New Netflix Show Canceled A Month After Debut

Another one of Netflix's original series has been canceled after one season. Spinning Out, the competitive figure skating drama just premiered on January 1, but it's not coming back for Season 2, as Netflix looks at the numbers for the first month of viewership, then makes decisions on renewals.

Deadline reports that Spinning Out premiered on January 1, having gone straight to series at Netflix after originating on the Canadian network Pop. Netflix traditionally gives one month to shows on the bubble, and this comes just after it similarly decided not to renew another drama, Soundtrack.

Spinning Out was created by real-life former competitive figure skater Samantha Stratton. It follows figure skater Kat Baker (Kaya Scodelario) after a bad fall derails her career. She link s up with a male partner for pairs skating and pursues a spot in the Olympics.

Netflix produces lots of new shows quickly and often cancels ones that aren't making the cut after only a season or two. In 2019, the streaming giant cancelled a number of shows including its Marvel slate, the cult favorite comedy One Day At A Time, and the long-running animated series Voltron: Legendary Defender.

Meanwhile, the company's viewing metrics have come under scrutiny lately. It recently changed its tally of a "view" from 70% of a given piece, to viewing just two minutes. It's also finally introduced a way to disable autoplay.
