Oftentimes Netflix makes the decision to cancel shows that fans are deeply interested in. This is no doubt upsetting, especially when the shows tend to end on unanswered cliffhangers. This time, however, Netflix has made the decision to cancel a series that failed on their platform after a mere two seasons.
The series did perform well enough for its first season. However, it seems as though it’s the show’s second season where things went badly. In fact, the show’s second season didn’t even make it into the Top 10 category of Netflix.
For a platform that is very concerned with ratings, that essentially meant the death sentence.
As shared via Deadline:
“Netflix is not proceeding with a third season of Unstable, its comedy series starring and co-created/executive produced by Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe.”
As such, for those who are fans of the Netflix series Unstable, you shouldn’t expect a third season of the series. Especially because the show’s second season “drew fewer than 1.4M views in its opening weekend and fewer than 1.3M views in its first full week.”
However, that’s not necessarily it for Unstable. In fact, “producers had already been quietly shopping the show” according to the outlet. Although it can be tricky to find a new home for the series, even with Rob Lowe attempting to pitch the show to a new network. He reportedly already pitched the series to Fox, although the network is said to have declined picking up the project. As such, we’ll have to see where it goes from here.
Unstable starred Rob Lowe, John Owen Lowe, Sian Clifford, Aaron Branch, Rachel Marsh, and Emma Ferreira. Rob Lowe co-created the series with John Owen Lowe and Victor Fresco, which is said to have been inspired by the social media relationship between Rob Lowe and his son John Owen.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Netflix news as we have it. Though it’s possible for Unstable to find a new home on another platform, it’s very likely that it could have found its end with Netflix and their decision to cancel the failed series.
