13 More TV Shows Already Cancelled In 2019 (And Why)

Despite its popularity, the excellent Tuca & Bertie, which did for female relationships in animation what Bojack Horseman has done for crippling depression, will not be renewed for a second season by Netflix. It's a tragedy, particularly in terms of how much the show did for giving viewers a voice, but Netflix is an unforgiving platform at the minute.

It probably comes down to money, in the end. It can be no coincidence that the cancellation came after Netflix reported disappointing subscriber growth figures for the second quarter and a net loss of subscribers in the US. That leads to cost-cutting and existing shows not deemed to be new subscriber draws will go first.

It may not be the total end, however, as Tiffany Haddish has reportedly been talking about finding a new home for it with co-creator Lisa Hanawalt:

“I was late finding out it was canceled. Tuca & Bertie is close to me. It is amazing and needs to be seen. Who knows? It might end up somewhere else!”
