Netflix cancels 13 shows in 2026, ends six, renews hits

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHere's why we're talking. Just Jared says Netflix has cancelled thirteen shows in twenty twenty-six, announced six are ending, and renewed a lot of hits.

2. CO

   Cassius ObermeyerThirteen sounds like a lot until you hear one-season shows. Then it's thirteen separate people who all had a cruise ship.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorParade says those thirteen are all one-season shows, and the count includes competition and unscripted titles. Is that comforting?

4. CO

   Cassius ObermeyerVery. My show has a cruise ship. A cruise ship is not a competition. It's a vessel.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd Emily in Paris gets a sixth and final season, which HuffPost says was filming in Greece. What do you make of that?

6. CO

   Cassius ObermeyerGreece. For a show called Paris. I respect a production that stops pretending.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTell us about Grief Cruise, then. What was the pitch?

8. CO

   Cassius ObermeyerEight strangers on a boat, all processing loss, and the boat is also losing. It's layered.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCassius, it was cancelled. Netflix cancelled it. Yes or no?

10. CO

    Cassius ObermeyerTechnically, it's in a creative pause, and I'm told pauses have a way of becoming seasons.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'll ask again. Was it cancelled?

12. CO

    Cassius ObermeyerTechnically, it's been strategically concluded. Fine. I keep this clapperboard that says Season Two, and I took it from the studio.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou took it? That's what we'd call an unplanned asset transfer, and I'm sure the studio is very relaxed about it.

14. CO

    Cassius ObermeyerI slept with it. Technically that's a table read.

15. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLightning round. Netflix renewed A Different World for season two. Your reaction, one word.

16. CO

    Cassius ObermeyerJealous.

17. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Beast in Me got a surprise second season. Surprise to whom?

18. CO

    Cassius ObermeyerMe. Deeply.

19. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCassius, what's next for you, and where can people find you?

20. CO

    Cassius ObermeyerA new thriller, and it's technically not cancelled. It's filming in Greece, and it's set in Paris.

21. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCassius, that's the exact business model that gets a show six seasons. Tell Netflix I said so.
