The majority of the series only have one season out so far, and were likely selected for the axe because they didn't attract a large enough audience.

Those in that category include comedy drama Glamorous, alongside animated series Agent Elvis, Farzar and Captain Fall.

Another larger show Netflix decided not to bring back to screens is Shadow and Bone.

The news came despite the second series making its way to the top of Netflix's most-watched list.
