Netflix has once again cancelled a beloved series from their streaming platform. This time, however, the cancellation was decided after the show’s star called the newest season “gimmicky.”
The age of social media has certainly taught those in the film industry to be careful with what they say. The consequences are often not worth it. Now, after one star called the second season of this new Netflix series “gimmicky” while speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, the hit show has been cancelled.
The cancellation was confirmed via Today. As a result, fans of Sex/Life will be disappointed to know that there will not be a third season of the show. This comes just days after star Sarah Shahi told the podcast that the show’s second season included “more moments that felt very gimmicky.”
She continued:
“Those kinds of things for me are always really hard to read… But I didn’t have to do them. The boys did. There were other things that I just felt I couldn’t get behind, and it was just challenging. But that’s part of what I do!” she said. “I’m not always gonna get along or agree with a filmmaker. I’m not always gonna like what I have to do or say. But that’s my job, to make it believable.”
She further explained her comment by discussing the differences between shooting the second season over the first:
“I’m not going to put it down, but I definitely did not have the support that I did the first season from the people involved in the show. It became a much different thing for me, and I’m not afraid to say that,” Shahi said. “I struggled with the material. I just felt the thing that it had the first season — I mean, I’m never gonna work for Netflix again now after saying all this, but I can’t lie. And it was definitely a challenge.”
As such, fans of Sex/Life will have to accept that the second season is considered the true finale. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates as we have them. For now, fans can stream the two seasons of the series Sex/Life on Netflix.
