Of course, this was a bad joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very soon, platforms started canceling shows just as quickly and ruthlessly as any TV network, whether it be FOX or Antena 3. <strong>The problem is that this has led to the belief that more cancellations occur in streaming than in traditional television<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is that true? After all, platforms seek successful series, just like traditional networks. <strong>If a show has high viewership relative to its production cost, it gets renewed<\/strong>. If not, it gets canceled. That&#8217;s how it has worked since the days of black and white television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Which Streaming Service Cancels TV Series at the Highest Rate?

As seen in the chart below, the major streamers (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Peacock, Paramount+) collectively had <strong>an average cancellation rate of 12.2%, not much higher than that of traditional TV at 10.8%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Grafico-cancelaciones-streaming-y-television-1024x642-1-1024x642.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-249236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Grafico-cancelaciones-streaming-y-television-1024x642-1-1024x642.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Grafico-cancelaciones-streaming-y-television-1024x642-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Grafico-cancelaciones-streaming-y-television-1024x642-1-768x482.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Grafico-cancelaciones-streaming-y-television-1024x642-1-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Grafico-cancelaciones-streaming-y-television-1024x642-1.jpg 1148w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Max (formerly HBO Max)<strong>, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, was by far the one that canceled the most, with a 26.9% cancellation rate<\/strong>. This might not come as a big surprise, as Max has axed a significant amount of content since the completion of the merger between Warner Bros. and Discovery in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After CEO David Zaslav took the reins, shows like &#8220;Minx,&#8221; &#8220;Love Life,&#8221; and a whole host of children&#8217;s programs were discarded in an effort to reduce the company&#8217;s substantial debt. <strong>Even HBO originals didn&#8217;t escape, and &#8220;Westworld&#8221; was canceled after four seasons in November 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Netflix has the reputation, but it&#8217;s unjustified<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Netflix is often used as the prime example of the network that &#8220;cancels everything,&#8221; <strong>the study reveals that the streaming service only canceled 10.2% of its programs in the analyzed period, ranking it fifth<\/strong>. This includes high-profile cancellations like &#8220;Cowboy Bebop,&#8221; which was canceled less than a month after its release in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An important caveat from this study: the volume of series on different platforms varies greatly. <strong>Part of what has made Netflix a magnet for cancellation criticism is the sheer volume of its original content: they produce more than anyone else<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple TV+ has the lowest cancellation rate among all of them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Apple TV+ had the lowest cancellation rate of any service, with only 4.9%<\/strong>. This is partly due to the absence of traditional catalog programming on the streaming service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Cancelaciones-entre-el-streaming-y-la-TV-tradicional-1024x692-3-1024x692.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-249256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Cancelaciones-entre-el-streaming-y-la-TV-tradicional-1024x692-3-1024x692.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Cancelaciones-entre-el-streaming-y-la-TV-tradicional-1024x692-3-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Cancelaciones-entre-el-streaming-y-la-TV-tradicional-1024x692-3-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Cancelaciones-entre-el-streaming-y-la-TV-tradicional-1024x692-3-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Cancelaciones-entre-el-streaming-y-la-TV-tradicional-1024x692-3.jpg 1065w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, if we look at the total number of series canceled on traditional TV and streaming, there is no significant difference. As seen in the chart below, <strong>there were 221 cancellations across all streaming services, compared to 193 on linear television<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the reputation that streaming platforms are quick to cancel is as true as it is for traditional television. <strong>Fortunately, we have more premieres than cancellations, and the offering has never been as extensive as it is now.
