Fantastic series that were canceled before they had a worthy ending

The constant fear that Netflix will once again announce the cancellation of one of its shows like “The Sandman”, which has already happened with “Cowboy Bebop” or “Jupiter’s Legacy”, and a long list of examples. What reminded us of those series of the fantastic genre that were canceled long before the end of the story began to appear.

Sense 8

And it comes’Sense 8′, a science fiction series canceled by Netflix, as it was one of the most expensive productions of its time. It was originally scheduled to run for five seasons, and that ended long ago at the end of its second installment.

Dark crystals

Probably one of the most painful cancellations for fantasy fans was’Dark crystals’, an Emmy-winning fantasy series, which was based on the original story of the same name. Netflix once again canceled the children’s series, but at least fans are left with an open ending that has given life to the imagination of many to fill in the holes.

The OA

It is common to hear that, after the debut of a first season, Netflix decides to cancel a product. But before, when it wasn’t that common, it surprised everyone science fiction series’The OA’ was deleted. Created by Zal Batmanglij and starring Brit Marling, the story of Prairie Johnson ended with one of the most unexpected connections, which unfortunately will never be resolved.

Terrible penny

From the same mind that brought ‘Sweeney Todd’ with Johnny Depp, John Logan has again called Eva Green, along with Timothy Dalton, for ‘Penny Dreadful’, a series with a gothic setting that has revived some of the most important characters of the horror literature, such as Dorian Gray or Frankenstein. However, and in one of the highest moments in history, the program was canceled in its third season. Although his ending gave a hasty conclusion.

Now HBO is recognized as one of the leading television production companies in the industry, with titles such as “Game of Thrones”, “The Wire” or “The Sopranos”. But long before that, Daniel Knauf’s series was one of the studio’s best titles. ‘Carnivale’ was canceled after two seasons and, unlike the previous ones, this one didn’t have any closure or anything like that.

Firefly

The name of Joss Whedon, director of “Justice League” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, is already used to cancellations, such as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” or “Dollhouse”. But it was ‘Firefly’, a western with space opera, one of the most painful of him. Natan Fillion is the protagonist of this story which has now become a cult series, and is still broadcast on television.
