Status Report: 47 Netflix Series That Were Either Canceled or Renewed In 2021
By Bryce Olin

Netflix has a reputation for canceling many of its original shows, but throughout 2021, we’ve seen the streaming giant announce far more renewals than cancellations. Below, you can see the full list of Netflix original shows canceled and renewed in 2021 (as of November 21, 2021). Last year, Netflix canceled and renewed a bunch of popular shows, so it’s easy to see why its subscribers are expecting a lot of news.
For example, in November 2021, Netflix renewed Arcane for a second season. It’s also been confirmed by creator Hwang Dong-hyuk that Squid Game season 2 will happen, according to Harper’s Bazaar. (Netflix has not confirmed the renewal yet.) In October 2021, Netflix renewed You for season 4. That renewal was announced before season 3 had even premiered, and it looks like season 5 might also be in the works. It’s only a matter of time before we start seeing more renewals and cancellations.
