Netflix Cancels 10 Shows, 5 Others Ending in 2026

Netflix creates more than 700 original titles every year for its more than 200 million monthly users to make it the largest streaming giant in the country.

While it has produced a number of the greatest shows of all time like Dark and Stranger Things, not every show is going to be a hit or receive the number of viewers necessary to make another season viable.

In 2026 alone, Netflix has already canceled 10 shows, with its most recent cancellation coming earlier this month, and confirmed the end of five more shows this year.

‘Bandi' Canceled After Just 1 Season

Netflix made the decision to cancel French show Bandi after one season, just a few weeks after the show initially debuted in early April.

"A difficult decision that was not taken lightly," Netflix said in a statement to French site RCI, which was translated to English by Google.

Despite its decision to cancel the show, Netflix remains proud of the product – even if it was for just one season.

"More than just a series, a true cultural moment that showcased Martinican talent, driven by the vision of Eric and Capucine Rochant and the exceptional commitment of the actors and the entire team," it said. "We are extremely proud of Bandi."

9 Other Shows Canceled, 5 More Ending

Here's a list of the nine other shows canceled this year:

• The Abandons
• Terminator Zero
• The Vince Staples Show
• Pop The Balloon LIVE
• Selling the City
• With Love, Meghan
• Alice In Borderland
• Class
• Miss Governor

While those 10 shows were canceled this year, five others will be ending after their respective season finales in 2026 as well.

• Alpha Males (Season 6)
• Breathless (Season 3)
• The Night Agent (Season 4)
• The Lincoln Lawyer (Season 5)
• Survival of the Thickest (Season 3)

The constant turnover at Netflix leaves fans of these 15 shows (potentially) wanting more.
