Why Was It Cancelled? The first season of this YA vampire drama spent three weeks in the Netflix Top 10 for English language shows rising as high as Number 3 with 49 million hours viewed for the week. And it also logged two weeks on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 with a high of 467 million minutes viewed for a week. But apparently Netflix as network execs believed it did not have “staying power” and “did not meet thresholds for viewing and completion of episodes”. According to the showrunner, First Kill was not promoted very well by Netflix and that may have hurt it chances of finding an audience. More on that at this link.
