Overview

• Both Pulse and The Residence spent four weeks in Netflix’s weekly global Top 10 but fell short of internal benchmarks with Pulse peaking at 8.5 million views and The Residence at 8.8 million.
• Pulse, starring Willa Fitzgerald and Colin Woodell in a Miami hospital drama, was quietly axed over a month ago after facing stiff competition from Max’s The Pitt.
• The Residence, a Shondaland murder mystery led by Uzo Aduba as Detective Cordelia Cupp, proved costly to renew after constructing a seven-stage White House set with 10 miles of molding and 200 working doors.
• No Good Deed, Liz Feldman’s dark comedy anthology, remains on indefinite hiatus with no confirmed second season but retains the option for a future installment.
• These decisions raise Netflix’s scripted cancellation tally to three in 2025—joining The Recruit—even as the streamer greenlights numerous renewals based on swift global impact and cost-benefit analyses.
