Overview
- Netflix is not moving forward with a second season of the Western starring Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson, as first reported earlier this month.
- In a January 31 Instagram post, Sutter accused Netflix of choosing “the algorithm over a creator’s vision” and said more than $150 million was wasted; the post was later edited.
- Netflix’s own data show the series logged 19.8 million views in its first 28 days and spent two weeks in the English-language Top 10 before dropping out.
- Production was turbulent: Sutter exited about three weeks before wrap over creative differences, the initial 10-episode order was cut to seven, and the long premiere was reworked and split with added scenes.
- Netflix declined comment, while some coverage noted poor reviews, including a reported 30% Rotten Tomatoes score.
