2023 has kicked off with a couple of big cancelations, which signals a potentially rough year coming up, which many other players throughout Hollywood will share. Here’s a look at the 2023 cancelations!

1899

The big-budget series from the creators of DARK had big expectations and big shoes to fill.

The mystery sci-fi show was one of Netflix’s most ambitious shows in years, using state-of-the-art technology and featuring an impressive ensemble cast.

Why was 1899 canceled?

Data provided to What’s on Netflix from European SVOD analytics company Digital i suggests that the completion rate was ultimately too low and likely wasn’t growing substantially. Their data suggests only around a third of people who started the show went onto finish the title.

Inside Job

The animated series Inside Job had been initially given a season 2 renewal order back in June 2022. Still, in January 2023, the creator confirmed rumors that Netflix had reversed the decision to renew.

In a statement on Twitter, the show’s creator Shion Takeuchi said:

I’m heartbroken to confirm that Netflix has decided to cancel season 2 of Inside Job. Over the years, these characters have become real people to me, and I am devastated not to be able to watch them grow up. Reagan and Brett deserved to get their ending and finally find happiness. And I would have loved to been able to share what was in store with you all.

He added, “To everyone who watched, thank you for coming along on the ride. Even though I’m sad, it helps to know that there’s people out there who cared just as much about these characters as me.”

Allison Janney and Jurnee Smollett are the main attraction of the Netflix movie Lou as the two leading ladies. Janney plays a John Wick-esque character (complete with a beloved dog, but don’t worry, Jax makes it out alive!) while Smollett plays her neighbor, Hannah.

Lou is a hardened recluse living on the fringes of their secluded island, while Hannah is a single mother struggling to make ends meet to take care of her daughter, Vee.

A horrible storm hits the island, and someone kidnaps Hannah’s daughter in the midst of it, forcing her to turn to Lou for help. While searching for Vee, the two women are forced to confront some of the dark secrets from their past.

Even though Smollett and Janney are the stars, Lou has a great cast of actors that also includes Logan Marshall-Green and Greyston Holt (remember him as one of the hot werewolves from Bitten?).

Netflix movie Lou cast list

For those unfamiliar with Allison Janney, the powerhouse actress is a Hollywood staple. Throughout her many decades in the business, Janney has won countless accolades, including seven Primetime Emmy Awards, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. She has also secured two Tony nominations.

Janney first rose to prominence playing C.J. Cregg on The West Wing. More recently, she starred as Bonnie Plunkett for nine seasons in the CBS sitcom Mom. Janney won her Oscar for I, Tonya, and has also appeared in projects like Masters of Sex, The Help, Juno, and many others. Next, she’ll star in the comedy miniseries Mrs. American Pie, the comedy film The People We Hate at the Wedding, and the sci-fi drama True Love.

Jurnee Smollett has been acting since she was a kid, with recurring roles in shows like Full House and On Our Own. But most people probably know her as Jess Merriweather in Friday Night Lights. The last few years have really helped cement Smollet’s status as a superstar. She played Dinah Lance/Black Canary in Birds of Prey and is reportedly going to reprise her role in a spinoff standalone movie at HBO Max.

Smollett also delivered an incredible performance in the short-lived but acclaimed HBO series Lovecraft Country and she recently starred opposite Miles Teller and Chris Hemsworth in the Netflix thriller Spiderhead. Next, she’ll star in the courtroom drama film The Burial with Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones.

Completing the cast trifecta is Logan Marshall-Green, who plays the film’s primary antagonist, Philip. You might recall Marshall-Green playing Trey Atwood in The O.C. He also recently completed a stint on the ABC series Big Sky.

Here’s the complete cast list for the Netflix movie:

• Allison Janney as Lou
• Jurnee Smollett as Hannah
• Logan Marshall-Green as Philip
• Ridley Asha Bateman as Vee
• Matt Craven as Sheriff Rankin
• Greyston Holt as Chris
• Daniel Bernhardt as Tony
• RJ Fetherstonhaugh as Gerry
• Andres Collantes as Deputy Torres
• Marci T. House as Agent Lee
• Toby Levins as Agent Hampton

Netflix movie Lou starts streaming on Friday, September 23.

It’s almost time to rejoin Emily and all of her misadventures in Paris in the upcoming season of Emily in Paris on Netflix. Emily in Paris season 3 is coming soon, and we’re lucky enough to also have Emily in Paris season 4 on the way.

The series earned a two-season renewal for seasons 3 and 4 in January 2022, not long after season 2’s premiere on Netflix in December 2021. Even though the series hasn’t been well-loved by critics, the fan-favorite romantic comedy has been a big hit.

As the season 3 premiere nears and more information comes out about the next two seasons, we’re learning more about Emily in Paris season 4. Here’s everything we know so far, including filming updates, a release window, and whether season 4 could be the last.

When is Emily in Paris season 4 filming?

Back in June 2022, filming began on Emily in Paris season 3, and judging by the length of time season 2 took to film the previous year, we were anticipating the end of filming by the end of summer. However, the series remained in production.

In September 2022, Variety confirmed a suspicion that Emily in Paris season 3 and Emily in Paris season 4 were filming back-to-back. Although additional details about the production schedule for the fourth season haven’t been released, season 4 is in fact currently filming in Paris.

If we had to make an educated guess, we would assume production will wrap sometime this fall before the end of the year. As soon as Netflix or the cast announces the season has finished filming, we’ll be sure to let fans know!

Emily in Paris season 4 release updates

The first season of Emily in Paris was released in October 2020, and the follow-up season dropped the following December. We’re expecting season 3 to drop in either late 2022 or early 2023 based on that timeline, meaning Emily in Paris season 4 will release in mid to late 2023.

Since the seasons are being filmed back-to-back, season 4 should be finished with filming by the time season 3 releases on Netflix. Being so, the wait time could be much shorter, though about five months of post-production should still be expected.

Emily in Paris cast

In the third season, Lucien Laviscount was promoted to a series regular, and the rest of the main cast from the first and second seasons returned. Assuming the cast will remain the same after the third season, here’s the current main cast of Emily in Paris:

• Lily Collins as Emily Cooper
• Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie
• Ashley Park as Mindy Chen
• Lucas Bravo as Gabriel
• Samuel Arnold as Julien
• Bruno Gouery as Luc
• Camille Razat as Camille
• William Abadie as Antoine Lambert
• Lucien Laviscount as Alfie

Also, season 3 could introduce new recurring or supporting characters that will stick around in season 4. Surely, there will be another appearance by Kate Walsh at some point during the next two seasons. We’ll be sure to share casting announcements as they arrive!

Is Emily in Paris season 4 the final season?

Netflix has not indicated that Emily in Paris season 4 will be the final season. However, if any fans have been weary of the two-season renewal, which is being filmed back-to-back, it’s understandable. In some cases, that could spell “final season.”

But plenty of other Netflix original series have been given two-season renewals or filmed seasons back-to-back and continued to thrive. Virgin River and Heartstopper are two current Netflix shows that earned two-season orders and both, like Emily, are hits.
