Netflix is known for canceling shows, especially those that don’t become huge global hits like Stranger Things or Wednesday. The cancellation of GLOW, a popular show about female wrestlers, after it was already renewed for a fourth season, is a prime example. While GLOW lasted three seasons, other series weren’t so fortunate. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was canceled after just one season, even though critics loved it, and The OA only managed two seasons.
While it’s disappointing when a project gets canceled, the good news is the creative teams involved can still pursue their ideas and find new opportunities. We’re seeing this happen with a filmmaking pair who are now working on a significant project for a rival streaming service. This new project sounds similar to their previous work, and they hope it will help revive a deserving show that was previously canceled, bringing it to a wider audience.
Netflix Canceled One of the Best Comedy Series in Recent Memory
True crime shows have become incredibly popular lately, with recent hits like The Perfect Neighbor topping streaming charts. People seem fascinated by stories of serious crimes happening in otherwise quiet communities. Back in 2017, Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda created a funny take on this trend with American Vandal. The show was a spoof of true crime documentaries like Making a Murderer, and it followed a group of students who investigated a seemingly small crime as if it were a major mystery.
The first season of American Vandal was a huge success, praised by both critics and viewers for its clever humor and Jimmy Tatro’s performance. Season two took a risk by moving the story to a Catholic high school, featuring a memorable scene involving laxatives in the lemonade. While this outlandish plot could have easily ruined the show, it surprisingly managed to blend silly humor with insightful social observations. Despite impressive scores on Rotten Tomatoes and an Emmy nomination, the show was cancelled after just two seasons. However, the creators are now working on a new project, signaling a promising return for the team behind American Vandal.
James Gunn Sees Potential in the Creators of American Vandal
Perrault and Yacenda, the creators behind the popular show previously on Netflix, are teaming up again for HBO Max. This time, they’re working with James Gunn on a new series called DC Crime, a spin-off of the upcoming Superman movie in 2025. The show will follow Jimmy Olsen as he reports on the criminal underworld of the DC Universe, starting with a case involving the mind-controlling villain Gorilla Grodd. While it won’t be full of silly jokes, DC Crime will have a similar comedic style to their previous show, American Vandal, but with a superhero twist.
The new show, DC Crime, is still being developed, so it’s unclear if any actors from the previous Netflix series will return. However, actor Brett Tatro seems well-suited for a role in James Gunn’s DC universe, even though they haven’t worked together before. While he might not be the best fit for the character Grodd, his talents could definitely be utilized elsewhere in the show.
American Vandal is streaming on Netflix.
