Everything Sucks Cancelled
There was a time when streaming services were willing to let their original shows continue indefinitely. Those days are apparently over. Netflix’s Everything Sucks garnered good reviews and was just starting to build buzz, but that wasn’t enough for the streaming giant. The Hollywood Reporter reveals Netflix has given the ’90s teen drama the axe.
“We’re super proud of the show we made — and very proud that it found an audience of very passionate fans, for many of whom it became an important personal touchstone: either reflecting their current life, or an echo of their own teenage years,” said Everything Sucks executive producer Jeff Pinker. “We are grateful to Netflix for the opportunity, but are very disheartened we won’t be continuing to tell these stories.” Peyton Kennedy, who had earned several glowing reviews for her performance on the show, sent out this tweet in the wake of the cancellation.
Like you I’m heartbroken but I’m grateful I got to portray this complex & important character. Broken, closeted Kate blossomed into a teen icon. Love from fans & critics is testament to the power of her unique voice. I admire you for raising your unique voices. #iamkatemessner pic.twitter.com/Y5liRBZqCt — Peyton Kennedy (@peyton_kennedy) April 7, 2018
This cancellation seems like a bad (and, frankly, stupid) move on Netflix’s part. Everything Sucks may not have had the hype of Stranger Things, but it really did seem like the show was gaining momentum. On top of that, the show clearly wasn’t overly expensive for Netflix to produce. It would’ve made more sense for Netflix to give it at least one more season and see if the audience continued to grow.

Streaming Changes
All of this indicates a distinct tectonic shift in the streaming landscape. The days of streaming shows with indefinite seasons are seemingly at an end.
