Santa Clarita Diet Season 4: Renewal Status!

Unfortunately, one month after completing the third installment of the Santa Clarita Diet, Netflix decided not to renew the show for the fourth installment. Of course, everyone was anticipating the renewal as the third season ended with the cliffhanger. But Netflix is one of those companies that are not afraid of making big decisions even if it offends its subscribers. The same happened when Netflix announced the cancelation of Santa Clarita Diet Season 4.

It enraged the fans, and they started a petition which was signed by tens of thousands of people. The showrunner also once stated that it is quite difficult to handle the fan’s rage after the cancelation of the show. But even after a lot of backlash and demand from the followers of the horror drama, Netflix has decided to stay on its decision. As a result, the renewal status of SCD is still canceled.

Reasons Behind Its Cancelation!

Lately, Netflix’s head of original content, Cindy Holland, revealed why they decided to drop some of its original including the Santa Clarita Diet. As per her, the organization decides how much to invest in a particular show based on the audience. If they don’t get enough viewers, they think about other reasons to continue investing in something.

She added that critical acclaim is also very important. But they have to stretch the money of their investors as well. Netflix covers all the production costs of a show, including an extra 30% for its rights. So, when they consider the cost-plus of Netflix, they don’t find any reason to invest in Santa Clarita Diet Season 4.
