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.

Netflix hasn't renewed it yet, but creator Liz Feldman may pitch a new concept for a second installment.

Netflix cancels ‘Pulse' and ‘The Residence', ‘No Good Deed' paused indefinitely
Netflix has cancelled two of its recent series, Pulse and The Residence, while placing No Good Deed on indefinite pause following underwhelming ratings. Pulse, created by Zoe Robyn, was Netflix's take on a medical procedural, starring Willa Fitzgerald and Colin Woodell. The series struggled to find an audience, impacted by launching alongside competing medical dramas and by its challenging theme of workplace sexual harassment. The cast and creatives were informed over a month ago, with actors now pursuing new roles. The Residence, a comedic murder mystery from Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland, has also been cancelled. Starring Uzo Aduba and featuring Giancarlo Esposito, Randall Park and Susan Kelechi Watson, the series faced tough timing, premiering shortly after Netflix's Adolescence captured global attention. Despite strong viewership peaking at No. 2 in Netflix's Top 10 with 8.8 million views, high production costs, including extensive White House set builds and VFX, made a renewal unfeasible. Meanwhile, No Good Deed, created by Liz Feldman, remains on indefinite pause. Conceived as an anthology series in the vein of The White Lotus, it featured O-T Fagbenle and Teyonah Parris and spent four weeks in the Top 10, peaking at 6 million views. Although the first season concluded with a potential storyline for a second instalment, the lukewarm reception has paused renewal discussions, though the possibility of a new concept for continuation remains open. These decisions follow a series of Netflix renewals this year, including Bridgerton and The Diplomat, reflecting the platform's continued content reshaping in 2025.

The Next Grey's Anatomy? Netflix Sets Release Date for Medical Drama Pulse
It's the year of the medical procedural! Following the debuts of ABC's Doctor Odyssey, Fox's Doc, Max's The Pitt and CBS' Watson, Netflix will scrub in for rounds with Pulse on Thursday, April 3. The 10-episode drama — which hails from executive producer Zoe Robyn (Hawaii Five-0, The Equalizer), who will serve as co-showrunner alongside fellow EP Carlton Cuse (Lost, Jack Ryan) — follows the staff of Miami's busiest Level 1 Trauma Center as they navigate medical emergencies. Per the official logline, as a hurricane comes barreling toward them, 'third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (played by The Fall of the House of Usher's Willa Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion when beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (The Continental's Colin Woodell) is suspended.'

'Amid the worsening storm and an onslaught of trauma cases, the hospital goes into lockdown, and Danny and Phillips must find a way to work together — even as the bombshell details of a complicated and illicit romance between them begin to spill out,' the logline reveals. 'The rest of the ER is left to process the fallout of their relationship while balancing their own challenges, both personal and professional, as they work under the pressure of life-or-death stakes. Because for this tight-knit group of doctors, saving their patients' lives is often less complicated than living their own.' Hmm… anyone else already getting Grey's Anatomy vibes? Rounding out the series-regular ensemble are Justina Machado (One Day at a Time, ER), Jack Bannon (Pennyworth), Jessie T. Usher (The Boys), Jessy Yates (Me), Chelsea Muirhead (Warrior) and Daniela Nieves (Vampire Academy). Recurring cast members includes Néstor Carbonell (The Morning Show), Jessica Rothe (Utopia), Santiago Segura, Ash Santos (Mayor of Kingstown) and Arturo Del Puerto (For All Mankind).
