There are many great shows in this world and many of them get canceled unjustly, and they don’t get to finish the story they were trying to tell what’s even sadder is that sometimes they end on a note that needs some type of resolution and if it’s a Netflix original series there is even a higher chance of that. So, today we are making a list of every Netflix original series that was canceled in 2024.

Obliterated (2023)

Obliterated is a carefree action comedy-drama series created by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald. The Netflix series released its first and only season in November 2023 and it followed the story of an elite joint special-operations team trying to stop a deadly terrorist network from blowing up Las Vegas. When the team thinks that they have succeeded in their mission they go out and party hard all night but...

“American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy and frequent “AHS” star Sarah Paulson reunited back in 2020 for Netflix’s “Ratched,” an 8-episode series telling the origin story of iconic One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest villain Nurse Mildred Ratched. The series invited us to “meet the woman before the monster,” and the original plan was for a two season storyline.

Those plans have changed, however. As reported by Deadline, Sarah Paulson has confirmed this week that there will not be a second season of Netflix’s “Ratched” after all.

Two seasons of “Ratched” had originally been ordered up back in 2017.

Here’s the plot synopsis for the first season, which is streaming on Netflix…

“In 1947, Mildred arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital where new and unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind. On a clandestine mission, Mildred presents herself as the perfect image...

Sarah Paulson confirms that Ratched will not be returning for season 2. Paulson did not give a reason for the cancelation. However, it's possible it was due to Ratched's potentially high cost and Ryan Murphy's other commitments.

The fate of Ratched season 2 has been confirmed more than three years after the show aired its last episode. Created by Evan Romansky, with Ryan Murphy as executive producer, Ratched stars American Horror Story alum Sarah Paulson as the titular Nurse Mildred Ratched. Consisting of eight episodes, Ratched is a prequel to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a Miloš Forman film which itself was based on the seminal Ken Kesey novel of the same name.

Now, more than three years after the show's September 2020 binge release on Netflix, Paulson has confirmed that Ratched season 2 will not be happening. In a video by The AHS Zone (via TVLine), Paulson is asked whether...

After four years, what has long been suspected, has been confirmed. Despite an initial two-season order, Ratched, Ryan Murphy’s asylum drama series starring Sarah Paulson in the title role, has been canceled after one season at Netflix. Paulson confirmed the news in a video posted to a fan account on X (fka Twitter). You can watch it below.

Inspired by the diabolical Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ratched, from Murphy and Ian Brennan and executive produced by the film’s producer Michael Douglas, was set in mid-20th century Northern California. It centered around Mildred Ratched (Paulson), who lands a job at a psychiatric hospital as a nurse. The series followed the nurse’s first days navigating the mental healthcare system and her journey to head nurse in Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel.

The origin story, created by Evan Romansky, also starred Sharon Stone, Cynthia Nixon,...

Ratched season 2 is not confirmed, and there has been no word about it since the season 1 finale, raising doubts about its future. The departure of showrunner Ryan Murphy from Netflix further diminishes the chances of a season 2 for Ratched. If Ratched season 2 does happen, it is likely that Sarah Paulson will continue to star as the titular character, along with other surviving characters from season 1.

Fan curiosity abounds about whether there will be a Ratched season 2 on Netflix, and if so, when a release date and trailer will be announced. Based on Ken Kesey's 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the prequel horror show was created by Ryan Murphy and Evan Romansky. Ratched season 1 released in September 2020 and stars Sarah Paulson as Mildred Ratched. Ratched is a seemingly pleasant nurse with some dark secrets, including that she has a brother, Edmund Tolleson, played by American Horror Story mainstay Finn Wittrock.

Ratched Season 1 was a prequel to the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, following the origin story of Nurse Mildred Ratched, one of the best villains in film history. The series became one of Netflix's most-viewed series in 2020. Despite initial plans for a second season with 18 episodes, Ratched Season 2's status remains uncertain. Ryan Murphy's departure from Netflix and the busy schedules of the cast make future production difficult. If Ratched Season 2 does happen, viewers hope to see the complex relationship between Nurse Ratched and Edmund Tolleson play out, as well as the development of other storylines and new treatment techniques. However, there is currently no official update on the series' future.

