Shadow and Bone and Glamorous, along with adult animated series Agent Elvis, Farzaar, and Captain Fall will not be returning for new seasons at Netflix, Variety has confirmed.

The announcement comes as Hollywood streamers and broadcasters continue to assess the impact left by the work stoppages due to the months-long WGA and SAG-Aftra strikes. Sources say Netflixs decision to cancel stemmed from various reasons including performance and impact from the strike as the industry evaluates production schedules, scheduling shifts, etc.

As Netflix has said about previous cancellations, the streamer continues to look at viewing versus cost as it evaluates shows. In the case of series like Agent Elvis, Glamorous, Farzaar, and Captain Fall, each show only ran for one season before its cancellation. While Shadow and Bone received a cancellation after running its second season, which arrived on the streamer in March.

Based on the Grishaverse novels by Leigh Bardugos, Netflixs adaptation follows Alina Sarkoff as she struggles with her sudden transition from an orphan into the savior of Ravka. Its worth noting that Netflix still decided to cancel the series despite the show drawing a sizable audience and sparked a video game franchise.

The fantasy series sophomore season, however, failed to pick up the same steam as Season 1 and spent five weeks on the Netflixs Top 10 English-Language TV chart without reaching No. 1.

On the animated side, Captain Fall was originally picked up for 20 episodes, to air in two parts in its first season. Netflix dropped the cartoon after Part 1 failed to deliver the large audience needed to push the series forward.

Despite cancellations for other popular animated series like Disenchantment, Inside Job, Q Force, and Big Mouth (which is ending with Season 8, scheduled for sometime in 2024), Netflix continues to invest in adult animation with former HBO Max executive Billy Wee as director of animation.

On the other hand, this year, Netflix has ordered renewals for One Piece, Ginny & Georgia, Outer Banks, The Lincoln Lawyer, XO, Kitty, Heartstopper, The Night Agent, The Diplomat, FUBAR, Sweet Magnolias, and Castlevania: Nocturne.

Deadline was the first to report this news.

Expect several more cancelations across all services, just like with COVID. They can't make up lost studio time so the bigger shows get priority and smaller shows will get bumped off.

I tried three separate times to get into Shadow and Bones. Probably the most boring tv show i've seen in years.

I just wish Netflix and other companies will prepare writers for the end so we can get a proper conclusion to a story. I enjoyed Friends from College and now that show will be in limbo forever and anyone who starts it will be like, that's it? At least give the writers a heads up so they can come up with a proper conclusion. I guess that's my dream in a perfect world.

People are just going to have to adapt and write self-contained plots in a season. Wrap up the story in the first season. Get creative on each successive season.

Absolutely awful and probably extremely difficult to do from a narrative, innovation standpoint but I know many people who don't even bother getting invested in Netflix shows because they know they'll be canceled.

Same. I've heard the show made a few well received changes too so I as hesitant on getting into the books.

Why would I ever try a midrange new Netflix show knowing there's a 90% chance it will end on a cliffhanger and get canceled?

My gf and I loved the first season of Shadow and Bone. It was definitely our style. We hadn't gotten around to finishing season 2 yet, but we had it on our list for sure.

Not only that but Netflix still keeps the shows up, so it's a little weird that Netflix has incomplete shows in it's library like what's the point?

The solution is that not every show has to end on a cliffhanger. Why can't shows just have a conclusion, with the door open for future stories. It's just bait from the shows to encourage the network to pick them up for more episodes, but Netflix has shown they don't care.

On topic, I've never heard of any of these shows.

Netflix has a history of canceling shows early, some that are seemingly well received and have garnered large fan bases. I think it's done because the contracts Netflix signs with studios to produce content are usually heavily weighed on the backend. Frustrating for the consumer.

Im still pissed about Santa Clarita Diet. Also irked at Amazon for canceling The Wilds with that major cliffhanger ending.

Honestly, no show should ever be written with cliffhangers in mind anymore. The fact that its likely to be expected is killing my interest in trying any new shows.

Netflix hates animation. So does the rest of the TV industry I guess, but Netflix really hates it. It's a tiny miracle that "The Dragon Prince" got renewed for it's full 4 remaining seasons before Netflix went axe happy on their animation departments.

As an anime fan whose used to a lot of long form shows with no end in sight. Just enjoy it for the vibes, the themes, or the ideas it presents. Treat stories more like a chapter of someone's life you got to experience, and less like a defined start middle and end. It's not great, but it's easier to appreciate media like that. I don't need to know what happens to the protagonist of whatever show didn't get a second season. I can imagine what they might have done and that's good enough I guess. If I really need to know I can always check the source material. (But most of the time that's not finished either)

Considering Netflix has been wielding the power of the unrenewal lately I wouldn't relax until it's over.
