Netflix is notorious for regularly removing old titles and introducing newer titles on its streaming platform for its audience. But 2022 has seen some tough times with the streaming giant, as Netflix stocks took a huge hit with investors withdrawing over a billion dollars.
Since then, the streaming giant has had to ax down multiple projects and even fan favorites or even ones with great critical reviews. Until and unless a title attains juggernaut success like Stranger Things, there is a minuscule chance of the streaming platform renewing the series for further installations.
Check out some of the top titles that got canceled by Netflix in 2022.
