The Chair – Picture: Netflix
Officially we’re but to listen to about the way forward for The Chair however by most accounts and primarily based purely on efficiency, we will just about safely assume the present is not going to be returning.
We consider it’s not returning as a result of Sandra Oh, the primary star of the present, spoke to Variety in early 2022, saying that she guesses it’s “not happening”.
Adventure Beast

This Netflix co-production with France’s Canal+ quietly dropped onto Netflix in September 2021. Sadly, the present did not make a lot of an influence regardless of starring Elisabeth Shue.

Alien TV

Running for 2 seasons on Netflix is the Australian-produced children sequence specializing in alien reporters Ixbee, Pixbee, and Squee.
We discovered that the present isn’t set to return for future episodes in early 2022. However, the creators of the present had been eager to emphasize that the door is open for future episodes down the highway.

One of the primary main debuts exhibits on Netflix in 2022 was Archive 81, a brand new horror sequence primarily based on a podcast sequence of the identical title.
While the present did high Netflix’s high 10s, there’s proof that viewership dropoff between episodes might’ve been the rationale for the early demise of Archive 81.
The Baby-Sitters Club
Canceled: March eleventh
First debuting in October 2020, The Baby-Sitters Club got here from Rachel Shukert and finally went on to run for 2 seasons on Netflix however gained’t return for a 3rd.

Canceled: January thirteenth
After arguably defying the chances to get to a second season, Gentefied did not get renewed for a 3rd season, with the cancelation information coming in early January 2022.
While it did break into the Netflix TV high 10s within the US, it solely did so for 9 days earlier than dropping out.

It was by no means a matter of if, and solely a matter of when it was confirmed that Netflix had canceled Another Life.
We can assume the sequence had been dropped by Netflix as early as December 2021, because of a tweet from Katie Sackhoff that closely hinted on the present’s destiny.
