Netflix's recent original releases have been successful, and their constantly changing top 10 chart has been a pleasant surprise. However, the streaming platform has received a setback with the cancellation of five more shows. Despite the multitude of options available on Netflix's homepage, certain content has managed to stand out.
The Crown remains a runaway success as it enters its sixth season, while its anime content continues to thrive.
However, Netflix is currently facing the disappointment of fans as it has officially canceled five shows.
Shadow and Bone among latest canceled Netflix shows
Shadow and Bone, Agent Elvis, and Glamorous are among the latest crop of shows to be canceled by Netflix – and fans aren’t happy.
Animated shows Fazar and Captain Fall also join the group of live-action dramas that are no more.
Arguably Netflix’s biggest success story among the bunch, Shadow and Bone is an adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s young adult fantasy novels. In response to the news, the author took to Instagram to express her feelings, stating, "You've likely heard the news that there won't be a Season 3 for Shadow and Bone and no Six of Crows spinoff. This news has deeply affected me, leaving me heartbroken and incredibly disappointed. However, I am also striving to maintain a genuine sense of gratitude."
"I express immense gratitude towards our writers, crew, and amazing cast who not only possess immense talent but also genuinely embody goodness."
"After hearing the news, a fan posted on X/Twitter, warning others to never develop feelings for a Netflix TV show as they're quick to cancel them."
"Netflix's trend of cancelling shows and replacing them with mindless content, all in the hopes of creating the next Squid Game or Wednesday, is no longer about prioritizing quality. It's simply a quest for virality," another commenter stated.
In Glamorous, featuring Kim Cattrall, the story revolves around Marco Mejia, an individual who identifies as gender-nonconforming. Marco believes that their life is stagnant until an opportunity arises to work for one of the most esteemed beauty brands in the industry.
The cast of the satirical animated series Agent Elvis includes Matthew McConaughey, Priscilla Presley, Kaitlin Olson, Don Cheadle, and Niecy Nash. According to one user, Netflix's delay in announcing the show's cancellation may have been an attempt to avoid a strong backlash and the embarrassment of fans' sponsored messages on billboards visible from their offices.

Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan, I am deeply saddened by the news that Netflix has canceled five shows, including the popular series Shadow and Bone. The streaming platform's decision to axe these shows has left many fans disappointed and craving answers.
The author of the Shadow and Bone novels, Leigh Bardugo, expressed her disappointment and heartbreak on Instagram, stating that she is "deeply affected" by the news. Fans have taken to social media to express their frustration and disappointment, with some warning others to never develop feelings for a Netflix TV show as they are quick to cancel them.
It is disheartening to see Netflix cancel shows that have gained a dedicated fan base and have the potential for further development. The trend of canceling shows and replacing them with mindless content in the hopes of creating the next viral hit is concerning and suggests that the streaming platform is prioritizing quantity over quality.
I hope that Netflix will reconsider its decision and renew these canceled shows, giving them a chance to continue their stories and explore their full potential. As a fan, I believe that these shows deserve a proper conclusion and that their cancellation leaves a void in the streaming landscape.
