Beyond The Get Down and Sense8, Netflix CEO Reed Hasting recently spoke about aiming for a higher cancel rate for Netflix original series.
Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos defends cancelling Baz Luhrman’s The Get Down and the Wachowskis’ Sense8 due to high costs and low viewership.
It wasn’t until last month that the streaming service made their first high-profile cancellation, when Netflix axed The Get Down after one season.
But relative to what it cost to make [The Get Down], we couldn’t put together enough audience to support those economics.
