A little more than a month after it first debuted, Netflix has cancelled Spinning Out.
The series followed Kat Baker (Kaya Scodelario), a talented, up-and-coming elite figure skater who’s ready to turn in her skates after a disastrous fall took her off the competition track.
However, when she’s presented a second chance as a pair skater, she seizes the opportunity to continue her career and pairs up with talent pair skater and resident bad boy Justin (Evan Roderick).
She soon realizes that in order to chase her skating dreams, she’ll have to overcome fractured family relationships, a rocky partnership, and personal demons that threaten to derail everything she’s worked for.
The cast also includes January Jones, Willow Shields, Amanda Zhou, Will Kemp, Svetlana Efremova, Mitchell Edwards, Sarah Wright Olsen, David James Elliott, Johnny Weir, Kaitlyn Leeb and Jonathan Van Ness.
Spinning Out was first released on Netflix on January 1. Deadline was the first publication to report the news of the series’ cancellation.
Even though the series had been out only for a few weeks, it had already built up a massive – and very loyal – fanbase. So much so that when the news of Spinning Out’s cancellation broke, several petitions were launched calling for Netflix to reconsider.
Spinning Out has become the latest show to be cancelled by Netflix after one season.
Last week, it was announced that the musical drama Soundtrack would not be returning for a second season.
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.
And it was also recently announced that the post-apocalyptic comedy Daybreak will not be returning for another season – you can read more about that here.
