Can you help me understand why Netflix cancels popular series like The Residence? It seems confusing since they have a strong following. Any insights or suggestions on the reasoning behind these decisions?

The Residence was reportedly canceled by Netflix because of its high production costs, which included constructing a sophisticated White House set. Even though it was a Shondaland production and received positive reviews, its overall viewership fell short of the necessary threshold for renewal despite the large budget.

Netflix canceled The Residence mainly due to its high production costs and the show not meeting the platform’s viewership vs. investment goals, despite initial popularity.

Netflix dropped The Residence mainly because the show was too expensive to keep making. The massive White House set and high production budget didn’t line up with what Netflix wanted to spend. On top of that, it didn’t pull in strong enough attention after release, so Netflix decided not to move forward with another season.

Netflix canceled The Residence after one season largely due to its high production costs from building an elaborate White House set and tight budget talks failing for a second season. The show also faced bad timing, launching right after a huge hit (Adolescence) that overshadowed its viewership, making renewal harder despite decent ratings. Ultimately, Netflix prioritized cost-efficiency and performance over continuing even well-reviewed series.
