This may not be a huge surprise to many. Netflix canceled a lot of shows based on watch-hours data, but there was a huge expectation from the streaming service that they may give 1899 a chance, especially due to the success of Dark, which gathered a large fan base over time. Maybe this is the sign of things to come for Netflix, with a more cutthroat approach in mind.

Another theory raises from the movie’s cost. 1899's cancellation might have something to do with costs (just take a peek at Netflix's behind-the-scenes special Making 1899 for a look at all that tech ( including groundbreaking LED sets). The series is a must-watch because of the technology they used to create it. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Friese and bo Odar decided to do something new with 1899 by using “The Volume” instead of traditional green screens. If you love 1899, you should definitely check out the documentary that came out alongside the series, titled Making 1899, which takes viewers behind the scenes of the highly sophisticated production.

The streaming service has been pinching pennies since 2019 when price hikes saw subscribers bailing by the bucketload. Netflix currently appears to be back on track, spending $17 billion on content in 2022.
