We recently learned that Netflix, while remaining the streaming market leader, lost 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter of 2022. This is the first time in ten years that the platform has lost customers, so measures to overcome it are inevitable. to the situation. There was already talk of layoffs in its marketing division, and as expected certain series no longer have their continuity assured (although in the case of Netflix it is not that they had it before) ((and perhaps that is one of the reasons for the fall of subscribers)). as collected The Hollywood Reporterthe most recent victim is Space Forceseries in charge of Steve Carell y Greg Danielscreator of The Office. Although in this case it is quite understandable.
One of the great audience successes in recent years for Netflix has been given by the presence in the catalog of The Office. Although the sitcom has already passed Peacock in the US, the assembled public convinced Netflix to seek the collaboration of Daniels and Carell, and that is how it was promoted Space Force. The series was inspired by the intention of the former president Donald Trump of the space force becoming the sixth US military branch, with an astronomical increase in the budget, and Carell had to lead the corresponding initiative as a leading actor. He also served as co-creator and executive producer, which led to his being paid a million dollars per episode and breaking something of a record by company standards.
Go that Space Force it was expensive. And this budget did not pay off with positive reviews. The first season of 10 episodes of Space Force received a lukewarm reception, so Netflix forced changes to the second installment, such as moving production from Los Angeles to Vancouver to cut costs and hire new writers. The second season failed to strengthen the appeal of Space Force, so that Netflix has ended up opting not to renew it for a third installment. It does not mean that his collaboration with Daniels has ended, however, since right now he has two animated series underway with him (Bad Crimes y Exploding Kittens) that produces together with Mike Judgecreator of king of the hill y Beavis y Butt-head.
