The Witcher hasn't been canceled. Netflix is expected to release the 2nd season later this year/early next year. :D

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Anne with an E was a beautiful tribute to Anne of Green Gables. It had a pretty good following and the characters were well beloved. I was so dissapointed when I heard that the show was cancelled as I was already fully invested. Thanks Netflix!

It was such a bad decision to end it, but I guess HBO did not have the monetary gains they had with Game of Thrones. However, they did try to wrap it up to the best of their abilities. Still, what a sad decision.

I was so mad how they ended Deadwood as well. That movie didn't really do it for me!!!!

I was very disappointed that the Netflix show Santa Clarita Diet was canceled. I genuinely enjoy watching (and re-watching it).

When I heard that Fox was canceling Star I was distraught. The cliffhanger was HUGE! I do not know how a show can end on a whole wedding shootout, but they sure did that. Another series that was canceled too soon was Anne with an E on Netflix. The ending was not as dramatic as Star, but the show could have been so much more!

I actually came close to tears when I found out that Anne With an E got canceled. It was such a great show and it really left it's audience with a number of unanswered questions. I especially wanted to see how Gilbert and Anne would navigate their newfound relationship but alas, everything is left up to my imagination now.

Very frustrated that "Manifest" was cancelled, fingers crossed that Netflix picks it back up! Great show, drama/romance/action and goes really in depth linking sci-fi to history and biblical references.

I was disappointed when I heard that The Secret Circle, The Tomorrow People and to a lesser extent, Star-Crossed were aired with only a single season. All had wonderful plots and were widely liked by a large audience, so why did they cancel them? Does anyone else think these series would have had a good following and could have been big hits?

for me it was secret circle, the actors were good and plot was better, I wonder why :eusa-think:

Luther! I absolutely loved the plot and the characters. They could make a million seasons and I would still be watching it.

I was looking forward to a series about Hernan Cortés with Javier Bardem and was incredibly sad when Amazon canceled because of Covid.

For tv series, none. But for a movie, I got disappointed when The Mortal Instruments after the City of Bones by Cassandra Clare was not continued. It would have hit blockbuster.
