Netflix apparently just canceled this TV show without telling its creator
After all that, you'd think it would have the cancelation process off pat by now, right? Tell the showrunners, prepare the PR pitch and batten down the hatches for the fan revolt. It seems that withTate's prison-set mockumentary proved to be, well, a hard sell. Reviews tended to be two-star affairs.
But while canceling shows is part of the business, it does seem that Netflix handled this one in a really crappy way. Speaking to BBC Radio 2, Tate said that"do you know Netflix never actually told me? So, I've never actually had the call to say... nothing". She added:"Isn't it just rude? I heard from someone else's agent. That was nice." Netflix has declined to comment beyond confirming that it had canceled the show.
The streaming service's cancelations have become something of a comedic trope online, but not everybody's laughing. As many industry watchers have pointed out, it's hard to get people invested in a new show if it's likely to end on a cliffhanger and then never come back.
That could have a wider effect on what shows get taken to Netflix in the first place. Let's say you've got a killer idea for a new show.
