A piece of news pops up about your favorite new show being slashed and you have to deal with the misery that follows.
Here’s to hoping your beloved series stuck the landing and wasn’t end up being preyed upon by the OTT platform. Scroll down to confirm if your list of shows made it to the next level or not.
All Shows Netflix Canceled in 2022
Space Force
Steve Carrell. That’s it. Anyhow it seems like it wasn’t enough for Netflix after all. Leading with an exemplary star cast, the series delved into fleshing out the category of office humor with its two seasons but its streaming platform said that’s it after that.
The title of the show stands for the US Military’s latest upcoming branch and the struggles thus faced by it and its members to establish themselves under a pre-existing serious banner.
Serving as a mini The Office reunion between creators Greg Daniels and Carrell, the show built its case through the means of nostalgia for the viewers. Yet, it failed to achieve any sort of critical acclamation and its trajectory soon plummeted to the ground.
Pretty Smart
Emily Osment, Gregg Sulkin, Olivia Macklin, and more. Phew! Pretty Smart had a pretty cute cast that almost gave some of us major Disney withdrawals (guilty pleasure much?). Nevertheless, the sitcom couldn’t be saved after its only season. Leading with a story about Osment’s Chelsea, the Ivy League graduate wanting to rise among the names of driven authors, her break-up with her boyfriend pushes her amidst the company of her sister and her roommates, who are rather distant from her posh disposition in life.
Cooking With Paris
Receiving some severe reception from both the audience and the critics, the show failed to hit the right notes despite its glitzy roster of guest stars joining Paris Hilton over the season.
The Baby-Sitters Club
Leading with high ratings on both IMDb (7.5) and Rotten Tomatoes (100%), the cancellation of this show after its two seasons proves that good storylines and their execution have nothing to do with the finality of whether your ship will sink or swim on Netflix. Following the lives of seven friends as introduced in Ann M. Martin’s novel series, the show initiates the foundations of their babysitting business.

Inculcating contemporary existences, the show exhibited top-notch credibility and even won a few awards. Nevertheless, this is a disheartening blow for its fans.
Raising Dion
Premiering in 2019, Raising Dion picked up Dennis Liu’s comic book of the same name as its source material. As the title suggests the show centered around Nicole’s life, a single mom partaking in her son’s upbringing. However, the story isn’t limited to your regular drama complexities. Complications arise when Dion realizes his potential for superhero abilities.
This becomes an added predicament on the part of Nicole, who now must protect her son’s secret from the world. After a run of two seasons, any chance of the third season has now been erased.
Fate: The Winx Saga
Those who’ve already watched the second, and now the last, season of the show know that things were left on a cliffhanger. Despite that, the show won’t be returning to answer any of your queries. Nothing can clarify the fate (no pun intended) of Netflix shows because one may think that views govern this aspect but this show ranked quite high in many countries after its premiere.
If we’d known a particular magic spell that could series from falling prey to such an end, we would’ve cast it already. Alas, nothing comes to our aid these days.
On The Verge
Charging with its overall one season, the series came out in September 2021 with Alexia Landeau, Sarah Jones, Julie Delpy, and Elisabeth Shue as the four women dealing with their respective mid-life crises in Los Angeles. The show failed to impress the audience and there you have it.
First Kill
A modern and supernatural spin on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, First Kill was inspired by V.E. Schwab’s short story revolving around the soon-to-turn 16 Juliette who must learn to accept the pressures of making one’s first kill after having survived on blood pills all this while.
Meeting up with the new girl Calliope Burns, who reigns from a monster-hunting family, Juliette is swept off her feet. Looks like feuding families are a trope that just won’t die down regardless of which era or reality we live in. Anyhow, the first kill that does take place here is that of the series right after its first season due to falling viewership. And the creator of the show has blamed Netflix for the lack of marketing and promotions.
Diablero
Set on the Mexican side of the Underworld, Diablero‘s two seasons were based on the Mexican book by Francisco Haghenbeck. It marks the coming together of a priest and the titular demon hunter to find a kidnapped girl.
Forming unlikely alliances along the way, the show plunges into a thrilling demon story, but maybe not as thrilling for it to be resurrected for the third season.
Archive 81
The title of the show was primarily a podcast with the show digging into Dan Turner, a film restorer’s case, who has to work under a sophisticated businessman to restore some burned tapes on the digital front. He soon gets too invested in the work of filmmaker Melody Pendras, probing into a cult 25 years ago.
The failing case of viewership is what led to the demise of this series after its singular season despite positive reception.
Resident Evil
With Ella Balinska leading the charge, we witnessed the movie series based on the video game series of the same name rebooted. However, despite, possibly the millionth trial to get the adaptation right, the series wasn’t successful in breathing life into our zombie-like adversaries.
After just one season and severely low ratings from both the critics and the audience, the show has been shut down for good. Hopefully, the next Resident Evil live-action adaptation (if there’s any) will do some justice to the storyline.
Midnight Gospel
Though beginning its journey back in 2020, not much was heard about the show’s resurrection until it was entirely slashed off from the catalog. With only one season of the adult animated series out yet, the show is no longer going to bring back the characters of Clancy Gilroy, Darryl the Fish, and more.
Gentefield
Again with only two seasons in the bag, Midnight Gospel with dramedy tropes at the center earned fairly positive reviews but not many were acquainted with the show’s name.
Following the life story of three Mexican-American, who are cousins, the show delves into their struggle to save their grandfather’s taco shop, their one piece of heirloom. However, the refurbished model of Los Angeles is hell-bent on buying out such local spaces, thus, erasing their existence from the streets.
Another Life
With two seasons under its name, the sci-fi series led by Katee Sackoff was canceled earlier this year. Critics claimed that the series aspired to pay homage to several precedents of its kind throughout the narrative but barely attempted to serve a purpose on its own. The same lack of individuality led its parade down the wrong path.
Head over to Netflix to relive the nostalgia of what’s left.
Which of these shows was your ultimate escape from the real world? Can you ever trust Netflix with the shows it releases, considering the trajectory of its unprecedented cancellations over the years? I’m still not okay with I Am Not Okay With This being snuffed after its only season, which too left dangling by the cliff. Let us know your thoughts on the same in the comments section below. Let out your anguish, this is a safe space.
