"Well it was fun while it lasted. If you haven't heard the news there's no good rockin' tonight. Agent Elvis has been canceled by Netflix. I knew it was coming but I'm not gonna lie it hurts to see it in print," Agent Elvis creator John Eddie wrote on Instagram after the show's cancellation after just a single season was announced on Nov. 15. "As disappointed as I am that there won't be a second season on Netflix, who knows? Maybe the adventures of Agent Elvis will live on somewhere else. Or in another medium completely. Or just in my head."
"Agent Elvis opened up some amazing doors for me and more importantly through it all I've met some of the coolest, most creative and talented individuals that I'm blessed to now call my friends. Luv each and everyone of you," he continued. "I'm gonna miss bugging y'all with my craziness."
Created by Priscilla Presley and John Eddie, the animated spy adventure followed a fictionalized version of Elvis, who is a secret agent for the U.S. government. The series premiered in March and received a 65% Rotten Tomatoes score.
'Shadow and Bone'

Canceled: November 15, 2023
Set in the Grishaverse and based on Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone trilogy, Shadow and Bone centers around Alina Starkov, an orphan and cartographer of the Ravka nation's First Army, as she discovers she is a Grisha who has the unique ability to control light, making her the "Sun Summoner." The series starred Jessie Mei Li, Archie Renaux, Freddy Carter, Amita Suman, Kit Young, Ben Barnes, Zoë Wanamaker, Daisy Head, and more. It was developed by Eric Heisserer.
Following the series' debut in April 2021, Season 2 arrived on Netflix in March 2023. However, after months of no word on a possible Season 3, it was confirmed in November that Shadow and Bone was canceled alongside four other series. The string of cancellations were the result of several factors, according to Deadline, including the series' performance and costs, big gaps between seasons, and the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which impacted scheduling plans.
'Rebelde'
![netflix-rebelde.jpg netflix-rebelde.jpg](https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/2023/11/17/15eab7ce-f63f-4370-b1fd-7856880f1544/netflix-rebelde.jpg?auto=webp&width=2999&height=2076&crop=1.445:1,smart)

'Snowflake Mountain'

Canceled: July 7, 2023
Netflix may be growing its catalogue of original reality TV programming, but its series Snowflake Mountain will not be on that roster. The series was canceled in July after just a single season after it "failed to hit the heights of other unscripted series, such as Too Hot to Handle," Deadline confirmed.
Premiering in June 2022, Snowflake Mountain centered around a group of spoiled young adults. In need of a reality check, the group is stripped of their home comforts and taken into the wilderness of Britain's Lake District, where, under the watchful eyes of survivalists Matt Tate and Joel Graves, they have a chance to win a $50,000 prize. Snowflake Mountain was made by production company Naked, which is owned by Freemantle, which also owns Too Hot to Handle producer Talkback.
The series wasn't met with the same success and popularity as its other Netflix original reality TV counterparts. The show holds a grim 0% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, aggregated from eight reviews, and a 57% audience score. The show also faced some criticism, with The Guardian going after the series for its "exhausting sheen of red state/blue state division," and even going so far as to call it "deliberately manipulative."
'Man vs. Bee'
![netflix-man-vs-bee.jpg netflix-man-vs-bee.jpg](https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/2023/07/11/5cf4b4da-2b5d-46b2-84ad-0f41f1030c44/netflix-man-vs-bee.jpg?auto=webp&width=3840&height=2076&crop=1.85:1,smart)
Premiered: June 24, 2022
Canceled: May 9, 2023
Created by Mr. Bean star Rowan Atkinson with writer William Davies, Man vs. Bee starred Atkinson as Trevor Binley, a house sitter who finds himself in an elaborate battle with a bee while lodging in a wealthy couple's mansion. Jing Lusi and Julian Rhind-Tutt starred as the homeowners, with Greg McHugh, India Fowler, Claudie Blakley, and Tom Badsen also appearing. Following the show's June 2022 premiere, Man vs. Bee only proved to be mildly successful. The series earned 18.2 million hours viewed during its first weekend, debuting in the 10th spot among the Top 10 shows watched globally on Netflix during the week ending on June 26, 2022. Those numbers proved to not be quite enough to secure a Season 2 renewal, with The Sun reporting in May 2023 Netflix opted not to move forward with a second season.
'Lockwood & Co.'
![netflix-lockwood-and-co.jpg netflix-lockwood-and-co.jpg](https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/2023/05/16/42a40e21-a7b7-45dc-bfa9-625db54b7291/netflix-lockwood-and-co.jpg?auto=webp&width=8256&height=4698&crop=1.757:1,smart)

