An old Netflix Twitter post reassuring audiences that they try to avoid cancelling shows has resurfaced shortly after fan favourites including 1899, The Midnight Club and Warrior Nun were shelved.
In 2017, the streaming service made a post on social media addressing the backlash it received following the cancellation of sci-fi drama Sense8, after the second season ended on a cliffhanger.
The response was so strong that Netflix ended up producing a two-and-a-half-hour series finale that was released the next year.
But before this, in the same month it announced it was pulling the plug on the show, the company claimed: ‘We don’t like leaving a story unfinished.’
‘We learned a lot from Sense and we’re going to try not to do this in the future,’ the official Twitter account wrote.
This week, internet sleuths unearthed the old tweet, and they didn’t waste any time in calling out the fact that Netflix seemed to have not learnt its lesson.
Many joked the statement hadn’t aged well, while others pointed out several shows that had been cut short.
In the past few months alone, Netflix has called time on progammes including Uncoupled, Warrior Nun, The Midnight Club, Blockbuster, Partner Track, Fate: The Winx Saga, First Kill, Archive 81, The Baby-Sitters Club, The Chair, Resident Evil and Raising Dion.

Its YouTube channel is also regularly flooded with comments from fans of teen drama The Society, asking for a second season, after the series was axed in 2020.
While many shows are facing the chopping block, others are getting the chance to return, with Wednesday recently being renewed for a second season, a new dating show called Perfect Match being announced, as well as a Power Rangers reunion.
