Netflix continued its concert overhaul in June by canceling two shows – both of which were canceled after just one season.<\/p>\n
Building the Band, a singing contest show, was canceled after just one season<\/a> following the untimely passing of former One Direction star Liam Payne<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cFeaturing a group of uniquely talented singers,\u00a0Building the Band\u00a0takes face-to-face encounters out of the musical equation. Instead, the contestants will find their perfect bandmates based on compatibility, connection, and, most importantly, merit,\u201d\u00a0Netflix wrote of the show<\/a>.<\/p>\n That wasn’t the most controversial cancellation, though.<\/p>\n ‘The Boroughs’ Canceled After 1 Season, Named Most-Surprising<\/p>\n One of the last Duffer Brothers shows to premiere before their exit for Paramount, The Boroughs delivered stellar reviews from critics, who gave the series a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n Despite strong reviews, Netflix opted to cancel the show after just one season, landing it on ScreenRant’s list of the “most surprising”<\/a> TV cancellations and earning the streaming giant a harsh message.<\/p>\n “While many factors might have contributed to its cancellation,\u00a0The Boroughs\u00a0seems like the perfect example of how Netflix\u2019s increasingly unforgiving approach to green lighting projects based on complex parameters is arguably harming streaming,” ScreenRant wrote.<\/p>\n Those two were just a couple of the many shows canceled by Netflix this year.<\/p>\n The Abandons, Terminator Zero, The Vince Staples Show, Pop The Balloon LIVE, Selling the City, With Love,\u00a0Meghan, Alice In Borderland, Class, Miss Governor, Strip Law, What\u2019s in the Box?, F1: The Academy, The Boroughs and Building the Band.<\/p>\n While it’s cancelling a number of shows, Netflix also renewed Funny AF With Kevin Hart, The Four Seasons, House of Guinness for new seasons and will conclude Devil May Cry and A Good Girls Guide to Murder with their third and final seasons.<\/p>\n Related: 1957 Classic, Named Among Best Westerns of All Time, Has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Men’s Journal<\/a> on Jul 5, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
