Netflix’s Terrible Decisions for Canceling shows

By Eduardo Galindo

Netflix’s recent cancellation of over 20 shows this past year has sparked anger among fans. The decision to cancel these shows by Netflix have even made people buy billboards and planes in order to get Netflix to reverse their decision. Some of these shows were also on Netflix’s top ten of the week with millions of views on the show, leaving many fans confused as to why these decisions to cancel shows were made.

Many shows have reached a spot on Netflix’s top ten shows. For instance, Warrior Nun reached the top ten for three weeks, with over 25 million hours watched. Warrior Nun was a show that many people had not expected to be canceled. With news of canceling the show people desperately wanted Netflix to continue the show. The fans of this show have even bought billboards to get the attention of Netflix and to make them rethink their decision. So far they have been unsuccessful, Netflix still hasn’t announced anything about another season or a continuation of any kind. Other shows have brought the same reaction as Warrior Nun where fans would buy billboards for Netflix to continue the show. Shadowhunters is a supernatural show that Netflix paid for while Constantin Films produced the show. The show had a lot of popularity, so when Netflix decided to stop the funding of the show, fans tried their best to keep the show running. Some bought billboards in Times Square and flew a plane over Netflix HQ with the message “#save-shadowhunters”. Unfortunately, Netflix did not change their mind even with the incredible showing of the fans’ work. 

It seems like Netflix decides at random which shows it chooses to continue and which they cancel. Even if it is popular and in the top ten, there is still a chance it can get canceled. Fans are outraged at Netflix as it doesn’t make sense why Netflix would cancel shows when there are people willing to buy planes to continue these shows. The reason why Shadowhunters was canceled was due to Netflix deciding it was too expensive to keep on going. Warrior Nun was canceled because of another reason, it didn’t have many people watching it to continue the show. Another factor for why these shows are getting canceled is how many people complete a show. Depending on how many people don’t finish the show it might get canceled. These may also be reasons why other shows are canceled as well. They are not getting what is needed to continue with the show. This leaves a lot of fans disappointed since their favorite show is no longer running and it leaves many shows on cliffhangers.
