Netflix fans rage ‘there’s nothing decent left’ as The Order axed after two seasons amid brutal cuts
NETFLIX has culled a number of high profile shows this year - and its latest axeing has sparked outrage.
With TV production more difficult than ever due to the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, the streaner has culled an array of popular series this year, with The Order the latest casualty.
The horror series amassed a loyal fanbase over the course of its two seasons, but alas, a third installment is not on the cards.
The show's creator, executive producer and writer Dennis Heaton took to Twitter to announce the cancellation and thank the people who worked on the show.
"For two seasons I was honored to work with an incredible cast and crew on The Order for @netflix," he began.
"It is one of the best experiences of my career. Unfortunately, we aren't returning, but I will always cherish the memories and the props I stole. Thank you all for watching," he added.
Fans were quick to reply with their outrage at the news and criticise Netflix's decision.

"FFS why are Netflix determined to cancel all my favourite shows this year?!" one user fumed.
A second echoed: "There will be nothing left on Netflix at this rate! 2020 is the worst."
While a third complained: "Seriously?! GLOW, The Society and now this? Shaking my head."
Others came forward to ask Heaton what his plans for season 3 were, pushing for some spoilers.
He explained that Jack was going to raise Alyssa from the dead, only for her "to come back wrong."

He went on: "Like, Pet Sematary wrong. Probably possessed by Zecchia. And a whole bunch of other corpses were coming back with her," he wrote.
Then inresponse to a fan who asked about the return of Vera's powers, he noted: "That was going to be a longer haul, but she'd get it back. And God help us all…"
On the upside, Heaton said that he would love to take fans back to the world of The order with a "ten-year reunion movie" one day.
Members of the cast also hit social media to discuss the show's cancellation.