Canceled: May 12, 2023
Based on Jonathan Stroud's young adult novels of the same name and developed by Joe Cornish under his Complete Fiction banner, Lockwood & Co. debuted on Netflix in January. The series centered around teen ghost-hunters Anthony Lockwood, George and Lucy, who run Lockwood & Co. Together, the trio unravel a terrifying mystery that will change the course of history. It starred Ruby Stokes, Cameron Chapman, and Ali Hadji-Heshmati.
Just months after it premiered, any hope that Lockwood & Co. would receive a Season 2 renewal came crashing down when the series was axed after just a single season. Dropping in January, the show had shown plenty of promise, with Lockwood & Co.'s first and now only season earning a 92% critics score and 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The series also drew in 79.91 million hours in the top global 10s over the course of three weeks. However, it seems that early success was not enough to warrant a Season 2 renewal. According to Variety, while Netflix "was very pleased with the show, and especially the work that had gone into it, viewing numbers didn't meet the threshold to greenlight a second season."
'Big Mouth'
![netflix-big-mouth.jpg netflix-big-mouth.jpg](https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/2023/04/25/1ab45dda-dbbb-4fc3-ae4e-ec38f6284259/netflix-big-mouth.jpg?auto=webp&width=1920&height=1080&crop=1.778:1,smart)

Ahead of Big Mouth's Season 7 premiere later this year, Netflix confirmed Monday, April 24 that the popular Emmy-winning adult animated comedy would be ending. The streamer picked up the series for an eighth and final season, with Nick Kroll, series star and executive producer, sharing in a statement, "you would have told adolescent Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that middle school would take eight years to finish, they would have been like, 'Yeah, that sounds about right. This seems like it will never end."
Created by Kroll and Andrew Goldberg, Big Mouth is loosely inspired by their childhood. The series follows friends and their hormones manifested as monsters as they navigate adolescence and coming of age. Billy Wee, Netflix's Director of Adult Animation, praised the show as "a towering achievement in animated comedy that will make Netflix history for its longevity," with Big Mouth set to end its run as Netflix's longest-running original series outside of kids and family programming.
Big Mouth featured a voice cast that included Kroll voicing Nick, John Mulaney voicing Andrew, and Jessi Klein voicing Jessie. The remainder of the cast includes Maya Rudolph as Connie the Hormone Monstress, Jason Mantzoukas as teenager Jay, Jordan Peele as the Ghost of Duke Ellington, Fred Armisen as Nick's father Elliot Birch, ad Ayo Edebiri as the nerdy Missy.

After Season 1 debuted in January 2021, Season 2 dropped in May 2022. Season 3, which consisted of 10 episodes rather than eight, like the first two seasons, arrived in October 2022.

Canceled: April 12, 2023
After being ordered in September 2021 as a spinoff of the hit young adult drama On My Block, Freeridge's lifespan on Netflix was extremely short-lived. The series debuted on Feb. 2, and even spent some time on the Top 10 TV Shows chart, before Netflix ultimately decided to cancel it after just a single season on April 12. A reason for the cancellation was not provided.
Freeridge was a coming-of-age comedy that followed "sibling rivals Gloria and Ines and their friends Demi and Cameron who have unleashed a curse bringing dark misfortune into their lives."

After Season 2 dropped on Marc 2, 2023, Deadline confirmed on April 7 that Sex/Life was canceled, a spokesperson telling the outlet that the second season "brought the series to a natural close, wrapping up the storylines for key characters whose relationships come to a happy conclusion."
The cancellation news came just after star Sarah Shahi said during an appearance on the podcast Not Skinny But Not Fat, "I'm not going to put it down, but I definitely did not have the support that I did the first season from the people involved in the show." The actress said the series "became a much different thing for me," adding that she "struggled with the material" of the season, which she called "gimmicky."
'Mo'- ending

Premiered: August 24, 2022
Renewal/Cancellation: January 12, 2023
Mo joins the list on a bit of a happier note. While most of the titles on this list were canceled in surprised moves, Mo was renewed for a second and final season. The series from Mo Amer and Ramy Youssef, is loosely based on Amer's own life as a Palestinian refugee living in Houston, Texas and follows the titular character as he seeks asylum and citizenship in the United States. Along with Amer, the series stars Farah Bsieso, Omar Elba, Teresa Ruiz, and Tobe Nwigwe.

Premiered: August 20, 2022
Canceled: January 2023
Marking the first major title to come out of the David Benioff and D.B. Weiss overall deal and created by Amanda Peet and Annie Julia Wyman, The Chair starred Killing Eve's Sandra Oh as Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim, the first woman of color to become chair at the prestigious Pembroke University. As the first woman to chair the English department and as one of the few staff members of color at the university, Ji-Yoon is faced with a unique set of challenges as she tries to meet the dizzying demands and high expectations of a failing English department. Along with Oh, the comedy stars Jay Duplass, Holland Taylor, Bob Balaban, Nana Mensah, David Morse, and Everly Carganilla.
The series scored an 86% critics score and 79% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it was only in Netflix's global Top 10 for one week after its Aug. 20, 2021 release. Audiences watched 14.02 million hours in its first full week of release. By the following week, it disappeared. The Chair also disappeared from individual country Top 10s within 19 days.
Although Netflix has not formally announced a cancellation for The Chair, Amanda Peet, who co-created the series with Annie Julia Wyman, confirmed at the Television Critics Association's Winter Press Tour earlier this month that the streaming giant has opted not to move forward with a second season. Peet told reporters, per the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, "we weren't picked up." It had been reported in August 2022 that a Season 2 renewal was unlikely.

