.

Netflix certainly lives up to its tagline “see what’s next” by constantly uploading new content. Determined to be the home of the next big hit, Netflix has a history of canceling fan-favorite shows after only one season without ever explaining why.

The series received high praise from critics for its innovative storytelling and music, but even the rave reviews weren’t enough to save The Get Down.

In typical Netflix fashion, all ten episodes of the first season were released in October 2019, and by December 2019 the series had been canceled. The series became notable for its ability to break the fourth wall in the same vein as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

6 The Society (2019)

Another Netflix teen show to get the boot after only one season is The Society, a teen mystery created by Christopher Keyser.

The series follows the teenagers as they try and survive without their parents while also trying to discover why they disappeared.

The series centered on two 30-year-old bird best friends who live in Bird Town and are navigating their everchanging lives. Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish lend their voices to the main characters, but even their comedy chops couldn’t save the show from its cancellation.
