HUGE Netflix series have come to an end in recent years like Sex Education and Orange Is The New Black. Other shows such as I Am Not Okay With This and The Order have also been given the axe by the global streaming giant.
Interestingly, Netflix is commissioning brand new instalments of several popular series to boost content. This move may aim to win back fans and retain subscribers following a subscriber drop after last year’s price hikes.
