US Streaming vs. Linear TV Show Cancellation Rates, 2020-2023*
Methodology
Data is from the September 2023 Variety Intelligence Platform (VIP+) and Luminate report titled "The Show Must Go Off" as cited in Variety. This study was conducted by analyzing the TV content released by the eight largest U.S.-based subscription video services (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, Max, Apple TV+, Paramount+ and Peacock) and major broadcast and cable networks during January 2020 and August 2023. Luminate provided data on the networks' content output, including premiere dates, season counts, genres and renewal status, which was analyzed by the Variety Intelligence Platform. Overall cancellation rates were determined by dividing the number of canceled continuing series that had their final season premiere between January 2020 and August 2023 by the total number of unique continuing series that had a season premiere within that timeframe.
