Well this absolutely sucks!
One of my favorite new Netflix series is ending after one season. Deadline has confirmed that Netflix has opted not to move forward with a second season of Archive 81. The news comes two months after the Jan. 14 debut of the horror drama starring Mamoudou Athie and Dina Shihabi.
This is a surprising move by the streamer as Archive 81 did break into Nielsen and Netflix’s weekly Top 10 ratings for originals, and it also briefly shot to No. 1 on Netflix in the U.S. before being dethroned by the return of Ozark.
Archive 81, based on the supernatural horror podcast and produced by James Wan’s Atomic Monster, was written and executive produced by Rebecca Sonnenshine, who made her debut as a showrunner on the series.
