10 Netflix Original Shows Cancelled After One Season

10. The Irregulars

It might seem like forever ago now, but back in early 2021 The Irregulars aired to positive reviews and a strong audience reception, with many critics commenting on its strong cast work and narrative potential moving forward.

Unfortunately, the adventure series didn't get a chance to realise said potential, because Netflix axed it from their roster after its debut, and is so often the case refused to give a reason behind the cancellation.

An excellent, spooky riff on the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the show followed a group of teenagers living in Victorian London alongside Dr Watson, solving crimes seemingly linked to the supernatural.

Given its exciting premise, inventive genre-mixing and the top-pier work of its predominately young cast, it's difficult to say what could have caused the show to see its time cut so short, but it's safe to say it was a bad move all the same.
