Netflix has already swung the cancellation axe in 2025 😬
  • Netflix has made its first big cancellation decision this year - and it's only February.
  • Many fan favourite shows have prematurely ended in recent years.
  • A price rise has been announced for customers in America.

Netflix is developing a bit of a growing reputation for brutally axing fan favourite shows. It has led to many campaigns on social media to “save” one programme or another.

Many viewers find themselves unwilling to commit to new series, until they know that they will get a chance to reach a proper ending. Perhaps causing a bit of a self-fulfilling cycle as users don’t tune in, meaning shows get cancelled and round-and-round.

As price rises have been announced for American users this year, you might find yourself questioning if Netflix is even still worth it. Especially if your new favourite show could be dropped at any moment.

But how many shows did the streaming giant actually cancel last year? And has it already swung the axe in 2025?
