Netflix Cancel 'Girlboss' After One Season
Streaming platform big boy Netflix has canned the original comedy series Girlboss, based off Sophia Amoruso's popular autobiography.
The series featured a rebellious and broke anarchist, Sophia, who essentially refuses to grow up. She happens to discover a passion for selling vintage clothes online becoming a businesswoman through the success.
Netflix has cancelled other original series recently but overall has maintained a high rate of signing for more seasons. “Relative to what you spent, are people watching it?,” Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said at PGA’s Produced By conference. “When I say that, a big expensive show for a huge audience is great. A big, expensive show for a tiny audience is hard even in our model to make that work very long.”
Girlboss was rather poorly rated and just didn't manage to secure a sizeable enough audience to justify Netflix keeping the show going. "We’re creating a show in which the lead is maybe unlikeable," acknowledged writer and executive producer Kay Cannon back in February.
Girlboss debuted on Netflix on April 21st, 2017 with 13 episodes.
