Galactic Mess 1,393 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 They just just stick to making 1-season series with good plot/characters. All this milking/cancelling is so opportunistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa 19,592 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I'm so upset about this, Glow was one of my favourite shows The fact that they had one episode filmed and had to stop will forever haunt me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickSpears 2,113 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 This newer guy that has been running Netflix in recent years is terrible and needs to be fired. He cancels EVERYTHING. He is literally ruining Netflix. The shows are good, but who cares when they will just get cancelled quickly and AFTER a renewal? I need a Julie and the Phantoms renewal STAT!

Dutch 90,808 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Very fitting to the story of the show, their shows getting cancelled over and over again. Honestly, I didn't like season 2 that much, but season 3 was fun again. I wasn't mad about it them finishing the show, but just to pull the plug mid season is really a big f*ck you.

Ziggy 11,610 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I wouldn't put The Witcher in this category. The difference is The Witcher has growth potential since they only have the one season so far. I imagine that Netflix is tightening the pursestrings globally as they make pushes into India and stuff amid a pandemic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how filming is done now, but I'm pretty sure I read Locke and Key is resuming production and will be in production until next year. Which means there must be a lot of measures that drag out and increase the cost of shows. Honestly I think you’re right. Unrelated but one of my favorite sitcoms The Goldbergs resumed production in late August and they had some very interesting setups. Pexiglass barriers between the seats and not all cast can be on sets at the same time unless the scene calla for it. All costumes were provided in plastic bags like you would see at the dry cleaners and the crew is around in masks and face shields. It’s going to be interesting to see what the finished products look like for shows that are back in production now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarandos is the guy who created the first model netflix would use when they would produce original shows/movies : buy all the rights and at least 2 seasons of the show. This is the model they used for ST and The OA. He believed in creating a large fan base for each show and then the algorithm would redirect those fan bases towards other shows. He also believed in independent artists and less famous creators. I do know that they did hire another guy who changed their algorithm and the model they use. They now buy all the rights of a show, guarantee one season at least and if the show brings a certain amount of NEW subscribers, then they renew. OR they hire a famous producer/writer to make a certain amount of shows, preferably shows that are easy to watch and target a larger audience. I'll find the name of the guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
