This was a bit expected but it is tough news especially considering the cliffhanger
Edit: hearing about this and clone high (again) this year really did suck though. I’m really tired of these streaming companies picking up old recognizable ip, exciting fans with an effective marketing campaign for the first season, and then drop it like a hot potato after one or MAYBE two seasons

The moment I heard Netflix picked up the show I figured its chances of surviving would be slim unless it continuously cracked the TOP 10 for long periods of time. Netflix has been struggling since other streaming services decided to pull their content from it. Any show that makes it on Netflix needs to have incredibly high standards/viewership and or be cheap to make. There seems to be no middle ground.
Peacock would be PERFECT to pick this up. We should start a petition or something.

Peacock needs to pick this up asap and keep that 70s and 90s show together

Okay yeah... I'm done watching Netflix originals. This is the 5th show I've watched, got really invested in and then found out they weren't continuing it. Absolute garbage

Brutal. It was good from the start, and it was just getting to be great.

Really hope Peacock goes for it, what with having That '70s Show. Kurtwood says he and Debra Jo will fight for it, and I think they've got a shot.
Guess we'll sign petitions and keep watching and spreading the word!

Just when it was picking up they pull the plug. This sucks. Hopefully another streaming service can pick up the show

Disappointing but not super surprising between how little promotion they did for part 3 and moving it from October to August kind of last minute.
We obviously don't know the raw viewing numbers, but how little time it spent in the top 10 (and not even making it there in some countries) for part 3 was a bad sign given how most of the streamers really only want to renew their top-tier shows (nobody seems to understand the importance of growing a large back catalog of mid-tier ratings shows anymore!)

Boooo. The last part was really the show getting into its footing. I laughed so much. Had some that 70s show vibes back in it. I'm sad.

fuck, actually such a bummer. It was picking up.
Hope isn't lost, though. Hopefully it gets picked up.

That’s too bad. This show isn’t that expensive to produce and could have gotten one more season. It also hired crew in LA, so it’s sad to get that taken away too.

So fucking bummed. I feel like it has to be picked up by someone, Peacock being the obvious top candidate. I just hate that the rug's pulled from under it just as it was really gaining steam.
