Grace and Frankie will have 7 seasons when it ends.
And the Next Cancelled Show is...
- Thread starter Guy Gardener
- Start date
So many perverts on the internet are waiting for these kids to be bangable.
Some model lost her job for telling one of the boys to look her up in 5 years.
Also, if not a time travel story, then a time jump, where the kids get replaced by adults, and it's still only 2005.
We're up to five:
- "Grace and Frankie," which will be the longest-running Netflix show, by number of episodes, when its seventh and final season runs in January
- "Orange Is the New Black," which ended in July after seven seasons
- "BoJack Horseman," which will end with its upcoming sixth season
- "House of Cards," which aired its sixth and final season last November
- "Fuller House," which streams its fifth and final season later this year
That's pretty pathetic, actually.
Yeah, 3 seasons seem to be the Netflix norm. House of Cards was made before they figured out their strategy, so it kind of got lucky. But strangely enough, House of Cards could have easily ended with 3 or 4 seasons if they hadn't gotten distracted by the success of the show. Story threads that mirrored the UK version were more or less forgotten and teased about from time to time, but the saddest thing is that those never got proper resolutions. Season 6 should never gotten made, and the series finale felt like a middle finger to those who stuck around that long. It was awful. Had they ended it earlier, they could have wrapped things up properly and not let so many plot threads dangle.
So maybe they're conscious of this in their decisions, and don't want shows to run too long.

^Netflix canceled 90% of shows 32 days after they premiere which is beyond stupid as no one even knows of the shows by then. They need to give shows time. Why cancl so quickly? It makes no sense.
House of Cards would have benefited from 4 seasons. One rise to power, one rise to president, one as president and keeping power and one as the House of Cards... you know falls. Something the god damn idiots who made the show didn't seem to get. The 6th season was actually decent considering, but then the last episode... useless.
Plus they could have done four 13 episode seasons and had 52 episodes... a deck of cards.
Also I just Googled how many Netflix shows have there been... 162.
6 (You forgot Crown which was planned for 6 seasons but will end with 5 because Netflix.) out of 162 made it to a 5th season? That's pathetic. But I don't know if 162 includes the ones Netflix bought the rights to after the fact and they (wrongly) call Netflix shows.

First off, Netflix didn't produce original content until 2013, so that's seven years, not ten.
Secondly, that's already a slanted way to measure, as, if you take at most one season per year, shows would have to be older than 2015 to even be able to have made it to five seasons by now.
Taking into account that Netflix didn't make a whole lot of original programming before 2015, it's actually quite impressive they made that many shows that reached 5+ seasons.
Especially, since that list is not complete, as it leaves out all the family-oriented shows. There's also
- Adventures of Puss in Boots
- All Hail King Julien
- Dinotrux
- DreamWorks' Dragons
- Voltron: Legendary Defender
Btw, Netflix also just renewed Castlevania for a fourth season.
That could be possible. I am almost positive we will at least get a spin-off from the show. My favorite idea still is switching from monsters to Aliens and focus on Steve and some new friends who represent 90's clichés like the Lone Gunmen style nerd. The Goth girl and Gangster Rap type musician selling cd's of his music out of the back of his van. all set in the 90's . A time period when alien stuff was really big from TNG to X-FIles and Independence Day.

Yeah, that was ridiculous. For all the setting up they did, the house seemed a little too... strong? It never really toppled even though one of the story threads was the investigation, which never amounted to anything significant. If I remember the UK version correctly, the investigation eventually got to him and it uncovered the scandal which he tried to get away with, which set his wife off being tired of his games. The house in this version never properly toppled, which rankled me.
Though I'm not sure they would have used a similar ending to the UK version. It probably wouldn't have gone down well.
I was watching the 6th season and actually enjoyed how it was going, considering the mess they had to deal with, until the finale. It's like the creators were planning a 13 episode season and Netflix went 'Nah, we are only doing 8' and the show just ends. One of the worst finales in history and there are a lot of awful finales.
If you name a show 'House of Cards' the house of cards needs to fall. That's just how it works.
Or even just have a conclusion.
Actually that was the title of the first book (in order House Of Cards, To Play The King, The Final Cut) which was intended as a stand alone. Can't remember if that changed before the first UK series came out or after.
No, you're probably right. All I'm saying is that it followed the plot of the UK version fairly well in the first few seasons, then they got sidetracked and never got back to the main plot. At least the UK version had an ending while the American version didn't even have the dignity to end it properly. By the end, it felt they focused on the wrong things and it felt like they didn't even remember why they were there.
The problem I had with it was that final season, and perhaps even the 5th, felt a bit aimless. Instead of really addressing the issues on the table that they'd introduced in earlier seasons, they introduced even more plotlines that seemed so random.
The show was kind of pointless after the second season. It felt like a different show that didn't have a point. The third season was forgiven, but then the 4th and the 5th, it was all random and useless and just wasting time.
The 6th season was always going to be a mess because of Kevin Spacey. However that's what they came up with? They planned that stupid ass ending?
I'm now watching Atypical and I love it and pissed at Netflix for ending this wonderful show.
Yeah, that's what I mean. It was also kind of thin on plot. Any of it was wasted on navel-gazing. And yeah, I really hated the ending.
Maybe not cancelled, but The Orville won't being going back to film more episodes.
I have no idea where you heard that news, but currently almost no shows are going back to film more episodes.
I meant it's not returning to film more episodes, even after the current crisis is over. On a positive note, my new wave of HeroClix figurines were approved and should be out in 2021. I'll update the website at some point.
