In recent years, it appears that Netflix has settled on a particular strategy with regard to its television programming: Many of the streaming network’s series are ending after three seasons. Why? Because series get more expensive to produce after three seasons, and after three seasons, they’re also less likely to bring in new subscribers. It’s not a hard and fast rule — there are obviously exceptions with its juggernaut series like Stranger Things, The Crown, probably Witcher — but it’s common to see otherwise popular series end after three seasons (like Santa Clarita Diet and even Dead to Me).
With Netflix producing so much new content, and canceling so many new series, here is a quick glimpse of the status of all the English-language scripted programming on the streamer. This list covers all the scripted programming that aired in 2020, or series with statuses that are still pending.
