The October Faction has been cancelled

Taking to Twitter to discuss the disappointing news, one person wrote: "I'm so disappointed for you all and for us who enjoyed it. Maybe try Prime instead. Worth a pitch to them." Another added: "Aww, man. Enjoyed both shows! Netflix wielding that cancellation axe with abandon these days." A third person wrote: "I enjoyed October Faction. Really fed up of Netflix cancelling shows. Shadowhunters, Anne With an E, and [I'm] still annoyed about Sense8." The two series are one of many that Netflix has recently cancelled after just one season, including AJ and the Queen, Daybreak and Messiah

He added that he hadn't been informed that Netflix had made the decision until he had seen an article about it. Replying to a fan who asked him about the cancellation, he wrote: "We're all finding out via the news story," adding that it was a surprise as they "were number #1 in so many global markets".
