Netflix cancels ‘The Duchess’ after just one season.
'The Duchess' is a comedy series created by and starring Katherine Ryan as herself. The series follows Katherine, a "powerful but problematic" single mother who decides she wants to have another baby with her ex, who is also the father of her nine-year-old daughter. After a highly entertaining and complicated first season, let's find out what is next for Katherine. Here is everything we know so far.
'The Duchess' is among the list of shows Netflix canceled in 2021. The six-part series arrived on Netflix in September 2020 and got officially canceled in April 2021. Before the announcement, creator Katherine Ryan remained hopeful for a new season. She had already started traversing possible plots for the show.
"There are many avenues that it can go down," Ryan said via Digital Spy. "I'm writing the second series, anticipating that, hopefully, I will get to do a second series. But I still have so much to say. And, of course, dealing with a child, they enter new phases of their life so quickly, and parents have to adapt to that."
It's worth noting that 'The Duchess' has made it to number one in the UK. It also managed to secure a spot on the top 10 list in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Sadly, it wasn't enough to secure a renewal.
The show is no longer coming back for season 2.
“[Netflix] didn’t want to make anymore; not enough people watched it. I think something like 10 million people watched it in 28 days, and that wasn’t enough,” Ryan said on Vicky Pattison’s The Secret To… podcast. “But also, I’m not terribly sad about it. I feel like it’s a whole lot of work, a whole lot of time to make a sitcom. I was so grateful to be able to make it, but I think it speaks for itself. I kind of like the way it ended.”
During Shep’s wedding, it was revealed that Katherine is pregnant with his baby. Hurt by the news and unable to accept the revelation, Evan tried to hurt Katherine back by revealing to Olive that her parents were not on good terms, mainly because of her father. This led Katherine to dump him finally. Season one ended with Katherine giving birth to her second child while revealing that Shep's new wife, Cheryl, is also pregnant. If the show got renewed for season 2, we would've expected the new episodes to focus on Katherine's more complicated life as a single mom of two kids. We also expected to see how Olive would react to the new addition to the small family. Will the arrival of the baby stir up some jealousy? Or will she embrace the role of a big sister with all her heart? What will happen to Evan? Will he still try to win Katherine back after the dramatic outburst? Sadly, we will no longer get our answers.
'The Duchess' is already canceled. Hence, we have to say goodbye to our season 1 cast. They are Katherine Ryan as Katherine herself, Katy Byrne as Olive, her young nine-year-old daughter, and Rory Keenan as Shep.
