I definitely should have, it's been on my watch list since it came out.

Netflix Cancels Santa Clarita Diet

Well by that token, surely Return of the living dead was. But they didn't say the first zombie comedy, they said zombie rom com. But then you could argue zombie was that already.
That really sucks, it was a great show.
A few shows have been written to last 4 seasons lately, like Crazy Ex Girlfriend or The Good Place. I'm sure Santa Clarita could have ended properly in one more season... such a shame. Boooooo Netflix.

Netflix CEO: Right people, Disney is set to launch their service by the end of the year, not going to lie, it's going to be tough, they're bringing their a game, so we need ideas on how to keep customers.
Exec1: Raise prices!
Exec2: Start abruptly cancelling shows
Exec3: Don't let the writers know so they can't wrap it up
Exec4: Push a heavy Algorithm system to do the curation work for us, that worked out well for YouTube
Netflix CEO: These all sound solid, let's do all of them.

I think it'll get to finish its run. People will riot (and start dropping subscriptions, I know I would, and I get Netflix for free) if that show was surprise canceled.
Bummer.... I really liked this. Was already looking forward to the next season :/
Wasn't so hot about it at the beginning either, but it really grew on me and I found it got better as it went on.

They can start with this Netflix asshole who keeps murdering my favorite shows.
Sense 8 got an ending episode. Hopefully this series gets a satisfying conclusion too.
I'm not aware it was so unpopular tho.
I'm worried about GLOW and Russian Doll now.

Russian Doll at least had a satisfying ending. If it never gets renewed, I'm fine with it, as amazing as it was.
Oh shit. I'm the Sentence of Death to Netflix shows. Started watching One Day At a Time -> it's cancelled a month later. Just started watching this a couple of weeks ago and now it ended. What show should I avoid watching so that fans can have their fourth and beyond seasons?
The thing is, these shows might be doing perfectly fine, even building up in popularity at a decent pace with each passing season, but Big Data has shown Netflix that shows hold less value in retaining or increasing subscribers or some such past three or so seasons, at least when they aren't Stranger Things level successes out of the gate. A show like SCD might be getting increased viewerships but if that is from already existing long-time subscribers who'd stay as subscribers whether or not (additional seasons of) SCD exists instead of bringing in tons of subscribers, it holds less value than a new smash hit that brings in a ton of new users.
This is probably enough to get me to consider cancelling. What's the point of getting invested in a series if it'll just get cancelled in a few sessions? Just sign up for a month, binge said season then wait.
I'll do that for Disenchantment, but that's it. Hopefully the Disney offering is better. And is in Australia.

IIRC they planned the show to last three seasons so hopefully it should be fine story wise.
Wait, really? I thought that would be a one and done deal.
What is there to do with the characters after season 1?
True. It's like Pushing Daisies: I'd like to tell people "go watch this show!" but then I have to say "by the way don't get invested in it too much because it doesn't end".
That's bad long-term planning.
No details but I saw an interview and they said they had three seasons planned.
And why exactly would Netflix remove one of their own shows from its library?
*shrug* Why would Netflix make something available indefinitely? Particularly something they didn't feel the need to continue to support?
I just finished watching season 3 a few days ago. Such a shame, realy enjoyed the cast.
I agree that would be ideal or at least tell us how it all would unfold.
The other thing I don't get is how Netflix has doubled their investment into new shows again for the next year, but they keep cancelling shit. Is it all going to bake shows, reality TV, and Adam sandler?
The number of shows I'm looking forward to has really decreased. Sabrina, witcher, stranger things, bojack and... I think that is it. Umbrella academy and ozark are okay.

It would be too expensive most likely to get everyone back together and ramp up production for a short final season.
Also everyone asking why they didn't tell the show runners so they could have wrapped it up in season 3... Who's to say they didn't? They were probably well aware if it didn't hit certain metrics that they wouldn't be back. Hulu or someone else could pick it up so maybe they gambled?
I just saw some behind the scenes of show business with my wife's sister's feature film (showing in Tribeca this weekend). The business side is just as important as the creative side.
God damn it, Netflix! First you cancel One Day at a Time and now Santa Clarita Diet. I just hope Kominsky Method doesn't get axed next.
According to the info that Ratsky put earlier in the thread, production costs can go up substantially after Season 3. A wrap up movie is probably contractually identical to a S4 from the cast and crew standpoint so it probably isn't cost effective to them.
It probably wouldn't be a bad thing to build 2 hour wrap up movies into production contacts for shows in the event of cancellation to make them more economically viable.
It's always amazing that these cancellation threads get more posts than the regular season threads.
Guess I'm in the minority, but I feel the show had run its course by S3. Couldn't finish, no interest in a S4.
