'1899' canceled after one season on Netflix

The show's action is set 13 years before the Titanic's doomed journey, with 1899 starting by asking, "What if there was a ship, and then there wasn't a ship?".

A collection of eclectic characters are introduced as they sail from London to New York on a migrant steamship. After investigating a signal from another ship that's been missing for a couple of months, the ship's crew and passengers are drawn into an adventure that's going to make you question the very nature of reality itself. And apparently, Netflix wasn't on board with the idea, despite the showrunners publicly stating interest in sequels beyond the series' first eight episodes.

As sad as it may seem, 1899 won't have a hard time looking for a buyer if the showrunners stop shopping the follow-up seasons around.

Speaking of Netflix, the streaming giant's decision to cut down on password sharing hasn't gone so well. The alternative, which is introducing an ad-supported plan, has gone worse as only a very small fraction of users ended up taking advantage of the economical service.