Premiered: July 19, 2022
Canceled: January 13, 2023
Jan. 13 proved to be a treacherous day for the Netflix streaming library. On the same day that Steele announced Dead End: Paranormal Park would not return for a third season, news arose that the Neil Patrick Harris-starring series Uncoupled was also canceled after just a single season.
From Emily in Paris creator Darren Star and Modern Family veteran Jeffrey Richman, the series starred Harris as Michael, a New York City real estate broker who seems to have the perfect life until his boyfriend of 17 years abruptly moves out, forcing Michael to confront two different nightmares – "losing what he thought was his soulmate and suddenly finding himself a single gay man in his mid-forties in New York City." Tisha Campbell, Brooks Ashmanskas, Emerson Brooks and Marcia Gay Harden. André De Shields, Byron Jennings, Colin Hanlon, Dan Amboyer, Gilles Marini, Jai Rodriguez, Nic Rouleau, Peter Porte, and Stephanie Faracy also starred.
While the series did manage to receive positive reviews, the 10-episode debut season holding a 73% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 75% audience score, it didn't have much of an impact on Netflix. Uncoupled only appeared on the Top 10 streaming chart for one week, debuting in the No. 6 spot, before disappearing from the chart.
'Dead End: Paranormal Park'

Fans hoping to head back to Phoenix Parks for a third season of Dead End: Paranormal Park were left gutted when creator Hamish Steele confirmed in a Jan. 13 tweet that Dead End: Paranormal Park was canceled. The series originally permeired on June 16, 2022, with a second batch of 10 episodes arriving on Oct. 13. That season now acts as the final season for the series.
The animated series, based on Steele's horror-comedy graphic novels DeadEndia and web short Dead End, follows the adventures of Barney, Norma and magical-talking-dog Pugsley, new employees at local theme park, Phoenix Parks. The trio face zombie mascots, demonic game show hosts, sleep-sucking witches, and more.
According to Steele, work on Season 3 was already underway when the cancellation news arrived, Steele revealing, "we did a writers room for Season 3. We have scripts and designs and outlines ready to go. It was always the plan to give these characters the proper ending they deserve. But sadly, the powers that be don't want any more." A reason for the cancellation is unclear.

Canceled: January 7, 2022
Amid a bit of a shakeup for Netflix's adult animation slate throughout 2022, Netflix continued the shakeups in 2023 when Inside Job was axed after just a single season. The hilarious animated series centered on Cognito, Inc., a shadow government organization that attempted to keep the truth from people in a world where every conspiracy theory is treated as true.
The series was given a 20-episdoe first season order in April 2019, with former Netflix Head of Adult Animation saying at the time, "Shion represents the next generation of animation creators at Netflix and we are truly honored to be working with her on Inside Job. We can't wait for adult animation fans around the world to fall in love with her singular brand of comedy and characters." The debut season was split into two parts, with the 10-episode Part 1 dropping in October 2021 followed by the remaining episodes in November 2022. The series was a hit, and Netflix quickly ordered a second season in June 2022. However, on Jan. 7, writer Chase Mitchell confirmed in a series of since-deleted tweets that the show was canceled.

Premiered: November 17, 2022
Canceled: January 2, 2023
The mystery sci-fi drama 1899 marked Netflix's first cancellation of the year. Created by Jantjee Friese and Baran bo Odar, the pair behind the hit German-language original Dark, the series followed a group of European emigrants traveling from the U.K. to New York City on a steamship, but their journey is plagued with a series of mysterious events. It starred Emily Beecham, Aneurin Barnard, Andreas Pietschmann, Miguel Bernardeau, Mathilde Aollivier, Jonas Bloquet, Rosalie Craig, and Maciej Musial.
1899 debuted as a Netflix original in November 2022 and with its riveting storyline that generated plenty of buzz online as viewers attempted to solve the show's many mysteries, it immediately jumped onto the Top 10 list. It reached No. 2 on Netflix's top 10 chart in its first week of availability and earned about 79.27 million hours of viewership in its first four days. Although Odar confirmed there was a multi-season plan for 1899, and despite its streaming success, Netflix canceled 1899 just two days into 2023. The streamer did not provide a reason for the cancellation.
