Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos has responded to the backlash that the streamer has been facing for canceling many of its s🦋hows, often after just one season. The list of series facing the axe has been building ꦉover the past few months, with many fan favorites ܫending early.

Netflix subscribers have been open about their frustration – just a glimpse at Twitter will se🧸e numerous campaigns started to try and revi🎐ve series. But now the streaming boss has doubled down on the decisions, explaining why these se𓆏ries face the chop. 

. "A lot of these shows were well-intended but talk to a very small audience on a very big budget. The key to it is you have to be able to talk to a small audience on a small budget and a large audience on a large budget. If you do that well, you can do that forever."

Netflix generally makes decisions about its shows based on the cumulative hours watched for each series, rather than their critical reception. This is compared to thi♋ngs like the cost of making the series as well as its placement on the Top 10 lists on the streaming platform.

While some shows keep going, like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Crown, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher, others are axed much earlier. Some of the recent cancelations have included 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Bast🔯ard Son & the Devil Himself, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Warrior Nun, 1899, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fate: The Winx Saga.
