There’s a sadomasochistic side to constantly throwing yourself into something new Netflix Series and expect multiple seasons of 20 different shows to be dropped from the streaming service in 2020.

All told, 20 shows were scrapped in just one year, with some of the scrapped ones receiving very good critical acclaim and even strong viewing figures. The most notable shows that found themselves at the bottom of the ruthless scythe were cult-favorite series warrior nun after a second season Mike Flanagan The Midnight Cluband Destiny: The Winx Saga.

That Flanagan’s series was canceled came as little surprise after news of his 2023 divorce from Netflix The fall of the house by Usher will be his last collaboration with the giant. The most controversial of the axes remains warrior nun. The comic book property saw an unlikely legion of fans, with acclaimed Sapphic themes and better critical reception than any other 2022 original series.

Warrior Nun’s fanbase has endlessly lobbied for justice for their favorite series, but so far has fallen on deaf ears. Curious also cancels the series when its leading lady, Alba Baptista, quickly becomes a star and a sought-after actress.
