Summary
- Netflix cancels five shows, including Shadow and Bone, while evaluating their content strategy post-actors strike.
- The streaming service canceled two live-action shows total, also including Glamorous.
- The three animated shows that were canceled are Agent Elvis, Farzar, and Captain Fall.
Shadow and Bone, along with four other shows, has been cancelled at Netflix. The streaming service has undergone some major changes in the past year as the streaming landscape has shifted and subscriber counts have been less consistent. Some recent changes include focusing their content strategy away from big-budget blockbuster releases like Red Notice and introducing a cheaper ad-based tier below the streamer’s basic tier.
Per Deadline, Netflix is evaluating their slate of shows following the end of the Screen Actors Guild strike, which lasted for 118 days as actors fought for fair pay. The result of this evaluation has been the cancelation of the live-action shows Glamorous and Shadow and Bone. Also on the chopping block were three animated shows, namely Agent Elvis, Farzar, and Captain Fall.
