5 canceled Netflix shows that need to make a comeback — these unresolved cliffhangers still keep me up at night
Netflix has a reputation for quickly axing shows that don't hit the zeitgeist, but these 5 cruel cancelations still hurt even years later.
Mindhunter, Archive 81, Glow, 1899, and I Am Not Okay with This are five Netflix shows that were canceled prematurely and left audiences craving more. Mindhunter, a crime thriller series, explored the founding of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit and has remained a popular demand for a renewal due to its high viewership and strong critical reception.
Archive 81, an audio horror drama adapted from a podcast series, had a captivating plot but was axed after just one season, leaving many questions unanswered. Glow, a comedy-drama about women's professional wrestling, was a unique blend of humor and human drama, but its cancellation due to pandemic delays cut short viewers' opportunity to enjoy more of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
1899, a mystery sci-fi show set in the early 20th century, had the potential to become a modern "Lost" but was abruptly canceled after its first eight episodes, leaving viewers in suspense about its conclusion. Lastly, I Am Not Okay with This, a dark comedy inspired by Stephen King's novel, was set to become a new Netflix original series but was canceled due to release timing coinciding with the onset of global quarantines.
