Friends From College<\/em> starred Keegan-Michael Key<\/strong>, Fred Savage<\/strong>, Annie Parisse<\/strong>, Nat Faxon<\/strong>, Jae Suh Park<\/strong> and Cobie Smulders<\/a><\/strong>. The comedy, which was not met with much fanfare when it debuted in July 2017, ran for two seasons and produced 16 episodes. Season two dropped in January 2019.<\/p>\n

Jessica Jones<\/em>, The Punisher<\/em> and Friends From College<\/em> are just the latest to get canceled by Netflix as the streaming platform continues to grow. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings<\/strong> previously addressed the streamer’s cancellation thought process<\/a>, noting it comes down to how many people are watching (even though they don’t reveal that number to the public).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“What really matters is I hope our hit ratio is way too high right now,” Hastings said back in 2017<\/a>. “So, we’ve canceled very few shows\u2026I’m always pushing the content team, we have to take more risk. You have to try more crazy things, because we should have a higher cancel rate overall. Because then, what you get is you get some winners that are just unbelievable winners, like 13 Reasons Why. Over the last three months [13 Reasons Why<\/em>] has been a big hit for us. And you know, it surprised us too. I mean, it was a great show, but we didn’t realize just how it would catch on.”<\/p>\n

It comes down to viewers, but for the Marvel show, it’s twofold: Disney owned the Marvel shows, Netflix didn’t. And Disney is starting its own streaming service with original content, Disney+, a direct competitor to Netflix. While there hasn’t been official confirmation about why the Marvel and Netflix relationship ended, it’s easy to draw conclusions between the launch of Disney+ and cancellation of the Netflix shows. While commenting on the Netflix cancellations, Marvel Television’s Jeph Loeb<\/strong> teased<\/a> the story of the heroes from Netflix’s shows is not over.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
