First Kill has no more blood to drain. Netflix shocked everyone on August 2 by not picking up its hit vampire drama for a second season, despite the debut season reportedly garnering massive ratings and a devoted fandom. Naturally, fans got their fangs out online.
Deadline reported the show didn’t meet the viewership thresholds for Netflix renewal, which made no sense to fans who knew it did huge numbers.
People also called out the much worse-performing Netflix properties that got sequels, like the incredibly controversial 365 Days film series.
The cancellation update hit extra hard because it came days after Prime Video canceled The Wilds, another show that centered a female LGBTQ+ romance.
