The decision has sparked mixed responses from fans.
Starring Katee Sackhoff as astronaut Niko Breckinridge, Another Life is an American science fiction drama about a group of scientists and astronauts who are drafted in to analyse an unidentified flying object that lands on earth.
The actress took to Twitter on Monday (21 February) to announce the news.
She said: “I’d like to thank every single person who watched & supported Another Life on Netflix.
“To our crew & cast thank you for always working so hard & being prepared. I wish we could do more seasons but sadly it’s just not in the cards. See you on the next adventure. Love Niko.”
Fans of the show also took to Twitter to share their thoughts about Netflix’s decision.
One user wrote: “Awww that’s a shame. I appreciated this show for what it was and enjoyed watching both seasons. Thanks to you, the cast, and the crew 🪐🔭”
Another said: “Great loss for us SF fans! I was really curious how it would all unfold and now I'm just sad. Katee, your performance was astonishing, so motherly, yet badass! And also, WILLIAM! One of the best AIs in SF culture. I could go on, lovely characters, all of you. I watched it 3 times!”
A third wrote: “I actually think the season two finale works as I final ever episode. Yes, there was potential for a season three, but nothing was truly unfinished. I like the way it ended, and although I was curious about where they were going with it, I'm not mad about this.”
Netflix has recently come under criticism for cancelling its TV shows. It has previously cut GLOW’s fourth season despite filming having begun, as well as Teenage Bounty Hunters and Away.
Global Head of TV for the company, Bela Bajaria, responded to complaints in an article for Deadline.
She said: “If you look at seasons twos and more, we actually have a renewal rate of 67%, which is industry standard.
“We also do make a large amount of first season shows, which sometimes feels that we have more first season cancellations, but if you look at the renewal rate, it’s really strong.”
She added: “I also think you have to look at The Crown with season four launching now, Grave & Frankie and The Ranch, we’ve had long-running shows, and we’re always going to have a mix that are great to be told in a limited series form and shows that go on for multiple seasons.”
The two seasons of Another Life are now available to watch on Netflix.
