Netflix Cancelations And Renewals For 2023
Queen Elizabeth II’s reign on Netflix will continue for longer than expected. The acclaimed historical drama will continue for a surprise sixth season, after creator/executive producer Peter Morgan reportedly changed his mind about ending the show with season five.
“As we started to discuss the storylines for Series 5, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons,” he said, per Deadline.
The Danish original drama The Rain is over after airing a third and final season in summer 2020. The show takes place six years after a brutal virus carried by rain wipes out almost all the human life in Scandinavia.
The young adult series Trinkets has come to an end after a 10-episode second and final season. The show, based on Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith’s young adult novel, follows three teenage girls from different social circles who form an unlikely friendship after attending a mandated Shoplifters Anonymous group. Season two aired in summer 2020.
Netflix’s Dark concluded after airing its third and final season in 2020. Showrunner Baran bo Odar confirmed that the third season would be its last on Instagram, writing, “And it’s official! We are working on Dark Season 3. It is the final cycle of this great journey.”
If you love the Ricky Gervais starrer After Life, we have good news: Netflix has announced it has renewed the series for a third season. The show starts the comedian as a middle-aged journalist whose seemingly perfect life is shattered after his wife dies of cancer. The streamer has yet to confirm a premiere date for season three.
What failed to work on Lifetime became a bonafide hit on Netflix. The thriller series, which stars Penn Badgley as a bookstore manager/serial killer, earned a second life after moving from the cable network to the streamer. Given the huge response it has garnered online in both its freshman and sophomore seasons, it’s no wonder Netflix opted to move forward with a third season. Bagdley and co-star Victoria Pedretti are set to reprise their roles in season three.
The spooky drama, which premiered last fall, returned for a second season last fall. Netflix renewed the series as an anthology, so season two will focus on an entirely different story. The sophomore season, titled The Haunting of Bly Manor, is based on Henry James’s gothic novella The Turn of the Screw.
Only weeks after the premiere of the sophomore season, Netflix confirmed it will bring this series, starring Gillian Anderson and Asa Butterfield, back for more. The streamer ordered a third batch of episodes of the show, which centers on an awkward high school student with a sex therapist mother who sets up an underground sex therapy clinic for students.
Netflix has renewed its adaptation of the comic book series Locke and Key, which debuted in February 2020. The streamer confirmed the news on social media, writing, “More keys, more demons, more aloha.” According to Deadline, the upcoming season will see heightened stakes for the Locke siblings as they adjust to their new roles as the Keepers of the Keys.
