Netflix’s Soundtrack has been cancelled after one season.
The news of its cancellation [via The Hollywood Reporter] comes a little more than a month after the series premiered.
Soundtrack is a romantic musical drama that looks at the love stories connecting a diverse, disparate group of people in contemporary Los Angeles through the music that lives inside their hearts and minds.
From Gossip Girl writer Joshua Safran, the series stars Jenna Dewan, Callie Hernandez, Paul James, Robbie Fairchild, Jahmil French, Campbell Scott, Madeleine Stowe, Christina Milian, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Megan Ferguson and Isaiah Givens.
Following the news of the cancellation, Safran to social media to thank fans for the support they had given the series – which he said he felt “like it never came out.”
“What if you made a show and no one noticed? That’s how it’s felt with Soundtrack,” he began his post. “The most incredible team of artists worked tirelessly on it – some of them (like me) for over two and a half years – and felt we’d made something unique, fresh, weird and well, great. And yet, it all but disappeared.”
“[Soundtrack] has found fans. Yes, their response is usually ‘how come no one knows about this show?’ which stings a bit (OK, a lot). But also, it’s still out there. It’s on Netflix forever. I encourage any of you to find it if it sounds remotely in your wheelhouse. Maybe start at episode 4, one of the best, to sample if you’ll like it, and then go back if it’s for you.”
He went on to thank his “incredibly support partners at Annapurna, 20th and my content team at Netflix”, as well as the cast and crew, who “truly believed in this project from start to finish.
