According to recent announcements, there are Netflix series to be canceled. The list was just released and it’s possible that your favorite series could soon be gone.
A few of the upcoming Netflix cancelations — including House of Cards and Bloodline — were given enough warning from executives that they had the chance to say goodbye to their fans. Others, like Girlboss, weren’t so lucky and were canceled after only one season. The series Love, which stars Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust, was the most recent show to be canceled.
Check the following list of Netflix series to be canceled to see if your favorites survived the cut.

Canceling only a mere 14 shows may be historic low when it comes to normal numbers of canceled series. And, of those 14 Netflix series that will no longer be part of Netflix’ lineup, eight of them ended in 2017. However, according to comments made by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, we can expect news of even more cancellations in the near future. So, don’t get too comfortable having your favorites around, even if they’ve avoided the cut so far.
“We’ve canceled very few shows,” Hastings said several months ago. “I’m always pushing the content team. We have to take more risk. You have to try more crazy things. Because we should have a higher cancel rate overall.”
While we are always sad to discover any Netflix series canceled, Hastings’ remarks signal that we could see the rise of fresh new content in the near future as well. The other silver lining is, we will still have all the old episodes to enjoy again. Until Netflix gives us something new, anyway. Thank you, modern technology, for endless reruns!
Hopefully, Netflix will replace these canceled series with shows we love just as much. Or maybe even more so. So, seems like we should cross your fingers and keep watching your favorite reruns until then.
