Netflix cancels Altered Carbon after two seasons

Netflix has not been messing with its cancellations lately: Altered Carbon is the last show to see the exit, canceled after two seasons.

“Netflix’s decision not to continue with further seasons was made in April and is not COVID – related, but stems from the streamer’s viewing process against the cost update,” Deadline reported Wednesday.

Netflix did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The news follows the cancellations of the teen series The Society and I Am Not Okay With This, shows that were previously updated before Netflix canceled them, due to COVID-related reasons.

Altered Carbon played two different leads as Takeshi Kovacs, a former soldier – Joel Kinnaman in season one and Anthony Mackie in season two. Set in a future where consciousness can be transferred to various bodies, explored the ambitious cyberpunk series technology, AI and cyberspace, and created an anime film, Altered Carbon: Resleeved.

Fans of the show are pretty excited.

“This is why I’m having trouble committing to everything Netflix does. Lord help me if it takes me more than a few episodes to commit …” one tweeted.

I still carry a grudge # Sense8

While others were not under the impression of season two.

“The first season was good. The second was a decline,” tweeted another.
