Netflix cancels Chambers after one season
David Farnor | On 22, Jun 2019
Netflix has cancelled Chambers after only one season.
The streaming giant has increased the number of shows it cancels just as it increases the number of shows it commissions, balancing its investment in productions with a culling of those that don’t perform to its expectations. Those that cost too much without bringing in a sizeable audience are quietly sent out to pasture, especially if they hail from a third party producer that typically costs more for them to licence without ownin the project outright.
Even with that broad shift in approach, though, there are only a handful of Netflix originals that have been axed after a single run: Everything Sucks, The Get Down, Girlboss and Gypsy. Now, that club has a new member, with supernatural Chambers passed up for renewal two months after its debut.
Uma Thurman starred in the supernatural drama, which followed a young heart attack survivor who becomes consumed by the mystery surrounding the heart that saved her life. However, the closer she gets to uncovering the truth about her donor’s sudden death, the more she starts taking on the characteristics of the deceased – some of which are troublingly sinister.
“Chambers will not return for a second season. We’re grateful to creator and showrunner Leah Rachel for bringing this story to us and to her fellow executive producers Alfonso Gomez Rejon, Steve Gaghan from Super Emotional, Winnie Kemp and Wolfgang Hammer from Super Deluxe, and Jennifer Yale. We’re also thankful to the tireless crew, and to our incredible cast, especially Uma Thurman, Tony Goldwyn and talented newcomer Sivan Alyra Rose,” Netflix said in a statement.
