First Kill is the latest Netflix series to face the chop. The LGBTQ star-crossed romance about a vampire and a monster hunter was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:canceled by the streamer despite landing in iಌts top 10 upon release. Showrunner Felicia D. Henderson has addressed the axing, explaining it was all down to the completion rate.

"When I got the call to tell me they weren’t renewing the show because the completion rate wasn’t high enough, of course, I was very disappointed," Henderson told . "What showruᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnner wouldﷺn’t be? I’d been told a couple of weeks ago that they were hoping completion would get higher. I guess it didn’t."

Netflix measures the completion rate as viewers who watch 90 per cent of a film or season of a series. The streamer doesn’t release the data for this, but it is thought to heavily fac🍎tor into whether they will renew a show or commission a sequel. Therefore, despite First Kill being watched for almost 50 million hours in its first week, it didn’t rank highly enough to get a renewal.

Henderson also explained there may have b🍸een an issue with Netflix'♐s marketing of the show as simply a lesbian vampire story. While she thought the "initial marketing was beautiful", the showrunner explained she hoped the later promotion would have focused on the nuances of the show. 

"I think I expected that to be the beginning," she said. "And that the other equally compelling and important elements of the show – monsters vs. monster hun𒅌ters, the battle betwee꧙n two powerful matriarchs, etc. – would eventually be promoted, and that didn’t happen."

However, despite꧙ the cancelation, the showrunner credited Netflix for giving the series a shot. "They licensed the🃏 IP, paid for a pilot script, and gave it a healthy production budget," she said.
