Netflix CEO Reveals More Cancellation Details
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings plans on pulling the plug on more shows in the future if he gets his [...]
In a rare move, Netflix decided not to continue with the second season of Baz Luhrmann's The Get Down. The streaming service historically gave almost every series a second season but opted out of continuing the musical drama. The Get Down was one of Netflix's most expensive shows, costing about $120 million.
Before the show was canceled Baz Luhrmann explained that he already developed Season 2.
"To be honest, we have already developed the opening of the next season," he said according to Deadline. "Sony and Netflix have been very driven about having a second season. There has been no question about that. They really want it."
After the cancellation, Luhrmann took to Facebook to comment on the situation. The award-winning director claimed that the reason Netflix pulled the plug was because he wasn't going to be able to be as heavily involved with the second season.
"This exclusivity has understandably become a sticking point for Netflix and Sony, who have been tremendous partners and supporters of the show," he wrote. "It kills me that I can't split myself into two and make myself available to both productions… But the simple truth is, I make movies."

Another notable Netflix cancellation was Marco Polo. The show was grandiose in scale and required significant money and resources to bring the epic tale to life. Unfortunately, the viewers did not enjoy the show enough to justify the high costs.
Several other programs on Netflix weren't exactly canceled but rather were given an ending date. Longmire, The Killing, and family drama Bloodline all fell into this category.
The first two major Netflix cancellations came in 2015 when Lilyhammer and Hemlock Grove were given the ax. The former was a Norwegian-American series that lasted four seasons. Hemlock Grove was extended a little more courtesy than Lilyhammer as the producers were informed that there would be no more seasons after the third.
While several of these beloved Netflix shows won't be getting more seasons, there is a number of thrilling titles that are hitting the streaming service in June.