Ratched made its debut on Netflix back in September 2020. The series served as a prequel to the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The series was well-received by viewers, with many loving Ratched's...

Painkiller is a drama miniseries created by Micah Fitzerman-Blue. The Netflix series is based on Patrick Radden Keefe‘s New Yorker article “The Family That Built an Empire of Pain” and Pain Killer: An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of America’s Opioid Epidemic by Barry Meier. Painkiller tells the origin story of the opioid crisis mainly through Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin. So, if you liked Painkiller here are some more dramatic shows you could watch next.

Synopsis: From Executive Producer Danny Strong and starring and executive produced by Michael Keaton, “Dopesick” examines how one company triggered the worst drug epidemic in American history. The series takes viewers to the epicenter of America’s struggle with opioid addiction, from the boardrooms of Big Pharma, to a distressed Virginia mining community, to the hallways of the DEA.

After Ratched received a two-season order from Netflix, many are wondering when the follow-up will premiere on the streaming service. 

Ratched is a psychological thriller series created by Evan Romansky and developed by Ryan Murphy. The series features Sarah Paulson in the titular role of Nurse Mildred Ratched. 

Ratched revolves around the life of Nurse Mildred prior to the events of the 1975 movie called One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

With seven nominations under her belt, it might feel like Sarah Paulson has been all over the Emmys for years. But the frequent collaborator of Ryan Murphy has only dominated a specific section of the awards: the limited series/TV movie categories. This year she has the opportunity to change that.

Paulson won her first and so far only Emmy for her lead performance as Marcia Clark on FX’s anthology series “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” in 2016. However, she has been nominated a total of three times in the Best Limited Series/TV Movie Actress category. Her other two bids were for the “Coven” and “Cult” installments of FX’s horror anthology series “American Horror Story.” Paulson’s other four Emmy nominations came in the corresponding supporting actress category and are for her performances in HBO’s “Game Change” as well as the “AHS” installments “Asylum,...

The first trailer for Ryan Murphy’s “The Prom,” the star-stuffed movie musical adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical, has landed from Netflix. Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, James Corden, Andrew Rannells, Keegan-Michael Key, and many more headline this flashy song-and-dance movie, which arrives on the streaming platform December 11. Watch the new look at the film below.

The Broadway musical comedy follows a group of washed up Broadway actors who help a lesbian go to prom as part of a PR stunt. Dee Dee Allen (Meryl Streep), a two-time Tony Award winner, pairs up with Barry Glickman (James Corden) in a musical about First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt that’s a total flop. They each receive career-killing reviews, and decide to revive their reputations by throwing their weight behind a charity cause. They’re joined by veteran Broadway chorus girl Angie Dickinson (Nicole Kidman), along with out-of-luck actor Trent Oliver...

Netflix has revealed that 48M people have checked in to Lucia State Hospital to make Sarah Paulson-fronted drama Ratched the streamer’s best new original launch of the year.

The SVOD service revealed the numbers on social media saying that the Ryan Murphy-exec produced drama hit the 48M mark over its first 28 days to make it the “biggest original season one of the year”.

It is the latest example of Netflix sharing viewing data in success. Last year, it revealed figures for series including You, Sex Education, The Umbrella Academy, Elite and Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened.

It said that Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s Ucp-produced comic book adaptation of Umbrella Academy was watched by 45 million households in its first month, while serial killer thriller You and British comedy drama Sex Education both hit 40M. Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, about the controversial music festival,...

“Ratched” is Netflix’s top new series this year, the streaming service claimed on Friday.

The prequel to “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Next” from Ryan Muphy, which features Sarah Paulson as a younger Mildred Ratched, was viewed by 48 million households within its first 28 days, the streaming service said on Friday. That would make it its top new series of 2020.

