It looks like Netflix has cancelled four more shows. This seems like bad news for viewers of "Mr. Iglesias," "The Crew," "Bonding," and "Country Comfort."
Television cancellation seasons are always brutal for viewers as the fate of much-loved series hangs in the balance, but this summer was especially brutal, and the latest round of Netflix's content cull, as reported by Deadline, is sure to disappoint many subscribers
Kevyn.
Kevin James' "The Crew" is the most high-profile film on this list, if the news is true. This sitcom about the happenings of a NASCAR pit stop crew lasted only one season. The same is true of "Country Comfort," which appears to end after only one collection of episodes.
Critics' favorite "Mr. Iglesias," a sitcom about a good-natured high school teacher who tries to make a difference, ran for two series before it was reportedly cancelled. The dark comedy "Bonding" also completed its second season, but is unlikely to return for a part three.
There is always the possibility that the creative teams of these four series will seek new homes with one of Netflix's rivals. For example, the creators of Manifest, which was cancelled by NBC earlier this year, have been vocal about their efforts to market the drama series to competing services. The series was actually offered to Netflix, but the deal appears to have fallen through.
While cancellations are always a blow, the good news is that Netflix seems to continue to work with much of the talent behind these shows. Kevin James has signed a development deal with the streaming company and will likely star in another single-camera comedy series. Iglesias' eponymous star is said to be filming a third standup special for Netflix this summer. In addition, the creators of "Bonding" have also reportedly signed a development deal.
While the news of the cancellation of any series is disappointing, as it is the fans who really lose out in the end, there is still plenty of great content to watch on the streaming service this month. Plus, if you're a Netflix subscriber, you know that "Stranger Things" is coming back later this year, as well as "The Witcher". So there are still plenty of films worth watching.
