Why Was It Cancelled? This show has become yet another one-and-done genre entry following its cancellation by Netflix after one season. It received very little in the way of promotion but still managed to make its way into the Netflix Top 10 for two weeks in a row after its premiere. The execs at the streaming service have higher viewership demands, though, and this becomes the latest show cast to the trash heap after a truncated run. Fans could try a Call to Action on the social networks to get it moved to a new venue for a second season, but Netflix likely holds the rights to the property for a minimum of two years.
