Netflixhas cancelled its Resident Evil show less than two months after first premiering it on the streaming platform.
It then dropped in the second week to third position with a further 73.3 million hours viewed, before then falling out of the top 10 altogether three weeks after release. These numbers were not considered good enough for Netflix, likely taking into account the show’s budget as well as its poorRotten Tomatoesscore of 55% from critics and a dire 27% from audiences.
T3 has reached out to Netflix for comment.
“We are beyond proud of what the entire House of the Dragon team has accomplished with season one. Our phenomenal cast and crew undertook a massive challenge and exceeded all expectations, delivering a show that has already established itself as must-see-TV,” said HBO Programming executive vice president Francesca Orsi.

“A huge thank you to George, Ryan, and Miguel for leading us on this journey. We couldn’t be more excited to continue bringing to life the epic saga of House Targaryen with season two.”
Picking up 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon follows House Targaryen during a difficult period. It sees king Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine) in the run-up to naming his successor, better known as the “Dance of the Dragons”.
With Netflix already having made well over a dozenshow cancellationsthroughout 2022 so far, it’s refreshing to see a show like House of the Dragon get a renewal so early. Saying that, Warner Bros. did cancel a$90 million Batgirl movieafter production was completed alongsideEllen DeGeneres' new showin recent weeks, so the company isn’t exactly exempt from scrapping projects either. Sigh.
House of the Dragon stars Paddy Considine, Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno and Rhys Ifans.
