Netflix Cancels Another Show

Netflix has reportedly cancelled another of its shows after one season, the competitive figure skating drama Spinning Out. The decision came quickly after its January 1 premiere, as Netflix considers one month of viewership data before making 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.

This includes a silhouette of Omega's former tag team partner, Kota Ibushi. You can check out the video for yourself below. The sound effects and dialogue from the end of that section are taken directly from Undertale. After the video package ended, Omega entered wearing a Sans mask, while Megalovania--the song from the game--played in the arena. Surprisingly, this worked incredibly well as entrance music for one of t...
