The streaming giant ignited a fire by axing the critically acclaimed sitcom.
Justina Machado and Marcel Ruiz in"One Day at a Time." By Sonia Rao Sonia Rao Pop culture reporter Email Bio Follow March 15 at 5:28 PM Netflix announced Thursday that it wouldn’t renew the sitcom “One Day at a Time” for a fourth season. Just minutes later, co-creator Gloria Calderón Kellett tweeted, “This happens. This is part of the gig.”
“The choice did not come easily — we spent several weeks trying to find a way to make another season work but in the end simply not enough people watched to justify another season,” the Netflix account tweeted.This logic isn’t unusual, but for fans, it was frustrating to hear coming from Netflix because, unlike traditional TV networks, streaming services’ ratings and viewership statistics aren’t readily available to the public.
“I can’t thank Netflix and our partners at Sony enough for the three seasons, but I wish I could understand Netflix’s decision to not pick us up for a fourth,” Lear, an executive producer, said in a tweeted statement. “Is there really so little room in business for love and laughter?"
