Netflix does typically renew or cancel its shows several months after it airs but that’s not been the case with The Innocents.
The shows Twitter account remained active up until around a month after the show had aired with the last activity on the account being registered on September 18th.

Percelle Ascott, who plays Harry on the show has been involved in several other projects since including a rap Youtube series that the creator wants to bring to Netflix.
