It’s been almost a decade since Netflix started creating its own original content and building up an extremely diverse library of content. It all started with the political thriller House of Cards, and from there, the streaming service has created hundreds of shows. While the platform keeps producing popular new shows, they have a tendency to cancel shows before their time.
Here is a list of every Netflix original show that has been canceled so far, from the oldest to the most recent cancelation.

While Netflix revealed that, on its first weekend, the show was more viewed than House of Cards, there’s no way of knowing if viewership increased or not with seasons 2 and 3, as Netflix doesn’t make its stats public. Moreover, the first season didn’t do well with the critics and was seen as messy.
