Netflix Cancels The Abandons and The Vince Staples Show After New Viewership Data

The moves reflect low early engagement per Netflix’s latest report.

Overview

  • Netflix confirmed it will not renew The Abandons for season 2 or The Vince Staples Show for season 3.
  • The Abandons drew about 19.8 million views in its first 28 days after its December 4 debut, spending two weeks at No. 4 before dropping out of the Top 10.
  • Season 2 of The Vince Staples Show logged roughly 1.7 million views after its November 6 release, ranking No. 1,446 in Netflix’s second‑half 2025 engagement report and never reaching the Weekly Top 10.
  • The Abandons encountered late‑stage production issues, with creator Kurt Sutter departing weeks before filming concluded over reported creative differences.
  • Both series had brief runs — seven episodes for The Abandons and 11 across two seasons for Vince Staples — with cost, niche reach, and slate priorities cited in coverage as factors, and viewers noting the Western ends on a cliffhanger.
