  • The explosion of content from Netflix, Disney+ and other streamers has resulted in more TV shows than any human can possibly watch. And while the glut of content created something for everyone, the era of peak TV is over,

The article from MSN discusses the phenomenon of "cancel culture" within the television industry, particularly focusing on the trend of streaming services canceling shows after just one season. This practice has become increasingly common, with shows like "The Society" on Netflix, "High Fidelity" on Hulu, and "The Great" on Hulu being abruptly ended, often leaving fans and creators disappointed. The piece highlights how this new normal reflects broader changes in viewer habits, the economics of streaming platforms, and the high expectations for immediate success. It points out that the pressure for instant hits leads to a lack of patience for shows to find their audience over time, unlike traditional network television where shows might have been given more seasons to grow. The article also touches on the impact on writers, actors, and crew members who face job insecurity, and how this trend might affect the quality and diversity of content available to viewers.
