After months of anticipation, Netflix has decided to cancel Grand Army after only one season. Given the lack of fanfare and attention the series received upon its first debut, as well as the controversy surrounding series creator Katie Cappiello, this isn’t surprising.
Katie Cappiello wrote and created Grand Army, a Netflix Original coming-of-age drama series. The show is based on Katie Cappiello’s piece Slut: The Play, which she wrote in 2013. Beau Willimon and Joshua Donen are the series’ producers. Westward was in charge of the series production.
Netflix has renewed the Grand Army season 2.
Renewal Status on Netflix: Cancelled (Last Updated: 06/07/2021)
Netflix had several months to make a decision, but after only one season, the streaming provider has opted to discontinue Grand Army.
The controversy surrounding the series’ production, which led to many writers quitting owing to alleged “racial exploitation and abuse” by series showrunner Katie Cappiello, is most likely the major cause for cancellation. Netflix may have decided to cancel the show in order to remove itself from the criticism surrounding it.
