Netflix axes TWO of the biggest shows of 2025 in devastating blow to 'disgusted' fans - as they rage 'it makes no sense!'
Netflix has axed two of the biggest shows of 2025 in a devastating blow to 'disgusted' fans. The Residence and Pulse both hit the streaming platform earlier this year and received raving reviews from watchers. However, they are both reportedly facing the axe and neither will see a second season. The Residence is a White House-set whodunnit, starring Uzo Aduba as the quirky detective Cordelia Cupp. It was based off a book by the same name, by author and former White House correspondent Kate Andersen Brower. While medical drama Pulse stars Willa Fitzgerald, Coin Woodell, Jack Bannon and Jessie T. Usher. Based in a trauma centre in Miami, it follows a third-year medical student called Danny who is promoted after Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips is suspended. The pair then have to navigate working together, as well as their complicated romance. Fans have been devastated by the news and some posted on X: 'This is why I try not to get to invested in tv shows now. How can Netflix cancel The Residence? It was a brilliant show.'; 'How disappointing. The Residence is a great series. Netflix makes some very odd choices.'; 'The Residence was a great show. I'm seriously not happy about this cancellation.'; 'The reason Netflix disgusts me to be honest. Get into a show and all of a sudden it's cancelled. 'They know The Residence major reason for having low views was because of the huge success and overshadowing from Adolescence yet they cancelled it. It makes no sense. Avoid 1 season shows on Netflix.'; 'One thing @netflix is going to do is cancel the good shows. I loved Pulse!'; 'Damn I liked Pulse.' When Pulse was first released, fans took to social media to share their verdicts and many were thrilled with the series. Fans have been devastated by the news and some posted on X One posted on X: 'Pulse is so good! Finally Netflix is giving me what I want!' Another penned: 'Just finished Pulse on Netflix. Soundtrack 10/10 Drama 8/10.' While someone else wrote: 'The show Pulse on Netflix is amazing sheesh.' A fourth urged for another season and said: 'Netflix when are we getting season 2 of the pulse?' Someone else also wanted future instalments and added: 'Oh Netflix I need seasons two and three to be ordered for #pulse STAT! and I need more of Nia and Cole.' While another chimed in: 'PULSE on Netflix is so good!'

Netflix's latest cancellations include TWO shocking fan favorites
In a swift and surprising move, Netflix has cancelled two of its newest series, Pulse and The Residence, after just one season each. The streaming giant, known for its growing slate of original content and equally swift cancellations, confirmed the news this week, leaving fans of both shows reeling. Freshman medical drama Pulse, starring Willa Fitzgerald and Colin Woodell, was pulled after a single ten‑episode run. In a swift and surprising move, Netflix has canceled two of its newest series, Pulse and The Residence, after just one season each. Pic: Netflix Launched on April 3, 2025, the series followed third-year ER resident Dr. Danielle 'Danny' Simms (Fitzgerald) at Miami's Maguire Trauma Center. The show debuted with 6.5 million views on the Netflix Top 10, followed by 8.5 million, 3.2 million and 2 million views in the weeks that followed. Despite an initially promising debut, it garnered mixed reviews, 48% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, and viewership plateaued amid stiff competition from other medical dramas, notably Max's The Pitt. The streaming giant, known for its growing slate of original content and equally swift cancellations, confirmed the news this week, leaving fans of both shows reeling. Pic: Jessica Brooks/Netflix Besides Fitzgerald and Woodell, the cast included Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, Jessy Yates, Chelsea Muirhead, Daniela Nieves, Néstor Carbonell, Jessica Rothe, Santiago Segura, Ash Santos and Arturo Del Puerto. Pulse wasn't the only casualty, Netflix also confirmed the cancellation of The Residence, the much-anticipated White House-set mystery drama from Shondaland. Created by Paul William Davies (Scandal, For the People) and executive produced by Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, the series premiered in March 2025 and promised a tantalizing blend of political drama. Inspired loosely by Kate Andersen Brower's nonfiction book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House , the fictionalized adaptation centered on Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba), an eccentric, truth-obsessed detective called in to investigate a murder during a high-profile state dinner. Featuring an ensemble cast that included Andre Braugher, Jason Lee, and Randall Park, the show had all the makings of a prestige hit, but reviews were lukewarm. The Residence debuted at number two in the Netflix English TV Top 10 list back in March, opening with 6.4 million views and ultimately spending four weeks on the chart. What do we think? Is anything safe from Netflix's chopping block?
