Fans get mad on Netflix as they cancel 1899 while announcing the renewal of the megahit supernatural show Wednesday.

Netflix Receives Backlash For Cancelling &#8216;1899&#8217;, While Renewing Jenna Ortega&#8217;s &#8216;Wednesday&#8217; For Season 2

Netflix has faced a lot of turbulence in terms of subscriptions and viewers
lately. However, the year 2022 saw the return of the water cooler moments with
buzzing charting rates and recording breaking streams. From noteworthy thriller
whodunnit movies to cult shows like Stranger Things, fans were enraptured by the
revival of their favorites. Adding much to the enthusiasm, the twisted spinoff
of the 90s iconic Addams Family Wednesday landed on the platform.



This remarkable coming-of-age comedy created by Tim Burton brought us the teen
version of Addams’ nihilistic daughter for the first time. The incarnation of
this stormy cloud played by Jenna Ortega turned out to be the best decision. Her
pigtail braids, high-necked collar, and surly vibe instantly won the heart of
viewers. And now she is ready to come back once again, but fans don’t seem as
rejoiced as they were before.


FANS HAVING A BITTERSWEET MOMENT AS WEDNESDAY GETS RENEWED AND 1899 DUMPED

Dropping the biggest bomb in the first week of 2023, Netflix announced the
return of blockbuster success Wednesday. The news came through a video where
Jenna Ortega aka Wednesday thanked fans for all the love. While she also
promised to continue the torturous journey with more misery and bloodshed in
Season 2.



Moreover, the showrunners also expressed their excitement for season 2 after
seeing the enormous praise they received for the show. “We can’t wait to dive
headfirst into another season and explore the kooky, spooky world of Nevermore,”
Miles Millar and Alfred Gough told Tudum

Even though the show has garnered great fandom and people are happy for the
renewal, they couldn’t neglect the fact that the German period mystery 1899 got
dumped just days before Wednesday’s renewal. Since the sci-fi drama was an
instant success and amassed 79.27 million hours viewed within three days of
release, fans are asking Netflix to change their decision and there are about
35000 petitioners who signed
[https://www.msn.com/en-in/entertainment/tv/1899-cancellation-35000-angry-fans-petition-netflix-to-renew-the-show/ar-AA15XBXG]
the petition to bring back the show.



Meanwhile, it seems that the plans of the streaming giant have failed who first
gave the bad news about 1899 and later announced season 2 of Wednesday. Fans not
backing down so soon tells the ongoing battle on Twitter.

One fan said
[https://twitter.com/oblivionhotel/status/1611435169076121602?s=20&t=Y7BNPCEPN7hSCkBLaVKjJQ]:
“netflix renewing wednesday but not 1899, i’m in your goddamn walls.”

“The premiere of Wednesday overshadowed the premiere of 1899. We cannot now let
the decision and publicity of season 2 of Wednesday overshadow the fight for the
renewal of 1899! #save1899 #renew1899,” posted
[https://twitter.com/KasiaSzubinska/status/1611427263039283216?s=20&t=Y7BNPCEPN7hSCkBLaVKjJQ]
second fan. 

Another added
[https://twitter.com/DamolaBA/status/1611412188194816012?s=20&t=Y7BNPCEPN7hSCkBLaVKjJQ]:
“I blame “Wednesday” for “1899” even though I enjoyed the show. Do you know how
long I waited for something like “dark” to come out???”
