Sarandos was asked about the constant backlash to canceling content, to which he responded to Bloomberg, “We have never canceled a successful show.”

He continued, “A lot of these shows were well-intended but talk to a very small audience on a very big budget. The key to it is you have to be able to talk to a small audience on a small budget and a large audience at a large budget. If you do that well, you can do that forever.”

Unfortunately, a lot of fans will disagree with Sarandos‘ assessment. Netflix canceled a whopping 23 TV shows in 2022 (with 3 that were never officially announced to the public!)
