Why Was It Cancelled? No reason has been given yet for why Netflix decided to cancel this series after only one season. It is a high-profile show and it scored very good viewership early in its run. It is likely also expensive to produce and there could have been cost hurdles continuing the show within the current COVID production restrictions. There is no word on whether this one will be shopped to other venues.
