Despite positive reviews and three Daytime Emmy Awards, Netflix decided not to renew "Julie and the Phantoms" for a second season, leaving fans disappointed. The first season ended with a cliffhanger, leaving many unanswered questions and indicating that the show was meant to continue with further storylines. The show's creators had plans for a second season, including exploring the ghosts' desire to share their music with the world, but unfortunately, those plans will never come to fruition due to the cancellation.

Though it was a vibrant and original addition to Netflix's massive library of shows, Julie and the Phantoms season 2 never materialized and the series was canceled after only one season. The musical comedy-drama television series was based on the Brazilian show Julie e os Fantasmas and was created by Dan Cross and David Hoge and executive produced by Kenny Ortega, who had previously signed a multi-year deal with Netflix.
