The big-budget series from the makers of DARK had high expectations and high expectations to fill.
The mysterious sci-fi show was one of Netflix’s most ambitious shows in years, using cutting-edge technology and featuring an impressive cast.
Why was 1899 cancelled?
Data provided to What’s on Netflix by European SVOD analytics company Digital i suggests that the completion rate was ultimately too low and probably did not grow substantially. Their data suggests that only about a third of the people who started the program finished the title.

The animated series Inside Job initially received a season 2 renewal order in June 2022. Still, in January 2023, the creator confirmed rumors that Netflix had reversed the decision to renew.
in a statement on Twitterthe show’s creator, Shion Takeuchi, said:
“I am heartbroken to confirm that Netflix has decided to cancel Season 2 of Inside Job. Over the years these characters have become real people to me and I’m devastated that I can’t see them grow up. Reagan and Brett deserved to have their end and finally find happiness. And I would have loved to share what was in store with all of you.
To everyone who watched, thank you for joining us on the journey. Even though I’m sad, it helps to know that there are people who care as much about these characters as I do.»
