Netflix recently came under fire online after it decided not to renew Grand Army for a second season. The teen drama revolves around five students at a public school in Brooklyn who showcase several nuanced struggles of their lives. The show focuses on racial discrimination, economic differences, sexual assaults, and sexual identities.
This is despite the fact that Grand Army debuted on Netflix on October 16th, 2020, and received a decent score of 71% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Furthermore, it also scored 7.6 ratings on IMDB. The series was created by Katie Cappiello and is based on her 2006 play, Slut.
The series starred Odessa Adlon as Joey Del Marco, Amir Bageria as Siddhartha Pakam, Odley Jean as Dominique Pierre, Maliq Johnson as Jayson Jackson, Amalia Yoo as Leila Kwan Zimmer, and others.

Despite Grand Army’s on-par ratings, the streaming giant Netflix scrapped the show in June after only one season
According to a confirmed report by Variety, Netflix will not be continuing the Grand Army saga with a second season.
Grand Army is the second show to have been axed by Netflix recently. Netflix had also canceled its new superhero show, Jupiter’s Legacy (starring Josh Duhamel and Leslie Bibb), after only one season.
While Netflix did not confirm the reasons for Grand Army’s cancelation, it was speculated that the series did not have good enough viewership to warrant a Season 2. Furthermore, some critics of the show hit the series lacking originality in some aspects and forced hurdles with the characters.
However, the lack of viewership seems to be the primary reason behind Grand Army’s nixing. Meanwhile, the cancelation of Jupiter’s Legacy is the massive cost of production and the bad reviews by critics.

Some fans asked HBO to save the show by getting the rights from Netflix. However, this request seems unlikely to be fulfilled, considering HBO’s already massively popular and Emmy nominated teen drama Euphoria has been renewed for a Season 2.
