In a disappointing turn of events, Netflix has cancelled several beloved shows, including the fan-favouriteShadow and Bone.
Netflixhas always been ruthless when it comes to slashing shows from its streaming service. Even when there’s a solid fanbase, it’s often not enough to warrant running a show forever, especially if it negatively impacts profit margins.
Check out the trailer for the upcomingScott Pilgrim: Takes Offbelow.

The reason for the five departures is due to high production costs not translating to views, as well as the recent strikes grinding various parts of Hollywood to a halt, killing momentum.
It doesn’t bode well for subscribers either, who are already dissatisfied withseveral price hikesfor the various Netflix membership tiers. Luckily, there are at least some decent Netflix originals on the horizon. Animated film fans can look forward to a new Witcher story,The Witcher: Sirens Of The Deep, which sees Geralt attempt to prevent an all-out war between two kingdoms.
Also on the way isZack Snyder’s latest flickRebel Moonwhich is set to be a two-part blockbuster packing some serious celebrity talent.

Finally, there’s my personal favouriteScott Pilgrim: Takes Off, an animated adaption of the graphic novel series, starring the entire cast of the live-action film who’ve all returned to their respective roles. It’s set to go live on the service tomorrow, 17 November.
Netflix cancellations are tough, but there should still be enough on the service to keep viewers entertained.
