- So far, there has been no official statement from Netflix even though they have confirmed the cancelation. It is speculated that Netflix’s streaming algorithm and its financial woes could have resulted in this decision.
- Thousands of fans have expressed their concern over Netflix’s ruthlessness when it comes to canceling shows. Even if they are well-received by both critics and audiences alike, Netflix doesn’t seem to spare them and Inside Job is an appropriate example.
About the show
Inside Job is an animated satire that revolves around an anti-social genius Reagan Ridley (Lizzy Caplan) and her team. The show is set in a world where conspiracy theories are real.
- Inside Job’s voice cast includes big names like Christian Slater, Clark Duke, Adam Scott, and Tisha Campbell. The first season of Inside Job premiered on Netflix in October 2021, with eighteen episodes.
- The show was billed as the first adult animated series produced in-house by Netflix. Inside Job’s animation style, social satire, and voice acting performances were lauded by critics upon its initial release.
- It’s puzzling that the show was canceled despite raking in good numbers, even from Netflix’s perspective.

- It’s disheartening to watch a lot of shows being canceled by Netflix after just one or two seasons as it usually takes longer to establish. The cancellation of Inside Job means that we will never get to go on another adventure in the world of Cognito.
Characters like Reagan and Brett will never get the ending we all would have loved to see. Do you think Netflix was right to cancel Inside Job?
