Every TV platform has to make hard choices — even Netflix, a company that made close to $2 billion in revenue last year. Sure enough, the streaming service hasn’t shied away from cancelling its low performers or even moderate hits (when it makes sense), especially in recent years.

For example, Netflix axed The Society and I Am Not Okay With This in 2020, and they aren’t the only Netflix originals that never streamed a sophomore season. Scroll down to see which other shows the platform canceled after Season 1.
The Get Down
Netflix likely took a big loss with this musical drama set in the Bronx in the late 1970s. The series, co-created by Moulin Rouge! director Baz Luhrmann, was reported to be the company’s most expensive show ever, costing $120 million.
Girlboss
Pitch Perfect screenwriter Kay Cannon created this comedy, which starred Britt Robertson as a young woman who falls into a career as a fashion entrepreneur.
Disjointed
Two and a Half Men’s Chuck Lorre co-created this stoner comedy, but alas, neither his bona fides nor the appeal of Kathy Bates as a cannabis dispensary owner could save the show from cancellation.
Everything Sucks!
This coming-of-age dramedy revolved around an A/V club and a drama club at a high school in Boring, Oregon, circa 1996.
Seven Seconds
Netflix chose not to grant a second season to this crime drama — which centered on a white police officer’s coverup of his accidentally killing a black teen — five months before Regina King won an Emmy for her performance.
The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale
After hosting The Soup for many years, McHale brought his wit to Netflix to host this weekly series, a “sharp, absurdist look at pop culture and news from across the globe.”
The Break With Michelle Wolf
This weekly series, meanwhile, featured Wolf “[making] fun of everything and everybody” without preaching or political agenda … “unless it’s funny.”
All About the Washingtons
This sitcom starred Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons (of Run-DMC fame) as a rap retiree who mans the house and watches over the kids when his wife follows her entrepreneurial dreams.
The Good Cop
Half dramedy, half murder mystery, this show featured Tony Danza as an ex-con ex-cop and Josh Groban as his by-the-books NYPD lieutenant son.
Chambers
This supernatural horror series focused on a woman spooked by the spirit of the late teen whose heart she receives via transplant, with Uma Thurman and Tony Goldwyn playing the girl’s mourning parents.
V Wars
The Vampire Diaries’ Ian Somerhalder returned to bloodsucker fare with this sci-fi horror series, playing a doctor trying to save the world from an ancient virus that turns humans into vampires.
October Faction
This horror series, meanwhile, starred Tamara Taylor and J.C. Mackenzie as a married monster hunters who unsuccessfully try to retire from the biz by moving to upstate New York with their teen kids.
The Society
This series featuring a large ensemble of young adu actors focused on teens who wake up in a place almost identical to their own New England town but discover they’ve been transported elsewhere. As they struggle to survive and find a way back home, their bonds are tested. The Society had been renewed for Season 2 but was canned due to budget constraints surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
I Am Not Okay With This
Based on Charles Forsman’s graphic novel, this coming of age story followed Sydney (Sophia Lillis), a teen dealing with family tragedy while coming to terms with her own identity and newly acquired powers. While it wasn’t publicly renewed, the coronavirus pandemic caused it to be canceled despite plans for a second season.
The Big Show Show
This family sitcom featured WWE star The Big Show in a fictionalized version of his life. In the series, his teenage daughter comes to live with him, his wife and two other daughters. Debuting back in April 2020, the show was canceled later that sum
The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia
Created by Mario Lopez and Seth Kurland, this series followed Ashley, a 15-year-old genius engineer and rocket scientist who moves across the country to live with her uncle when given a job opportunity at a prestigious company.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
The series served as a prequel to Jim Henson’s 1982 film and followed Gelfling who set out to save their world after they discovered the secret behind the Skelsis’ power.
Teenage Bounty Hunters
The series followed 16-year-old fraternal twin sisters Sterling (Maddie Phillips) and Blair (Anjelica Bette Fellini) Wesley as they teamed up with veteran bounty hunter Bowser Jenkins (Kadeem Hardison) while also navigating high school drama.
Away
Created by Andrew Hinderaker and from executive producer Jason Katims (Parenthood), the drama followed American astronaut Emma Green (Hilary Swank) as she led an international crew on the first mission to Mars, leaving behind her husband (Josh Charles) and daughter (Talitha Bateman).
Hoops
The animated comedy followed a hot-headed, foul-mouthed high school basketball coach (Jake Johnson) with hopes of making to the “big leagues” and change his miserable life if he could just turn around his god awful team.
Hit & Run
The drama starring and created by Fauda‘s Lior Raz followed a man who seeks answers following the hit-and-run death of his wife in Tel Aviv. Despite its international reach, the show was canceled less than two months after its debut.
First Kill
The series about teen vampire Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) and the vampire slayer Calliope (Imani Lewis), whom she falls for, hit with viewers, but didn’t seem to hit with the streamer who canceled it soon after Season 1 dropped.
Resident Evil
Set in the year 2036, Netflix’s Resident Evil was set 14 years after the spread of Joy, and followed Jade Wesker’s fight for survival in a world overrun by blood-thirsty infected and mind-shattering creatures. Based on the popular video game series, the show didn’t appear to pull in the franchise’s existing fanbase in a way that earned a Season 2 renewal.
