Netflix Cancels Renewal of INSIDE JOB and Fans Rush to Make Petitions Hoping for Change
Inside Job is a fun adult animated comedy series from Shion Takeuchi that is available to watch on Netflix. I’ve only seen a couple of episodes, but they were a lot of fun. I was hyped when the show got renewed by Netflix for a second season. Unfortunately, Netflix had to be one of the things that makes January 2023 really sucky for me: they canceled season two of Inside Job. Takeuchi shared the news via Twitter earlier this week and fans are crushed.
Over one Change.org, more than 12 petitions were started up the same day the news broke. Each petition hopes it can garner attention and convince Netflix to cancel their cancellation of Inside Job. Two of these petitions have gained quite a bit of steam hitting over 25,000 signatures combined. One was made by Brooke Burnett and the other by Maddie Dehart.
I can’t help but feel like this is another case of some idiotic executive thinking that all animation is just for kids and so this show must have no audience. There must have been some good numbers as Inside Job was initially renewed for season two, so I’m curious what resulted in the change. Were you a fan of Inside Job? Do you think Netflix will listen at all?
