Update:Pretty Smart will officially not be returning for season two with the show now cancelled, aNetflixspokesperson has confirmed to T3.

Original Story:Netflix has reportedly cancelled the US sitcom Pretty Smart starring Emily Osment as Chelsea, after only one season on the streaming platform.

Pretty Smart followed book-smart Chelsea as she learns about happiness from her bubbly sister and three roommates. The 10-episode series debuted in October 2021 on Netflix and currently stands at a 40% approval onRotten Tomatoes.

T3 has reached out to Netflix for comment.

Netflix has been on acancellation spreesince the beginning of 2022, with the Michael B. Jordan superhero showRaising Dionbeing scrapped after two seasons only yesterday. Then only last week did Netflix cancel the sequel to the movieBright starring Will Smith, following the actor’s incident at the Oscars.

So why are so many shows being cancelled at the minute? Netflix is believed to have an internal algorithm that weights up production costs to make the TV series and what return it will get, which is usually attributed as a reason. Another potentiality might be put down toStrangers Thingsand how the upcoming season reportedly costs $30 million an episode. With so many shows failing to be renewed for anything past season two, this has seen theNetflix cursefester further, something that looks to not be slowing down anytime soon.

Pretty Smart stars Emily Osment, Gregg Sulkin, Olivia Macklin, Cinthya Carmona and Michael Hsu Rosen. Ming-Na Wen also made an appearance in the series.

Meanwhile, a new government ruling could mean a big change forNetflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney Plusand other streaming services if the new ruling passes.
