We are now four months into the year and the list of Netflix canceled shows continues to grow. Below, we’ll take a look at all the high-profile cancellations (that have been announced anyway) so far from 2023 through April 2023.
There will also be lots and lots of shows that also fall off this list in two camps.
- Shows that end naturally include The crown, firefly laneand I have never.
- So we’ll have shows being ghost cancelled, so we’ll never officially hear of them being removed. We’re keeping track of some of those ghost-canceled shows here.
Did you miss any of the major cancellations of 2022? Our list is still available to everyone here.

“I am heartbroken to confirm that Netflix has decided to cancel Season 2 of Inside Job. Over the years these characters have become real people to me and I’m devastated that I can’t see them grow up. Reagan and Brett deserved to have their end and finally find happiness. And I would have loved to share what was in store with all of you.
To everyone who watched, thank you for joining us on the journey. Even though I’m sad, it helps to know that there are people who care as much about these characters as I do.”
