How many times have we accessed, seen, liked, recommended to our friends a series that we did not take reference from anyone, but suddenly we learned that the platform that produced it decided. cancel. But… if it’s great, what happened?
The streaming battle where four big companies are fighting for the subscription throne has a very positive side: More projects than ever before have been greenlit. Movies and series that would never have had a chance on traditional television make the budget and money a reality.
That’s why in recent years we’ve seen new stories, new situations and scenarios that surprise us with their freshness and daring. When there is a lot of money to create audiovisual works, the audience is the first to win.
But they go as they come. Series have become the easiest pawns to sacrifice when it comes to changing strategy, cutting budgets, or changing approach. No matter how successful a series is, it doesn’t take long for it to disappear if something doesn’t fit the incumbent offices.
And if any of the big companies has a worse reputation than Grim Reaper itself, it’s Netflix. The American broadcasting giant is the platform that broadcasts the most series per year, as well as the one with the most cancellations.. One of lime, the other of sand. Today we talk about what we miss the most.
6 shows that Netflix canceled and that we miss the most
- Last Kingdom
- Glare

Last Kingdom

Thus, the young unemployed actress keeps her dream alive by taking on the role of a fighter alongside other women. This series was a real bombshell, a discovery. If we’ve said before that the broadcast war really brought original series to light, this is the perfect example.
It has been nominated for all kinds of awards during its three years of airing, Emmy, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild… but did not win any awards. Despite this, it was clear that the quality was undeniable and the idea was conveyed very well on the small screen.
As you can imagine, since today’s topic is not about happy endings, Netflix canceled the series when the third season premiered in 2019. If you want to enjoy the 30 episodes broadcast on the platform, don’t waste any more time, just click a little further down.

file 81
Dan Turner is an activist who has found a mysterious new job restoring an old video collection from 1994. This leads him to piece together the past work of documentary filmmaker Melody Pendras and her investigation into a dangerous cult.
We’re talking about worldwide success here, although it fades as the series nears its end. It had a good script, it was pretty scary, and the actors brought freshness to their roles. (something to see new faces).
The series worked for a number of reasons. First, because the style of the series is difficult to define. In essence, it belongs to the aforementioned type of find image, but it has the thriller, drama, and criminal investigation phases.
Second, since Archive 81 is based on a podcast of the same name, Archive 81, It was created by Marc Sollinger and Daniel Powell, who are also co-producers of the series. That’s why it’s a very original and well-directed production. It didn’t make it past the first season on Netflix.

OA
when does the story start Prairie Johnson, a blind girl who disappeared seven years ago, reappears in her town with her sight restored. A miracle for some, a freak for others, the truth is Prairie, who calls herself OA, decides not to tell where she has been for these seven years.
Not his family, not the FBI, just five people from the town, a select few who will understand where he came from: from beyond the unknown, from the threshold of a world never seen before. This original series has attracted millions. number of viewers worldwide.
Like the rest of the list, the success of the series wasn’t enough for Netflix to charge as soon as the piston fell.. Divided into two parts, each consisting of 8 chapters, the work tells everything we will learn about OA and the world beyond the known.
Some still want his comeback, but Netflix isn’t up to the task, and even fewer have been canceled for three years because of it. You may miss it but you have to look ahead, we will get through this, I assure you.

Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
Netflix
The series is a return to the world of Thra, but with a new adventure: When the three Gelfling discover the terrifying secret behind the power of Skeksis, they embark on an epic journey to kindle the fire of rebellion and save their world.
Netflix dared to turn one of the most iconic adventure, magic and animation movies of the 80s into a series. Despite that, the company didn’t hesitate to cancel it shortly after it aired, so there’s only one season left. And it sure sounds familiar to you because we recently recommended it on another list.
The series is almost an hour long with 10 episodes, so if you like the original work, you won’t be able to skip the series no matter how much Netflix cancels it. In this case, very bloodily: it canceled after removing an Emmy award hours ago.
It certainly doesn’t seem to come back from the dead, so enjoy the ten episodes Netflix pays for and take it seriously. Your inner child will thank you.

mind hunter
Two FBI agents revolutionize research techniques to find answers on how to catch serial killers and psychopathic minds. To do this, they will have to study, visit, and interview the worst psychopaths in the United States. The reward will be worth it.
Since we’re talking about the masterpiece Mindhunter, we’ve left the best dramas on the list for last. The audiovisual film that David Fincher left his mark on, although it was created by Joe Penhall.
It’s an adult drama, daring, intense, and very unpleasant at times. All of this made it a cult hit in the days of its release. For the first time in years, Netflix has a series that competes with HBO and its top productions in quality, script and good work.
Despite the show’s huge popularity with millions of viewers worldwide and continued praise from critics, Netflix decided to freeze the show after the premiere of the second season. To be fair, it hasn’t been canceled… yet, but it’s parked until further notice and the worst is feared.

We apologize if we reminded you of a series that we have already forgotten after getting over the cancellation blow.
