Why Netflix Keeps Canceling Popular Shows

  • 2 years ago
Netflix is the place to be when it comes to sheer volume of television options, with a library so packed with originals that the real challenge can be deciding which shows to pick. That said, the streaming giant has a trend of cancelling shows that are popular enough to hold top spots on the Top 10 ranking, accumulate massive followings on social media, and generate the best kind of buzz. So, why has Netflix cancelled popular shows ranging from Sense8 to GLOW to Away?

Let's break it down. Although largely driven by data, Netflix doesn't release viewership numbers to the public, so subscribers can't gauge whether or not a show is a genuine hit until the streamer makes a decision about its future. The numbers that Netflix does release are generally those showing off the size of its biggest hits, including Cobra Kai after moving over from YouTube and Ryan Murphy's Ratched. That said, vice president of original programming Cindy Holland has explained how Netflix uses its in-house numbers.