Nielsen seems to agree. In the ratings measurement service’s own weekly Top 10 list of streaming programs, “Ratched” claimed the top spot on this week’s list, which covers Sept. 14 – Sept. 20. Nielsen ranks programs by total minutes viewed. Despite premiering on Sept. 18, “Ratched” had already racked up 972 million viewed.

The biggest launch in Netflix’s history, according to the streaming service’s internal metrics, was “The Witcher,” which barely missed the 2020 cutoff, debuting Dec. 20, 2019. The Henry Cavill-led fantasy series was seen by 76 million households in its first month,...

Ever since premiering on September 18, 2020, Netflix's new dramatic series Ratched has remained among the streamer's most trending titles. Created by Ryan Murphy and Evan Romansky, the show serves as a prequel to the classic film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, in which the title character of Nurse Mildred Ratched is given a dramatic backstory during the 1940s to explain why she became so wicked three decades later as a cruel institutional orderly.

Photo: 'Ratched'/Netflix Ratched Review: Imagine yourself constrained in a brightly lit bluish room, clean sheets and towels folded to perfection, everything neatly in its place and everything still except for the baritone beating of your own heart. You are, for now, alone with your jet-line of thoughts, clustering the mostly empty space. Not a web or speck of dust to fight for your attention; just you, the sound of your heart beating, and your breath. Your ears perk at the chime of sharp heels hitting linoleum. Your heart beats faster because you have no way of anticipating what malevolent method is coming to you, all you know is that it’s coming.

[Editor’s Note: The following post contains spoilers for “Ratched” Season 1.]

Ryan Murphy’s “Ratched” tells the origin story of Nurse Ratched, a character made famous by Louise Fletcher’s Oscar-winning portrayal in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” but the debut season does not end where “Cuckoo’s Nest” begins. Far from it. Sarah Paulson, the star of Murphy’s Netflix series, tells The Wrap “the goal” for the show is to continue beyond Season 2 so it can end up in the 1970s era where “Cuckoo’s Nest” is set. Netflix ordered two seasons of “Ratched” when it greenlit the project, but not even Season 2 is designed to meet “Cuckoo’s Nest.”

Should “Ratched” get the opportunity to continue beyond Season 2, it’s unclear how Murphy and creator Evan Romansky would tackle the events of “Cuckoo’s Nest.” The AMC “Psycho” prequel series “Bates Motel” used its final episodes to reimagine the events of the Hitchcock movie, casting Rihanna in the...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the first season of “Ratched,” streaming now on Netflix.

For decades the character of Nurse Mildred Ratched from “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” has been considered one of the most iconic fictional villains of all time. First created by Ken Kesey in his 1962 novel, she was then brought to life on the big screen by Louise Fletcher in 1975. Now Sarah Paulson has taken on the role, tasked with delivering an origin story for the character that reveals deep trauma in her childhood and a perhaps unexpected drive to take care of her foster brother Edmund (Finn Wittrock) in Ryan Murphy and Evan Romansky’s drama series “Ratched” for Netflix.

“This story takes place 20 years prior to when we meet Mildred in ‘Cuckoo’s Nest, so [Mildred could] be a very different person with some similarities and some things you recognize, but...

The latest Netflix series that’s currently trending is Ratched, a prequel of sorts to One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, focusing solely on its dreaded antagonist, the titular Nurse Mildred Ratched. Developed by TV titan Ryan Murphy and written by Evan Romansky, the psychological thriller series stars Sarah Paulson as the nurse and depicts her dark rise to success in a psychiatric hospital in the 1940s.

While the show appealed to several fans of Murphy and Paulson with its extravagant production design, score, and performances, Ratched drew polarizing critical acclaim. Here are a few other shows similar to Ratched in their tone or setting.

Prior to Friday’s premiere there were warning signs that “Ratched” might be more of a Ryan Murphy camp-fest than a sincere prequel to “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” An eye-popping color palette, with certain scenes completely bathed in red or green, stood in stark contrast to the white and gray backdrop of Milos Forman’s 1975 movie.

