While Netflix has a reputation for canceling shows before gaining a foothold, in general, streamers offer at least one season on the platform. This is not the case with Netflix’s recently canceled show, which was abandoned after not airing a single episode.
It has been reported that Netflix has canceled a long-developed animated adaptation of the cartoon series it has watched. According to Wrap, Netflix Animation’s Kids & Family division is going through a turbulent period, as a result of which “a few high-profile projects have been canceled on the fly.”
Netflix had planned to make Bone an animated show starting in 2019, but I last heard about it in 2021, when Smith discussed the series in an interview with Polygon. Although production was delayed by several months due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Smith claimed that a “dream team” of animation talent is working on the show and he’s “very excited so far.” Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be enough to convince Netflix to go ahead with the show.
It’s fair to say that Smith breaks his silence on recent news and is not particularly happy with Netflix. The cartoonist posted a 10-part comic strip on Twitter, which ends with one of Bone’s protagonists declaring “never again.” So don’t expect to soon be picking up your series from competing streamers or networks.
Bone is a popular cartoon series that started in 1991 and ran for 55 issues until 2004. Follow the adventures of a trio of cousins Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, and Smiley Bone after their exile from their hometown of Boneville, as they venture into a vast world full of new friends and dangerous enemies.
Although the series is generally well-received, it has created some controversy over its adult subject. In 2010, a parent in Minnesota tried to force Bone to get a ban on all elementary school libraries, but failed.
Bonn is not the only one who has been influenced by the behind-the-scenes drama. Netflix’s animated adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Twits was not canceled and instead upgraded from the show to a feature film. Also, Lauren Faust’s adaptation of Toil and Trouble is now more of a movie than a longer series.
Analysis: Is Netflix Saving Money by Losing Subscribers?
When it rains, it pours, and Netflix is having a huge storm right now. This week, Netflix confirmed that it lost its first quarterly subscribers in a decade, and that the decline will deepen in the coming months to reach 2 million. This has caused a wave of angry pre (and some current) subscribers to comment on where Netflix is going wrong. The big question we’re asking is whether they risk causing more problems by shutting down the binge-watching release, which is Netflix’s silent hack option.
Due to rising cost of living as streaming service cancellations increase, one of the last things Netflix needs right now is another show cancellation. But this case is a little different. Bone’s animated adaptation was potentially interesting, but it’s hard to mourn for something you’ve never actually had. Perhaps the series was a victory, but we never know now.
Perhaps it makes more sense by showing that Netflix has been approved to cut costs and is more focused on hits that can reach the largest audience.
It hurts even more than this when Netflix canceled great shows like Archive 81 earlier this year. It’s also worth noting that projects are routinely scrapped behind the scenes without the public noticing. There’s more interest in this particular case because Bone adapted the popular comic book series, but it’s not uncommon for the show to be canceled before it sees the light of day.
Do you want documentary action? The Man In The Arena: Tom Brady finale is coming soon online, but it’s not on Netflix. Oh, and what about HBO Max? Any demand for Season 2 of Our Flag Means Death will make you want to see season 1.

Netflix just canceled another show — this time before the first episode
Netflix has developed a reputation for canceling shows before they’ve had a chance to find their footing, but usually, the streamer at least gives them one season on the platform. That’s not the case with the latest Netflix canceled show which has been axed without even airing a single episode.
Netflix has reportedly scrapped its long-in-development animated adaptation of comic book series Bone. According to The Wrap, Netflix Animation’s Kids & Family division is undergoing a tumultuous period which has meant “several high-profile projects have been unceremoniously canceled.”
Netflix had been planning to turn Bone into an animated show since 2019, but the last we heard about it was in 2021 when Smith discussed the series in an interview with Polygon. Smith claimed that the Covid-19 pandemic had delayed production several months but that a “dream team” of animation talent was working on the show and he was “pretty excited about it so far.” Unfortunately, it appears that wasn’t enough to convince Netflix to continue ahead with the show.
Smith has recently broken his silence on the news, and it’s fair to say he’s not particularly pleased with Netflix. The cartoonist posted a 10-panel comic strip to Twitter which ends with one of the main characters of Bone declaring “never again”, so don’t expect the series to be picked up by a rival streamer or network any time soon.
Bone is a popular comic book series that launched in 1991 and ran until 2004 spanning 55 issues. It follows the adventures of a trio of cousins Fone Bone, Phoney Bone and Smiley Bone after they are exiled from their home of Boneville and must venture into a wider world filled with new friends and dangerous enemies.
While generally well regarded the series has sparked some controversy for its adult themes. In 2010 a Minnesota parent unsuccessfully tried to have Bone banned from all elementary school libraries.
It’s not just Bone that’s been impacted by the behind-the-scene drama at either. Netflix’s animated adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Twits hasn’t been canceled but has been retooled from a show into a feature film. An adaptation of Lauren Faust’s Toil and Trouble will also now be a movie rather than a longer series.
Analysis: Netflix cutting costs as it loses subscribers?
When it rains it pours, and right now Netflix is weathering quite a storm. This week Netflix confirmed that it had lost subscribers quarter-over-quarter for the first time in a decade, and that drop is expected to get even worse over the next few months to the tune of 2 million. This has led to a wave of disgruntled former (and some current) subscribers giving their take on where Netflix is going wrong. One big question we’re asking is if they’re risk more ire by ending binge-watching releases, an unspoken Netflix nuclear option.
With streaming service cancelations on the rise, thanks in large part to the rising cost of living, it would seem that one of the last things Netflix needs right now is another show cancelation. But this case is a little different. While an animated adaptation of Bone was potentially exciting, it’s tricky to mourn something you never really had. Perhaps the series would have been a triumph, but now we’ll never know.
Perhaps Netflix is being more judicious about which shows it greenlights in an effort to cut costs, focusing more on content that’s likely to be a hit and reach the widest possible audience.
Netflix canceling brilliant shows like Archive 81 earlier this year stings far more than this one. Plus, it should be noted, that projects are routinely scrapped behind the scenes without the public even being aware. In this specific case, there is more interest because Bone was an adaptation of a popular comic book series, but it’s not out of the norm for shows to be axed before ever seeing the light of day.
Want some documentary action? You can soon watch the Man In The Arena: Tom Brady finale online — but it isn’t on Netflix. Oh, and if you have HBO Max? All the demand for Our Flag Means Death season 2 should have you curious about watching the first season.
