Every year in May, dozens of shows face the axe on network television, and often, fans reach out to Netflix to save them. We’ve looked at all the casualties this year and see if any should be on Netflix’s purchase list and most importantly, get your view at the bottom.
Of the big TV casualties this year, among them were Agent Carter, Castle, CSI: Cyber, The Family, Nashville, The Muppets, and Containment, so could any of these be revived by Netflix?
The most likely to be revived, given their current ongoing relationship with Marvel and its parent company, Disney, is Agent Carter. The Marvel series continues the story of Peggy Carter who you’ll remember from the original Captain America movie. It’s failed to garner any of the traction that Netflix’s series Daredevil and Jessica Jones has and could find a new home on Netflix along with its rumored spinoff ‘Most Wanted.’ A massive campaign to save the show has sprung to life. The campaign to save Agent Carter has already begun.
Let’s look at some of the big shows to be canceled. Castle is perhaps one of the biggest surprises, given that the show’s cast was all signed up for another season. Given that the cast was all signed up and had the rug pulled from beneath its feet, given a prompt response, Netflix could snap up the show relatively quickly.
Nashville is another show that has been arguably short-lived on ABC. The TV drama heavily emphasizes country music and has a massive following that will look to Netflix to revive their show.
A few other shows have known their fate for a while, including Hannibal and Person of Interest, which Netflix has already spent plenty of time reviving. We don’t think it’s going to happen at this point, however.
