Netflix cancels five shows, including major fan-favourite

In a disappointing turn of events, Netflix has cancelled several beloved shows, including the fan-favourite Shadow and Bone.

Netflix has always been ruthless when it comes to slashing shows from its streaming service. Even when there’s a solid fanbase, it’s often not enough to warrant running a show forever, especially if it negatively impacts profit margins.

Check out the trailer for the upcoming Scott Pilgrim: Takes Off below.

That was the case with five Netflix shows that recently received the axe, one of which is a fan-favourite that only lasted for two seasons. Shadow and Bone was a fantasy drama adapted from the novels of the same name, written by Leigh Bardugo. Its second and final season premiered on the streaming service in March, though the story will unfortunately end there as it’s not getting a third, despite being popular amongst fans.

That also means the rumoured Six of Crows spin-off is likely also not going ahead. It’ll be joined by Glamorous, as well as three animated TV shows: Agent Elvis, Farzar, and Captain Fall.

The reason for the five departures is due to high production costs not translating to views, as well as the recent strikes grinding various parts of Hollywood to a halt, killing momentum.

It doesn’t bode well for subscribers either, who are already dissatisfied with several price hikes for the various Netflix membership tiers. Luckily, there are at least some decent Netflix originals on the horizon. Animated film fans can look forward to a new Witcher story, The Witcher: Sirens Of The Deep, which sees Geralt attempt to prevent an all-out war between two kingdoms.

Also on the way is Zack Snyder’s latest flick Rebel Moon which is set to be a two-part blockbuster packing some serious celebrity talent.

Finally, there’s my personal favourite Scott Pilgrim: Takes Off, an animated adaption of the graphic novel series, starring the entire cast of the live-action film who’ve all returned to their respective roles. It’s set to go live on the service tomorrow, 17 November.

Netflix cancellations are tough, but there should still be enough on the service to keep viewers entertained.
