Two new Netflix shows, medical drama Pulse and murder mystery comedy The Residence, have been canceled after just one season.
The Residence arrived on the streamer on March 20. Orange is the New Black’s Uzo Aduba plays a detective investigating a murder at the White House during a state dinner for the Australian prime minister. The show has an 85% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, the same as Netflix hit Squid Game (and a higher audience score: 78% compared to Squid Game’s 66%).
However, per Deadline, it’s thought to be the most expensive recreation of the White House, so its high budget made renewal unlikely. There was also the issue of viewership and cultural impact: The Residence was released just a week after surprise hit Adolescence, which went on to dominate the charts and conversation to become Netflix’s second biggest English-language show of all time, so it was a case of unfortunate timing.
