Another day, another Netflix cancellation. Unfortunately, the best streaming service has earned a reputation for canceling our favorite shows and a new sci-fi thriller.The districts, He is the last to be fired.
If this decision surprises you, you are not alone. The districts has performed well, receiving a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 97% after a month on the streamer.
I assumed it would return based on this, but it seems it hasn’t been successful enough to warrant a second outing. That, combined with the great cast, the fun premise, and the fact that stranger things Creators The Duffer Brothers were attached, which apparently made it a no-brainer to return for round two.