Explicit, darkly comic threats over the theft of a breakroom peach took the place of Nurse Ratched’s passive-aggressive manipulation of patients. And the villainous character’s symbolic place in popular culture as a representative of corruption and dehumanization within industrialized medicine, especially for anyone reliant on in-patient care, didn’t appear as important to the new series as ghoulish frights.

Also, Sharon Stone’s co-star was a monkey. Again.

Seeing as the Oscar-nominated actress has turned curious guest arcs on random shows into high art a time or two before, she...

In 1976, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest became only the second movie ever to sweep the top five Academy Awards: Best Picture; Best Director for Miloš Forman; Best Screenplay (adapted) for Bo Goldman and Lawrence Hauben’s take on Ken Kesey’s novel; and both Best Actor nods, for Jack Nicholson’s rebellious mental patient Randall Patrick McMurphy and Louise Fletcher’s cold and merciless mental ward supervisor Nurse Ratched. Cuckoo’s Nest dominated the Oscars on a night when the competition included many movies destined to become all-time classics, including Nashville,...

This Ratched review contains no spoilers.

In dramatic lighting and with lush period costumes, Ryan Murphy’s Ratched tells a sordid backstory of Mildred Ratched, the militant, unfeeling nurse made famous in the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Ryan Murphy’s take on Nurse Ratched was always going to be bombastic and campy, and with a shorter episode count and tighter runtimes, unraveling her aim and getting inside her head could have been a thrilling game. But instead of deliciously wild, it reads like a failed high-budget parody of a Ryan Murphy show. Almost every editorial choice, from the radio play-esque musical cues to the use of splitscreen is ham-fistedly overblown, as if yelling at the audience “Here! Look here! This is important!”

Sarah Paulson owns this star vehicle, and Ratched, which was written almost entirely by Evan Romansky, owes much of what works to her performance. Starting...

At this point, there are several things you’re almost sure to encounter when diving into one of Ryan Murphy’s gilded television worlds. No matter where or when it’s set, the show will have impeccable, eye-popping costume and production design. No matter how it unfolds, it will do its damndest to shock and awe, probably by putting characters through an incredible amount of psychological and/or physical distress. No matter what it’s about, it will feature several deliciously dramatic turns from actors ready to chew up and spit out every ounce of scenery they get. His new Netflix drama “Ratched” ticks off every one of these boxes and then some with the kind of gory flair that Murphy’s leaned into for projects from “Nip/Tuck” to “American Horror Story.” It even stars his muse, Sarah Paulson, in a role that requires her to be flinty, cruel, compassionate and lovelorn all at once.

Does evil always have an origin story? In the world of Evan Romansky’s Ratched, the answer is yes. Giving the dreaded antagonist of Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest a fan fiction-like makeover, Ratched follows the namesake nurse on her move to the North Californian town of Lucia a few years after World War…...

Really, was anyone out there crying out for a Nurse Ratched origin story? The trailers for Netflix’s Ratched — premiering this Friday, Sept. 18; I’ve seen the first four episodes — bill the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest villain as “one of the world’s most iconic characters,” but as played by Oscar winner Louise Fletcher in the original 1975 film, the psych-ward nurse is a rather banal authority figure without much depth or dimension to explore.

Still, Ratched — the latest offering from uber producer Ryan Murphy — insists on conjuring up an origin story for her anyway: a campy, gruesome,...

Sarah Paulson’s nurse Mildred Ratched is here to show you some mercy — in her own special way, that is — in a new trailer for “Ratched,” Ryan Murphy’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” prequel series at Netflix.

In the video, which you can view here and in the video above, we’re introduced to a Nurse Ratched we’ve never seen before, a version of the iconic character before she became that iconic character. She is a kind but peculiar nurse who wants to show mercy, but seems to have a hard time sorting out what is right and wrong to do as a medical professional amongst both her colleagues and her patients — though she firmly believes “there are rights and there are wrongs.”

Mildred’s bedside manner leaves something to be desired, but it appears there could be some deep-seated reason for that particular flaw.

This will only hurt a little — or a lot if you’re under Nurse Ratched’s care.
