The Netflix series The Waterfront has been canceled after one season.<\/p>\n

The crime drama series starred Holt McCallany<\/a>, Maria Bello<\/a>, Jake Weary<\/a>, and Melissa Benoist<\/a> and followed the \u201cflawed Buckley family as their attempts to retain control of their crumbling North Carolina fishing empire drive them to increasingly dangerous means to keep themselves afloat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> reports the series creator Kevin Williamson has \u201ctold the cast about the streamer\u2019s decision, and crew members also have been informed that there would be no Season 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision appears to be a surprise.<\/p>\n

The outlet reports that The Waterfront seemed to be a strong contender for a second season thanks to \u201csolid\u201d viewership, including five weeks in Netflix\u2019s Top 10 for English-language shows on the global chart. The show also performed better than the series Ransom Canyon, which was recently renewed for a second season.<\/p>\n

Deadline notes that Netflix will often taken a show\u2019s \u201ccompletion rate\u201d into consideration. This is the rate of people who have finished all episodes of the show after starting a season. While sources said the rate for The Waterfront was \u201cgood,\u201d Netflix reportedly \u201cdidn\u2019t feel that the viewership and the completion rate were high enough to secure a renewal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Completion rates are not made public, so we only have been able to see the overall viewership numbers to gauge the success of the show. <\/p>\n
