Fans Call It a “Shame” as Netflix Cancels Beloved Rom-Com Series Just After Season 1 Release

Published 05/23/2025, 11:16 AM EDT

Netflix has long reigned as the top choice for binge-watchers worldwide, constantly refreshing its library to stay aligned with evolving viewer preferences. While rotating content is nothing new, the year 2025 has brought a wave of bold removals—some more jarring than others. Although the platform had largely avoided serious backlash, its latest decision has stirred real drama: the abrupt cancellation of a fresh, feel-good romantic comedy that had barely begun to blossom. Just one season in, and it had already captured hearts—now it has ignited fan fury.

The Lady’s Companion premiered on Netflix on March 28, 2025, and quickly won hearts with its witty blend of period drama and romantic comedy. Created by Gema R. Neira and María José Rustarazo, and starring Nadia de Santiago, Álvaro Mel, and Isa Montalbán, the Spanish series showed serious promise. However, despite its early success, Netflix canceled the show after just one season, as reported by What's On Netflix, leaving fans frustrated and calling the decision a "shame".

What’s On Netflix revealed the cancellation was mainly due to the show’s performance falling short of expectations. Although it cracked the global weekly top 10 for four weeks and amassed 63 million hours watched—around 11.2 million views—and appeared in top 10 lists across 66 countries, the high production costs typical of period dramas likely demanded more. Naturally, fans were left disappointed, as the decision to pull the plug did not sit well with many viewers.
