Other popular titles included the second season of Ginny & Georgia, the Korean drama The Glory, the 2022 hit Wednesday, and the Bridgerton spin-off Queen Charlotte.

The decision to cancel the show came just a week after the ending of the Hollywood actors' strike.
But it seems like Netflix put its foot down when it came to Shadow and Bone, despite it racking up 193 million views.
Even though the series was a success, it was cancelled, making it the highest-ranking casualty on the list.
Interestingly, all the shows ranked higher than it were spared, leaving fans wondering why Shadow and Bone got the short end of the stick.
