American crime drama series The Waterfront, created by Kevin Williamson, which premiered on Netflix this year, has reportedly been cancelled. The streaming giant has decided to pull the plug on the show after season one, just two months after it made its debut. However, this decision has not gone down well with the netizens.
Why was The Waterfront cancelled?
Pulling the plug on the show has come as a surprise. As per the Deadline report, in the renewal decisions, Netflix executives give importance to performance vs cost, with other factors like awards recognition, social media buzz, and the type of audience tuning in.
Reportedly, Netflix didn't feel that the viewership of the show and the completion rate were high enough to secure a renewal for the second season. Reportedly, it is unclear whether the streamer' renewal threshold is higher for outside series, Universal TV scored quick renewals for its two most recent new scripted shows at Netflix.
