Netflix: Subscribers angry after another cancellation

As with almost all series cancellations, fans rioted and protested, demanding that their program be saved. And this time Lockwood & co is in their sights. This British production was canceled by Netflix a few days ago after a short season. Information that does not sit well with subscribers who devoured the first season and readers of the saga from which it is adapted.

The latter did not wait until then Start a petition for him to survive. And fans have an idea: ask Prime Video to restore the rights. Currently, and after 4 days, only 11,000 people have signed it. So it’s not enough to get the attention of a rival platform or convince Netflix to back off.

“Netflix could make a decent deal of selling the rights to Season 2 to a platform that knows what to do with this amazing material. Let them roast in hell.”

“An excellent series that critics and viewers appreciate. It’s also well-reviewed. Why Netflix, why?”

“It is a special series. With 79 million hours watched in the 3 weeks since its release in January, the audience continues to grow. It could become a real phenomenon if Netflix promoted it. It deserves to be saved by a platform that realizes this.“

Especially since the SVOD giant canceled Lockwood anyway. Despite the series’ quite respectable scores internationally, its launch has remained rather shy compared to other equivalent productions. And it was his rather large budget that worked against him. Unlike Heartstopper (an English production aimed at the same target and achieving roughly the same scores), Lockwood and Co is a fantasy series about ghosts and magic. So special effects and longer post-production work.
