Netflix has cancelled two US series, V-Wars and October Faction.
Vampire series V-Wars starred Ian Somerhalder as a scientist racing against a killer disease. It premiered in December but ends at a single season.
Somerhalder was also a producer, telling TV Tonight, “I know that we can turn this show into not only a watercooler show, but into a very relevant, very controversial and very gripping streaming show. We don’t have the confines of network television. We can do whatever the hell we want. I want it to be raw and I want to be grounded. And I’m going to fight tooth and nail with my producing partners together to make sure that we make this happen.”
Sci-fi series October Faction starred Tamara Taylor and J.C. MacKenzie as a married couple who also work together as monster hunters.
It debuted in January but also ends at 1 season.

V-Wars could have been made for NBC it was so bland, this Vampire story had a prosaic predictability about it and Ian Somerlander eyes glared at the camera once too often, giving the impression the show was designed exclusively to highlight him.
I suspect that Netflix are going through a financial review at the moment, as some of their shows renewed in the past probably would have had only one season too if V-Wars is used as a comparison.
Netflix is looking for more bang for it’s buck, hopefully this wont mean that quality will suffer or worse still, more reality TV, or actual events themed shows start appearing.
I had V-Wars on my list of potential shows, but probably won’t bother now. Netflix is cancelling so many shows after 1 season that the message they’re now putting across is that you might as well not bother with any new content because it’s likely going to be cancelled anyway. I’m finding I much prefer Amazon Prime these days.
I just knew V Wars would be cancelled. It finished on such a cliff hanger too!
