Kota Factory, Netflix
Kota Factory, a groundbreaking Netflix series, takes viewers on a raw and realistic journey of students who relocate to Kota, Rajasthan, the country's renowned coaching hub, to crack the highly competitive IIT entrance exam.

This is one of the most nostalgic and heartwarming coming-of-age stories set in the late 1990s.

Netflix axes ‘Pulse' and ‘The Residence' after just one season: Here's why
Netflix has officially canceled two of its 2025 scripted freshman series Pulse and The Residence after just one season, reported Deadline. Both series had been lingering in the renewal limbo for months before the axe finally fell. Netflix has axed The Residence after one season(X) While the streaming giant has renewed other new titles in recent months including Man on the Inside, Running Point, Ransom Canyon, and Bet, The Residence and Pulse failed to make the cut, the report added. A quiet exit for medical drama Pulse Pulse, created by Zoe Robyn, was Netflix's foray into medical procedural territory. The show starring Willa Fitzgerald and Colin Woodell struggled to make a mark in the already crowded market. Launched in April, Pulse was the fifth medical drama released in six months across networks and platforms. Pulse's arrival clashed directly with Max's popular show The Pitt which likely ate into its audience. In spite of spending four weeks in Netflix's global Top 10 and peaking at rank three with 8.5 million views, the show was canceled over a month ago. The cast and crew of the show, according to another Parade report, have already moved on to new projects. 'The Residence' axed despite star power and high budget Unlike Pulse, cancelation of The Residence was more recent and surprising, the reports stated. The Paul William Davies' creation was a murder mystery featuring an all-star cast of Uzo Aduba, Giancarlo Esposito, Jason Lee and Randall Park. The Shonda Rhimes' production premiered shortly after the breakout success of Adolescence which dominated the charts and overshadowed the series. The Residence, which ranked number 2 in Top 10 charts and recorded 8.8 million views, its massive production budget made a second season financially unviable. Moreover, attempts to lower the budget were unsuccessful. 'No Good Deed' left in lurch The dark comedy anthology No Good Deed is still suspended in the uncertain territory. Created by Liz Feldman, who also made Dead to Me, the show peaked with 6 million views but hasn't yet been renewed. The Deadline report claimed the door was still open for a new concept under the same anthology banner, but for now, its future is shrouded in ambiguity. ALSO READ: NASA+ is coming to Netflix: Watch rocket launches and spacewalks live this summer FAQ Q: Which Netflix shows were canceled recently? Netflix has canceled Pulse and The Residence after just one season. Q: Why was Pulse canceled? Pulse was the last of several medical dramas to launch in a short span and was overshadowed by more successful rivals. Q: What happened to The Residence? Despite a strong cast and initial interest, The Residence was canceled due to high production costs and bad timing against breakout hit Adolescence. Q: Will No Good Deed return? Possibly. Netflix hasn't renewed it yet, but creator Liz Feldman may pitch a new concept for a second installment.
