Netflixis one of the leading streaming content producers, but it is not always an easy environment for new shows. For every huge success likeStranger ThingsorBridgerton, the platform has had far more series that were nixed early on in their runs. At times, these cancellations have enraged viewers, as was the case with thesci-fi seriesThe OA, which had only two seasons. Some series have only been awarded a single season on Netflix, even if they have been decently received, such asEverything Sucks!,The Get Down, andI’m Not Okay with This.
More recently, however, Netflix’s newer comedy series have done well on the platform. The streamer saw a huge hit withNobody Wants Thisseason 1last year, prompting a fast season 2 renewal. Last year’s Ted Danson-ledA Man on the Insidealso got renewed for season 2 after a strong season 1. The comedy renewal trend continued this year afterRunning Pointgot picked up for a second installment. Now, Netflix has added to their growing list of renewed comedies of late.
