Netflix cancels ‘Sex/Life’ after ‘very gimmicky’ Season 2 premiere

Netflix has officially canceled the romantic drama series "Sex/Life" after its Season 2 premiere, which aired on March 2. The news of the cancellation came recently after an insider from Netflix confirmed that the second season provided closure to the central characters. The streaming giant is thankful for the efforts taken by the show's cast and crew.

The series, starring Sarah Shahi, gained popularity with its steamy and viral shower scene in Season 1, which sparked a question of romance between Shahi and her co-star Adam Demos. However, the 43-year-old female actor addressed their on-screen relationship as "easy."

In a podcast before the show's cancellation, Shahi expressed her disappointment with the "very gimmicky" second season, stating that she did not have the support that she did from the people involved in the first season of the show. Despite her disappointment, Shahi praised her co-star Demos, calling him "one of my favorite scene partners."


Demos also praised Shahi's acting skills and called her his "favorite person in the world." He stated that he felt lucky to work with such an incredible actor, who made him better.

Inspired by B.B. Easton's novel "44 Chapters About 4 Men," "Sex/Life" premiered on Netflix in 2021, with Season 1 following a love triangle between a woman, her husband, and her past. Despite the success of the first season, Netflix is known for canceling shows that do not meet their expectations. Recently, the streaming giant also canceled the popular thriller "1899" from the creator of "Dark" after Season 1.
