In recent years, Netflix has become notorious for canceling many of its original series. Though projects like Stranger Things, The Witcher, and Big Mouth continue to reign supreme on the streaming service, plenty of other popular shows were surprisingly struck off its list of ongoing productions.
These sweeping changes seem inevitable for a company that produces a seemingly infinite supply of films and TV shows. But many of Netflix’s axed series had gotten such rave reviews and devoted fans that their getting canceled seemed unthinkable. As audiences mourn what could’ve been, here’s a list of some of the best Netflix shows that shouldn’t have dropped.
Like The Office, this Steve Carell-helmed series had divisive reviews in its first season, only to gather widespread acclaim during its second season. Unfortunately, Space Force was canceled after it left its characters facing a giant meteor hurdling toward the Earth. Had the series continued where it left off, it could’ve continued to forge its own identity and become even more popular with audiences.
Following the surprising success of Riverdale on Netflix, the streaming service gave audiences another dark reimagining of Archie Comics centered around everybody’s favorite teenage witch. Delving deep into the horrors of the occult, this coming-of-age series follows Sabrina as she learns to master her magic powers and protect her loved ones from the forces of Hell.
The show enchanted audiences and had a successful run on Netflix for four seasons. Unfortunately, the show was another victim of Netflix’s mid-pandemic cancellations. It still had a couple of crossover episodes with Riverdale during its sixth season to wrap up specific plot points. Even so, it deserved more than just two episodes to do the series justice.
Created by one of the writers from the critically acclaimed Gravity Falls, this animated sitcom follows a socially awkward genius and her team of oddball coworkers as they try to run the world’s shadow government and hide all their conspiracies.
