Netflix cancels FIVE popular shows after months of Hollywood strikes leaving fans distraught: ‘No one speak to me ever again’

Netflix have canceled five shows due to the lingering fallout from seven months of Hollywood strikes.

November 9 marked the end of the SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike but its consequences, and those of the writers’ strike, continue.

Both strikes lasted four months: the WGA writers from May to September and the actors from July to November.

Due to the hit these strikes had on Netflix’s finances, the streaming service has decided to cancel Glamorous, Agent Elvis, Farzar, Captain Fall and Shadow And Bone, with fans mourning the loss of their beloved shows.

Here’s a look at all five Netflix shows that are no longer in production – and what fans had to say about them.

Officer Elvis

The animated series reimagines King of Rock and Roll Elvis as he trades his jumpsuit for a jetpack when he takes part in a secret spy program to stop villains from destroying the world.

The series featured a host of celebrities, with Matthew McConaughey voicing Elvis, while Priscilla Presley played herself.

Baz Luhrman, Christina Hendricks and Simon Pegg also had cameo roles in the 10-episode series.

Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their misery after it was canceled after one season: ‘Netflix, you’re sucking Agent Elvis away from us’ and adds a crying face.’; “I’m going on strike and canceling my Netflix account until Agent Elvis returns.”

‘Rip Officer Elvis, you were hot and sick, I miss you’;l ;’My heart is broken by the news of Officer Elvis, but at the same time my heart is warmed by the news of the Christmas special at Graceland, what a day!’ Another said, staying positive.

I am mad. #SaveShadowAndBone’; “Trying to pretend that the cancellation of Shadow and Bone has anything to do with the strikes instead of Netflix doing what Netflix always does is, frankly, insulting.” Wrote a very skeptical third fan.

‘SHADOW AND BONE HAS BEEN CANCELLED!?!????’; ‘Shadow and bone cancelled… no one ever speaks to me again…’.
