After just one season, Netflix decided to pull the plug on its comedy-drama Everything Sucks!. This news was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter on Friday.
Set in the late-1990s, the series parodied the teen culture of the time and followed a group of high school students who decide to make a movie together. It was created by Ben York Jones (Like Crazy) and Michael Mohan (Save the Date), with the latter one serving as a director as well.
Netflix released the first season of Everything Sucks! on February 16, 2018, which rolled out to mixed reviews. Despite the negatives, the series was praised for the “treatment of its young characters.”
The cancellation of Everything Sucks! comes shortly after Jones and Mohan said that they are already planning season two, given the fact that the first season ended with a cliffhanger.
“We’ve thought about it a great deal and hope the details will hopefully, if it comes true, it should be good at season two,” said Jones in February while talking with Uproxx.
“We write in Ben’s office, and we just cover the walls with these giant Post-Its, so if you were to walk in there right now, it kinda looks like something out of like when they’re tracking down the killer in Seven, with little notes scrawled here and there. But it’s actually a map for what season two would be,” added Mohan.
Everything Sucks! isn’t the only Netflix original to be canceled after one season since Girlboss, Gypsy and The Get Down all met the same fate. The streaming service recently also decided to ax Chuck Lorre’s comedy Disjointed.
