Netflix Fans Erupt in Anger Over Show Cancellations
Netflix fans are furious about the streamer's years of cancelled shows, and they're unloading about it on a social media thread.
Fans expressed anger over the cancellations of a variety of shows on a Reddit thread that was first posted on May 8, 2025, and titled, "I will never forgive you for this 💔" People then listed the shows they are most upset that Netflix has cancelled over the years.
Netflix has cancelled multiple shows in 2025 alone, but the Reddit thread wasn't limited to this year. Rather, it turns out that fans have long memories when it comes to their favorite shows being killed, especially if storylines are left hanging.
The original poster on Reddit included a collage with photos from Netflix's cancelled shows, including 1899, Gypsy, I Am Not Okay With This, and First Kill.
How does Netflix decide which shows to keep and which to cancel?
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos told Vulture, "It's 70 percent gut and 30 percent data.'
According to Wired, Netflix has to take a show's cost into consideration.
In January 2023, Wired reported that 1899 wasn't continuing "despite debuting at the end of 2022 to positive reviews and a place on the streamer's top 10 list."
"When mysterious events change the course of an immigrant ship headed for New York in 1899, a mind-bending riddle unfolds for its bewildered passengers," the Netflix blurb for the show says.
Fans offered up a variety of other shows that they're still angry at Netflix for cancelling.
"Mindhunter!!" one Reddit user declared. "We lost Mindhunter but got a billion reality shows no one asked for," another wrote.
Several others agreed that 1899 didn't deserve the axe. "1899 had so much potential," a fan of the show opined.
"1899 was the only one of these I watched, and I was gutted when I finished it to find out there would be no more. It was a slow burner, so definitely not for everyone, but it was so unique and I really wanted to see where it would go," another person agreed.
A fan explained, "I wish when shows like this get cancelled, the show runners would just come out and tell us what the end game, twist, secret, mystery was. Especially if after a time it's clear no one else is picking it up, just give us a summary, the cliff notes, whatever."
Other Netflix shows receiving mentions on the thread included Spinning Out, The Society, Black Summer, Dead Boy Detectives, Lockwood & Co., Santa Clarita Diet, 1670, Nobody's Watching, Teenage Bounty Hunter, Archive 81, Inside Job, Marco Polo, Kaos, and OA.

Meghan Markle snubbed by A-list singer who turned down invite to appear on Netflix show: report
Dolly Parton reportedly snubbed Meghan Markle after she turned down an invite to appear on the actress's Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan.' 'Her team was livid,' celebrity commentator Kinsey Schofield claimed on a recent podcast appearance of 'The Nerve with Maureen Callahan.' 'Because no, they don't want to risk Dolly's reputation Q score [and] her popularity by associating with Meghan Markle.' 'They knew that this ask was just to give Meghan Markle credibility in this lifestyle space, a space that Dolly does have a lot of credibility in,' she continued. Schofield, 40, elaborated on Parton's success in the country music industry and as a lifestyle guru with her variety of baking batter mixes and beauty products. 'Dolly is not only incredibly popular and loved by the general public, but she also is somebody who can float around within these different places,' she added. 'Her team really feels like Meghan was trying to take advantage of her popularity,' Schofield alleged. Callahan described Parton as 'authentic' and claimed it would've been 'spontaneous combustion of good versus evil' if she agreed to appear alongside 'a fake royal' in her 'fake kitchen.' Reps for Parton, 79, and Markle, 43, weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment. The Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle series was released on Netflix in March. It was immediately renewed for Season 2 despite criticism from trolls claiming that Markle was 'thirsty' for fame. Several celebrities joined the 'Suits' alum in her show, including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer. Spencer has previously defended her pal against critics, telling Page Six that Markle is 'the most glorious human being on the planet.' Markle, meanwhile, embarked on several business ventures this past year, including the launch of her 'As Ever' lifestyle brand and 'Confessions of a Female Founder' podcast in April. During a recent podcast episode, she admitted she felt 'incredibly lonely' in her business endeavors.

