Netflix Has Now Quietly Canceled 11 Shows in 2026
Netflix creates more than 700 original titles every year for its more than 200 million monthly users.
While the streaming giant has produced a number of the greatest shows of all time like Dark and Stranger Things, not every show is going to be a hit or receive the number of viewers necessary to make another season viable.
Recently, Netflix pulled the plug on an exciting new French language crime drama that brought its yearly total of canceled shows up to 11.
'Bandi' Canceled After Just 1 Season
Netflix made the decision to cancel French show Bandi after just one season, weeks after the show initially debuted in early April.
"A difficult decision that was not taken lightly," Netflix said in a statement to French site RCI, which was translated to English by Google.
Despite its decision to cancel the show, Netflix remains proud of the product – even if it was for just one season.
"More than just a series, a true cultural moment that showcased Martinican talent, driven by the vision of Eric and Capucine Rochant and the exceptional commitment of the actors and the entire team," it said. "We are extremely proud of Bandi."
10 Other Shows Canceled by Netflix This Year
Bandi is just the latest show to be canceled by the streaming giant this year, along with a number of surprises like The Abandons, which had an all-star cast and momentum.
Here's a list of the 10 other shows canceled this year:
- The Abandons
- Terminator Zero

There will likely be more cancellations in the months to come, but also plenty of hits.
