Netflix doesn't want to keep Spinning Out

As reported by Deadline, Netflix has canceled figure skating drama Spinning Out after one season… and also after only one month, as the show only premiered on the streaming service back on January 1. That seems like a pretty sharp turnaround for Netflix, which was once known for never canceling anything ever (until it started canceling everything ever), with Deadline explaining that streamer weighs new shows like Spinning Out’s secret mysterious ratings and any “awards recognition” against how much it costs when making decisions about renewals. That must be a pretty brutal metric, though, considering that you apparently only have a month to get a lot of viewers and/or some awards (even though it’s February 3 and they don’t generally hand out major TV awards at this time of year).
