US EditionNetflix Just Cancelled Two New Shows — and Looks Set to Cancel a Third
- Netflix canceled the mystery drama The Residence and medical drama Pulse, both after one season, with No Good Deed placed on indefinite pause as of mid-2025.
- The cancellations followed middling reviews and competitive streaming conditions, including The Residence's high costs and Pulse's lukewarm critical reception and timing near The Pitt's finale.
- Premiering on April 3, 2024, Pulse focused on medical residents in Miami and attracted 6.5 million viewers during its debut. The series reached its highest weekly viewership at 8.5 million, climbed to the #3 spot on Netflix's global rankings, and remained among the Top 10 English-language shows for a month.
- The Residence, led by Uzo Aduba investigating a White House murder, logged 177 million viewing hours, peaked at #2 with 8.8 million views, but its renewal was hindered by high production costs and overshadowing by Netflix's Adolescence.
- No Good Deed's future remains uncertain, as Netflix has no current plans to continue it, though a potential anthology reboot with a new cast remains a possibility according to industry reports.
