Apart from simply being rubbish shows ... :-p


Netflix Data Confirms Why Fubar & The Recruit Were Canceled
-----------------------------------------------------------
Netflix data sheds light on the reasons behind the cancellations
of FUBAR and The Recruit. As audience trends shifted in 2025,
both series saw significant viewership declines that ultimately
sealed their fate.

Fubar Season 2 dropped its audience by 75.9%
FUBAR Season 2 saw a 75.9% drop in viewership, making it the
biggest audience loss for any returning English-language Netflix
series in 2025, according to Netflix & Chiffres.

The season generated just 2.2 million views during its debut
weekend in June 2025, compared to 11 million views for Season 1's
opening in May 2023. As a result, Netflix canceled the series
following its steep decline.

Netflix canceled several major shows in 2025 due to steep
audience drops. The Recruit dropped 42.1 percent in Season 2 and
failed to draw enough viewers to continue. The Sandman lost
60 percent of its audience after a long delay and controversy
involving Neil Gaiman. The Witcher dropped 52 percent in Season 4.
Viewers reacted negatively to the casting change from Henry Cavill
to Liam Hemsworth. It seems Netflix kept the show alive because it
had already renewed it.

These losses followed a broader 2025 trend. Almost every returning
English-language Netflix series lost viewers. Netflix & Chiffres
measured each show by comparing the first 28 days of a season to
the same period for the previous one. Stranger Things was the only
show to gain viewers in 2025. It rose 2.25 percent over Season 4.
In 2024, Bridgerton had been the only series to grow its audience.

Netflix data shows that sharp declines hit even top-tier shows.
Wednesday Season 2 dropped 42.6 percent but still reached over
100 million completed viewing equivalents. Nobody Wants This
dropped 40.1 percent but earned a renewal due to a strong Emmy
performance. Tires and XO, Kitty kept their drops under 20 percent.
These shows survived. Most shows that lost over 40 percent and
lacked major awards or viewership did not.

Netflix & Chiffres data shows that without awards or high
viewership, major audience drops led to cancellations in 2025.

Geez - maybe it's because Netflix's shows are all crappy, and get even
worse after season #1?!!

Probably, but it is a little misleading. Almost *every* show ever made
loses viewers after the first season (if not the first few episodes)
because 'everyone' tunes in to see what the new over-hyped toy on the
block is like, and then those who don't like it drop away again.
