Why Did It End? This series produced decent, though not spectacular, ratings for FOX during its first three years, but the network decided to cancel it after its third season. However, the fans came out in force with a raucous, global campaign that brought plenty of attention to the show and Netflix decided to take a flyer on it. It proved to be a big hit for the streamer and continued for three more seasons, showing that FOX made the wrong choice by focusing on the same-day ratings. Its sixth season was announced in advance as its last, giving it the chance to wrap up its storylines. But don’t be surprised if Netflix considers a spin-off series or perhaps a few additional movies as this appears to be a franchise that could keep itself going for a few more years.
