Netflix’s highly controversial series, Insatiable, has been canceled after just two seasons amid much speculation and debate.

Insatiable, a Netflix Original black-comedy series created by Lauren Gussis, was initially proposed to The CW but ultimately found its home on Netflix. The announcement of the series in 2018 sparked one of Netflix’s most significant controversies, with over 270,000 people signing a Change.org petition to halt its release. Despite this, Netflix went ahead with the series, which became one of its most-watched Original series of 2018.

A combination of poor critical reception and insufficient viewer numbers has led to the cancellation of Insatiable on Netflix. The series, known for its unique and controversial storyline from its first season, sparked significant debate.

The controversy primarily revolved around the series’ premise, which many interpreted as promoting fat shaming. This led to widespread discussion and drew viewers to Netflix, curious about the series, resulting in a second season. Despite the controversy, Insatiable has been a guilty pleasure for many, with fans vocal about their desire for more. However, four months after the second season’s release, the series’ fate has been sealed.


Is a Third Season Necessary?

The cancellation will undoubtedly disappoint many fans, as several storylines remain unresolved.

The second season concluded with Patty accepting her penchant for murder, viewing it as empowering rather than seeing herself as a victim. With Bob in jail and aware of Patty’s dangerous potential, she now has the freedom to cause chaos.

Patty’s quest to exonerate Bob and expose Regina as the Pageant Killer also hints at her plans to kill Regina. The setup positions Patty as the next season’s antagonist, suggesting a third season could provide a conclusive end to the series.


Fan Reactions to Insatiable Season 2

The reaction to the second season of Insatiable on social media indicates a significant viewership, with many comparing its wild plot twists to shows like Dexter and praising its fan service and thrilling insanity.

Despite the evident engagement, it wasn’t enough to secure a third season.
