Netflix has countered accusations that it disproportionately cancels more shows than other networks and platforms by revealing data around the percentage of shows that it renews.
The streamer’s Global Head of TV Bela Bajaria revealed that it has a program renewal rate of around 67% – something that she said was in line with industry standards.
But Bajaria and her boss, Co-CEO Ted Sarandos, speaking at the Paley International Council Summit, admitted that it sometimes feels that Netflix cancels more shows than others. Sarandos said it was “disproportionately” big news when a show gets canceled at Netflix.
“If you look at season twos and more, we actually have a renewal rate of 67%, which is industry standard,” Bajaria said. “We also do make a large amount of first season shows, which sometimes feels that we have more first season cancellations but if you look at the renewal rate it’s really strong.
