Overview

  • Netflix has officially canceled The Residence, Pulse and No Good Deed after one season each, ending all without confirmed renewals.
  • The Residence logged 177.4 million streamed hours worldwide in its first four weeks but was cut over its high production costs and chart competition.
  • Production of The Residence was further challenged by actor Andre Braugher’s death in 2023 and industry strikes that drove up set and scheduling expenses.
  • Pulse struggled to maintain its early viewership in a crowded medical drama field, and No Good Deed retains only a theoretical anthology option without concrete renewal plans.
  • The shake-up underscores Netflix’s strict renewal criteria, which weigh cost efficiency and audience momentum when reallocating resources.
