Other notable cancellations include: The Abandoned (Os Abandonados): Netflix canceled Kurt Sutter’s Western series on January 21st, shortly after its release, due to poor audience reception and criticism. The show’s high production cost (around $150 million) was also a factor. Alice in Borderland: Despite strong viewership, the platform confirmed in January that the third season (released at the end of the previous year) would be its last. High production costs drove the series’ end.
Cancelled Shows on Netflix Early 2026: Terminator Zero, Miss Governor, Class (Indian Elite Spinoff), The Vince Staples Show
Terminator Zero: In mid-February, the creator of this anime series based on the Terminator franchise announced its cancellation. Despite critical acclaim, the show didn’t attract enough viewers to justify another expensive season. Other series facing cancellation: Miss Governor (formerly She The People): Tyler Perry’s political comedy series changed its name mid-season in an attempt to attract more viewers, but was ultimately canceled in early March, according to the lead actress. Class (Indian spinoff of Elite): Despite Netflix announcing a renewal in 2023, the project was shelved. The cancellation was confirmed in early February 2026 through social media posts from the actors. The Vince Staples Show: The satirical comedy led by Vince Staples was canceled on January 21st after two seasons. Its niche format struggled to reach a broad enough audience to justify its continuation. The frequency of cancellations may make viewers hesitant to invest in new Netflix series.
