Netflix's history of canceled shows is mostly negative. They get cancelled before the fans (and often the cast and crew) are ready for them. Fortunately, one such series is getting a second chance, reminding fans of other cancelled shows that Netflix may be giving their favorites a second chance to breathe again.

The Last Kingdom, a series adapted for the small screen from Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Tales (originally aired on BBC2 before moving to Netflix for its third season), is, according to EW, "Seven Kings Must Die" was announced at the London MCM Comic-Con by the show's star and executive producer, Alexander Drymon.

Drymon said that the fans are responsible for the revival of the series, "It's been an honor to tell Wootred's story for five seasons. I am so grateful to the fans. They have been immensely loyal to The Last Kingdom, and because of their support, the team is coming together for the next round."

The series, which has yet to air its fifth and final season, appears to be as all-encompassing as its fans and creators would hope.

The producers of The Last Kingdom plan to begin work on Seven Kings Must Die around the time Season 5 airs, which is said to be in early 2022. Interestingly, producer Nigel Merchant claims that Season 5 will "bring the series to a complete conclusion."

And that differs from other Netflix shows that have had the possibility of being made into movies.

Netflix has long angered fans with the show's premature termination, leading people to believe that Netflix was insistent on ending the series after three seasons.

This option does not seem to be what the big red streaming machine prefers; Netflix does not do this very often, but "Sense8" is one notable example of this happening. Veronica Mars was made into a Kickstarter movie before being revived by Hulu, and Firefly and Deadwood are the biggest examples that come to mind.

However, "Dash & Lily" (canceled after its first season) and "GLOW," which Netflix canceled after it was renewed (i.e., after season 4 was announced), are also fresh in my mind Netflix's strategy to show proper endings to shows seems like it could be used a little more often.

Nevertheless, this will not solve all of Netflix's current problems, as its recent handling of the Dave Chappelle scandal has seriously imploded.
