Netflix kicks off 2023 by cancelling another hit show

It's been confirmed that period drama 1899 won't be renewed for a second season, despite its positive ratings.

It may be a new year, but Netflix’s habit of cancelling fan-favourite shows seems to be continuing.

Last year, a number of the streaming service's hit shows were abruptly cancelled, disappointing fans everywhere. While the 2022 series The Imperfects and Partner Track were both stopped in their tracks (sorry) after a single season, Fate: The Winx Saga’s fanbase arguably had it even worse when it was revealed that the second season’s cliffhanger ending was never going to be resolved. Now though, after its premiere less than two months ago, it’s been confirmed that Netflix’s period drama 1899 won’t be renewed for a second season.

Take a look at the trailer for 1899 below.

In case you were unfamiliar, take a look at the show’s synopsis: “When mysterious events change the course of an immigrant ship headed for New York in 1899, a mind-bending riddle unfolds for its bewildered passengers.” Intriguing, right? Well, considering its respectable 76% critic score and 74% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s clear that 1899 had plenty of support from viewers, but unfortunately, this wasn’t enough.

As Digital Spy reports, the show’s co-creator Baran bo Odar took to Instagram to deliver the news to fans and thank them for their support: “With a heavy heart we have to tell you that 1899 will not be renewed,” he wrote. “We would have loved to finish this incredible journey with a second and third season as we did with Dark. But sometimes things don’t turn out the way you planned. That’s life.

“We know this will disappoint millions of fans out there. But we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts that you were a part of this wonderful adventure,” he continued. “We love you. Never forget.”

Oh dear. Hopefully, this year’s Netflix lineup will have more luck.
