Netflix has been under fire for canceling multiple shows in recent months. The cancelation spree of the streaming giant started in late 2022 and is still going on, with animated shows likeInside JobandDead Endbeing the newest addition to the list. This behavior did not sit very well with the fans of the shows, and they started calling out the streaming platform to bring the shows back. Fans of the fantasy dramaWarrior Nuneven went on to put a billboard in front of the streaming giant’s headquarters to save the show.
However, the streaming giant has not shown any compassion toward these fans. And as the backlash grows with the growing number of canceled shows, the new co-CEO of the streaming platform responded to the increasing backlash.

Netflix New Co-CEO’s Justifies Shows Cancellations
The streaming giant recently canceled a number of shows. While some of these shows were canceled just after a single season, shows likeWarrior Nunwas canceled after two successful seasons on the streaming platform. One of the canceled shows,Inside Job, was even renewed for another season before its cancellation.
And as the outrage grows over these cancelations, the new co-CEO of the streaming giant, Ted Sarandos, has explained the reason behind these cancellations. In his recent interview with Bloomberg, Ted Sarandos said that they have never canceled“a successful show.”
Sarandos said that most of the canceled shows were“well-intended.”He said,“A lot of these shows were well-intended but talk to a very small audience on a very big budget.”
The co-CEO further explained that the small-budget shows are intended to target a small audience, and the big-budget shows are meant to target a bigger audience.“If you do that well, you can do that forever,”Ted Sarandos explained.
The co-CEO seems to have claimed that the shows were simply canceled due to poor performance despite their high cost. His statements also seem to indicate that Netflix has no plans of bringing back the canceled shows. However, the reasoning did not go well with the fans ofWarrior Nun,who are determined to save their favorite fantasy drama.

Warrior NunFans Call Out Netflix
Alba BaptistastarrerWarrior Nunpremiered on Netflix in July 2020. Following a positive response, the streaming giant renewed the show for a second season, which was released in November 2022. However, soon after the release of its second season, Netflix canceled the show.
After the show’s cancelations, fans started campaigning and demanded the streaming should giant renew it for season 3. And they are certainly not satisfied with the co-CEO’s justification as they started to question how a show“with 228% return on investment”is not profitable.
