What’s the scoop behind the axing of these globally celebrated Netflix series? Dive into the drama of Netflix’s decision to pull the plug on these top-charting Korean dramas on Netflix, leaving us all wondering: what gives, Netflix? Join us as we unravel the mystery behind why these Netflix series were canceled despite their undeniable charm and skyrocketing popularity.
Netflix Canceled Ongoing Series and Korean Dramas Despite its Massive Popularity
Netflix has done it again! Despite its massive popularity and ongoing process, Netflix has mysteriously canceled MORE of its ongoing series and Korean dramas.
Multiple international media reported last week that Netflix has marked some of its latest shows as “Limited Series.” This label means that all these Korean dramas will only broadcast for the current season. Therefore, there will be no possible extension for all these Korean dramas on Netflix.
Furthermore, there are also various meanings behind Netflix’s limited series. Firstly, it means that the creators behind these Korean dramas have decided upon an early conclusion on their projects. They believe that one season is enough for all these series and that further seasons will not be possible.
On the other hand, the label may also mean that Netflix has planned for an initial cancelation after learning about the public’s responses to these Korean dramas. All in all, the term “Limited Series” means that Season 2 of these Netflix series is entirely impossible, regardless of the reasons.
5 Latest Shows Marked as “Limited Series”
Here are 5 of Netflix’s ongoing series and Korean dramas that will no longer see another season.
5. The Bequeathed
Firstly, we have “The Bequeathed,” starring Park Hee Soon and Kim Hyun Joo. Netflix broadcasted this series on January 19 this year and canceled it only a month after it aired.
4. My Demon
Indeed, it is shocking that Netflix has canceled one of its most popular series and Korean dramas, “My Demon.” Although the series placed at #2 in last year’s ranking, the company decided not to renew the series for another season.
3. Captivating the King
Thirdly, Netflix has also canceled one of its highly-anticipated series, “Captivating the King.” Starring Jo Jung Suk and Shin Se Kyung, the drama has received massive praise from the global audience. And yet, there seem to be no plans to continue the series for another season.
2. Welcome to Samdalri
Next, it is truly unfortunate, but you won’t be seeing another season of “Welcome to Samdalri.” Although the show proved to be one of the most heartwarming healing dramas, Netflix still canceled the series. Was it because of the creators? Or did the company not believe the drama deserves another season? No official reason is available as of today, unfortunately.
1. Doctor Slump
Finally, despite its recent release, apparently, Netflix has canceled one of its rising Korean dramas, “Doctor Slump.”Starring Park Hyun Sik and Park Shin Hye, the new drama has captivated the audience even before its broadcast. After all, this series is a reunion between the two main cast, who previously starred in “The Heirs.”
Still, Netflix does not believe that Season 2 of “Doctor Slump” is necessary and has decided to cancel this series.
As we wrap up, it’s clear that Netflix’s decision to cancel these beloved Korean dramas leaves us with more questions than answers. While specifics from the creators or Netflix are scarce, the influence of these shows stretches far and wide, touching fans across the globe.
The world of OTT platforms is ever-changing, introducing Korean dramas to a wider audience and showcasing their unique charm and storytelling. Though we’re saying goodbye to some favorites, the journey doesn’t end here.
