This is the latest of several shows that have recently been cut off on the streaming services, with shows V-Wars and October Faction cancelled back in March. At the time, the creator of V-Wars, Jonathan Maberry, tweeted about the cancellation, writing: "So, I guess the bad news is already out. #vwars." He added that he hadn't been informed that Netflix had made the decision until he had seen an article about it. Replying to a fan who asked him about the cancellation, he wrote: "We're all finding out via the news story," adding that it was a surprise as they "were number #1 in so many global markets".