These 6 Netflix Treats Are Worth Watching In June
If you pay any attention to the film world, you'll know that the last few weeks have been dominated by one thing and one thing only: the Cannes Film Festival. While news of upcoming movies had us thoroughly excited for the next year of cinema (a period romance starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, anyone?), the headlines were mostly defined by buzzy red carpet moments. From Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence giving us the millennial fandom moment of dreams to Emma Stone being attacked by a bee and consequently being saved by Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal, there was plenty to keep up with. Other standout moments included Denzel Washington being surprised with an honorary Palme d'Or by his longtime friend Spike Lee and Charli XCX sitting in the audience at Harris Dickinson 's directorial debut premiere. But while we wait in anticipation for the movies to make their way to the big screens, we're keeping our eyes on our small screens this June. After the success of Four Seasons and dreamy teen romance Forever last month, we're now focusing on thrillers and action for the month ahead. To take a look at all the best titles coming to Netflix this June, read on. Our Netflix Star: Ginny and Georgia Season 3 Ginny and Georgia is made for those of us who want the familial, loving comfort of Gilmore Girls with a little bit of spice. Picking up right after Georgia's disastrous wedding (spoiler alert), the mother of two must now face the music after being arrested for the mercy killing of frenemy Cynthia's terminally ill husband, Tom. After her years of manic moves and name-changes to cover up her life of crimes, the whole town now knows Georgia isn't the innocent woman she pretended to be. Wrapped up in Georgia's web of lies, Ginny has to make one of two choices: support her mom through thick and thin or cut ties and try to make it on her own. Straw If you're searching for a movie stacked with talented women, look no further than Taraji P. Henson starring alongside Sherri Shepherd and Teyana Taylor in Tyler Perry's latest thriller. Telling the story of a single mother strapped for cash, Janiyah (Henson) is forced to make a life-changing decision after a series of incidents leave her without enough money to buy her daughter's medicine. Trying to be the best parent she can, she decides to hold up a bank to try to get the cash she needs, leading to a hostage situation that grips the local community. Trainwreck: The Astroworld Legacy The latest installment of Netflix's Trainwreck documentary series investigates the fateful Travis Scott festival in 2021, where 10 fans tragically lost their lives. Featuring survivors, medical staff and members of the security team, the documentary pieces together the events that led up to the tragedy in Texas, examining how the fatal crowd crush occurred and the lasting effects it has had on the audience members and workers in attendance. Fubar Season 2 Craving a chaotic father-daughter action-comedy? Then look no further than Fubar. Returning for its second season, the series picks up as long-time CIA operative Luke Brunner (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is dealing with the aftermath of finding out his daughter (Monica Barbaro) is also secretly a member of the CIA. As they're tasked with linking up to fight crime as a (somewhat) dynamic duo, things begin to unravel when an old flame enters the scene and threatens to throw Luke off course. The Waterfront For fans of a true story, this new drama is set to be right up your street. Taking place in the fictional North Carolina town of Havenport, the series follows a flawed family as they fight to keep control of their quickly collapsing fishing empire. Used to having a big reputation in town, the Buckley family is forced to keep their business afloat in increasingly desperate ways. Starring Maria Bello (Coyote Ugly), Melissa Benoist (Glee), Holt McCallany (Ironclaw) and Jake Weary (Animal Kingdom). Squid Game Season 3 It's hard to believe that Squid Game first premiered in the middle of a global pandemic five years ago. Having the world hooked on its dystopian premise ever since, the Korean-language series returns for its third and final season this month. Following Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) as he deals with the aftermath of losing his best friend in the game, the series sees him embark on a mission to end the game for good, while the antagonist Front Man continues his craft of cruelty, making things worse for the surviving players with every passing round.

Madonna Teams Up With Shawn Levy and Netflix For a Limited Series Based on Her Life: Report
Madonna fans have been waiting for years to see the Queen of Pop get her very own biopic — and according to a new report, they may finally get to see one. According to a report from Deadline on Monday (May 12), Madonna has teamed up with Deadpool & Wolverine producer Shawn Levy to develop a limited series based on her life and career for Netflix. Levy's production company 21 Laps currently has an exclusive deal with Netflix. More from Billboard See Madonna, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx & Lorde Squeeze In for Epic Met Gala Selfie Twenty One Pilots Fans Jumped Into Veronica Mars Mode After Someone Took Off With One of Josh Dun's Bespoke Drums Palm Tree Festival to Debut in St. Tropez With Headliners A$AP Rocky & Swedish House Mafia Billboard reached out to representatives for Madonna and Netflix for comment. The new project is apparently not related to a much-discussed and since-delayed feature film based on Madonna's life. The project, which was being developed by Universal Pictures and set to star Ozark and Inventing Anna actress Julia Garner as the pop superstar, was put on an indefinite hold in 2023 as Madonna embarked on her Celebration World Tour. In 2024, however, Madonna sparked rumors that the film might be back in the works, when she shared a since-deleted photo of herself sitting at a typewriter working on a screenplay titled Who's That Girl — an apparent nod to her 1987 film and song of the same name. Still, Madonna herself floated the idea of creating a TV series about her life in November of last year, claiming that a number of 'producers and agents' told her that she wouldn't be able to make her film the way she wanted to. 'Downsize-down scale-think smaller-they say—I realized that everything in my life is going to be challenged,' she wrote in a since-removed post, before asking her fans if they would prefer to see her story adapted into 'a series or a feature film.'
