Just last week, Netflix said goodbye to the fantasy series Kaos, and now the next title from which we won’t see another season has already been announced.
Even the gods don’t have it easy at Netflix: Last week, Netflix parted ways with the satirical fantasy adventure Kaos after just one season, in which Jeff Goldblum as Zeus faces an existential crisis and tries by all means to retain his power over humans. Now the next Netflix series has to go.
Unlike Kaos, Unstable has at least made it to a second season. According to a report by Deadline, however, this is the end of the road for the comedy series starring Parks and Recreation star Rob Lowe. There will be no third season of Unstable. The reason for this is the disappointing performance of the series.
No season 3: Netflix cancels the comedy series Unstable with Rob Lowe after 16 episodes
A big star, but not good streaming numbers: As Deadline writes, the second season of Unstable could not continue the success of the series opener. When it launched in August, the new episodes didn’t even make it into Netflix’s weekly top 10 most popular series. Two and a half months later, it was canceled.
Watch the Unstable trailer here:
In Unstable, Rob Lowe plays the role of Ellis Dragon, the wealthy, eccentric head of a biotechnological research company. Since the tragic death of his wife, the otherwise brilliant mind has been in an emotional downward spiral and has lost focus at work. There is no way out in sight.
This is precisely where his son Jackson (John Owen Lowe) comes into play. Despite the harsh blow of fate, he has his emotions under control and eventually becomes his father’s most important advisor. The resulting father-son dynamic formed the heart of the series for 16 episodes in two seasons.
