Netflix’s Space Force workplace sitcom has been canceled after premiering in

Fans are surely devastated that the show won’t be getting a third season. As
seen in the reaction after a mild season one. Many felt that the show was
finally going in the right direction. Many felt that the second season was far
better than the first had was a great improvement.

However, Netflix had to make cost-cutting in order to have a long future.


BUT WHY WAS IT CANCELED?

Well, Netflix very seldomly announces reasons for its action. But we can try to
understand why Space Force was the next in line not to get a new season.

Viewership (along with critical acclaim) vs. cost is a crucial element in
Netflix’s pickup selections. Therefore, the rating renewal hurdle is high for a
costly program like Space Force.

Raising Dion

higher on the Nielsen Originals ranking, was also recently canceled by the
streaming service.

newest is the comedy show Exploding Kittens.
