Others just kinda disappear, and we find out that they were canceled well after the fact.

Streaming services havecomplicated and shadowy motivationswhen it comes to the shows they renew or cancel.

Dead Boy Detectives (2024)

The good news?

The shows heightened drama, period detail, and willingness to be a little silly were highlights.

Theres a great graphic novel from IDW (GLOW vs.

The Star Primas) that captures the tone of the show quite well.

Otherwise, its hard to find much of a silver lining in that unexpected cliffhanger ending.

They’re generally deadly to the touch, but they can’t be seen by adults.

She stars here as Eileen Sun, the exiled matriarch of a family of Taiwanese gangsters.

What follows involves a demonic cult, Lovecraftian horrors, and a jazz-age demon cult.

It builds an impressive horror mythology that it only barely had a chance to develop.

Very spooky and moving without ever being schmaltzy or precious.

So the ending is still pretty satisfying.

There’s not much good news here, given that the show ended on a cliffhanger.

Naturally, they all start making music together.

As a lead, Lillis sells the hell out of this offbeat coming-of-age story.

Much likeGLOW, the show was renewed for a second season before being canceled and ending on a cliffhanger.

Unfortunately,it apparently cost a fortune, and Netflix pulled the plug before it really got going.

There areprose novelsand manga, as well as games and novelty items galore.

Even if we never get another movie or series, theres life in these puppets yet.

She enjoys her new less-inhibited life, and mostly only eats bad people, so it’s fine.

Still a fun show, but not much by way of silver lining in its conclusion.

The show’s story is continuing in a series of graphic novels.

The first, fromOlivia Cuartero-Briggs and Christianne Gillenardo-Goudreau, came out in August 2024.

Unfortunately, despite a dedicated fan campaign, Netflix canceled it after three seasons.

Six new episodes were produced, but then COVID-19 shut down production.

Showrunner Gloria Calderon Kelletttweeted the synopsesfor the episodes that were written but never shot.

Naturally, Netflix said goodbye after two seasons.

But MST3K has been dead before, and always manages to launch itself back into orbit eventually.

Last year, the gangran a very successful crowdfunding campaignto produce new 13-episode seasons with the Netflix-era cast.

It was another show that was renewed before being canceled permanently due to COVID-19 production delays.

At least there areplentyofBaby-Sitters Clubbooks around.

Never count a good witch out.
