On Friday, screenwriter Joe Barton confirmed that Half Bad: The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself will not be returning for a second season on Netflix. It’s the second well-reviewed show Netflix has canceled this month, following Midnight Mass on December 1.
With so many original shows debuting on Netflix each and every month, not all of them are going to hit the mark. As a result, Netflix cancels nearly as many original shows in a year as some other streaming services produce. This year was no different, as dozens of original series bit the dust in 2022. Below, we’ve rounded up every TV show that Netflix canceled in 2022.
