‘Good Girls’ Season 5: Why Didn’t Netflix Revive The NBC Series?

Good Girls seasons 1-4 are now on Netflix in utmost regions (with the US to follow coming time) but the show, as you ’re no doubt apprehensive, isn’t returning for a season 5 on NBC. But why was it canceled? Can Netflix revive it? Should Netflix revive Good Girls? Let’s take a look. 

 For those ignorant, Good Girls is the NBC crime- comedy series led by triad 

Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman. It began its run in February 2018 and from season 1, Netflix internationally has carried the show with Netflix US getting new seasons a time after raising. Season 4, for those who are still staying in the US, is anticipated to drop in March 2022.

The show is distributed by Netflix internationally as a Netflix Original. It’s not the first NBC show to get this treatment, The Good Place specially was a Netflix Original outside the US too. 

The series was n’t one of the stylish performing shows for the network but still managed to maintain a good global followership thanks in part to Netflix. In the 2020-21 season, a number of NBC shows were anticipated to be removed with one of the shows mentioned being Good Girls. While the contrary was true, it was reported in June 2021 that the show would not be returning. 

 Why was n’t Good Girls renewed for season 5? 

Maybe more pertinently to this advertisement was the fact that the show would n’t be safeguarded away. Differ that to Manifest, another canceled NBC show (although not produced by NBC), which was safeguarded away and ultimately picked up by Netflix for a compounded final season. 

Still, surely Netflix could ’ve jumped in to save the day, If NBC passed on the show. After all, it had the streaming figures for all regions and has jumped onto revive shows in analogous situations in the history ( Designated Survivor and Lucifer being high exemplifications). 

It turns out Netflix would n’t get a chance to revive Good Girls as it was n’t indeed NBC’s decision to end the show. 

According to a comprehensive exclusive report from TVLine in July, the intention was the keep the show running with an eight- occasion final season 5 planned. 

According to their report, it eventually came down to plutocrat, creative differences, and scheduling with multiple sources saying “ renewal hit a major hitch inmid-June when accommodations withco-star Manny Montana hit a wall”. They also cite troubles between the relationship of Christina Hendricks and Manny Montana too but eventually concluded too numerous factors made the show insolvable to renew. 

So that leads us to Netflix. Could they’ve made the show’s fifth season? 

Well, that’s unclear. According to a report by Deadline, they state that plans did include a future whereby only Netflix would show Good Girls season 5 simply but would ’ve had to make deals work under any being pay structure. Universal TV reportedly came up with budgets for moving the show to a full Netflix Original show but easily, nothing of substance materialized. 

Eventually, it does n’t appear that Netflix was ultimately given the chance to pick it up as plutocrat and the other factors detailed above just made it insolvable to move forward. 

 Suckers crusade to save Good Girls Season 5 

 Despite all of the below, that has n’t stopped suckers looking to Netflix to save the show. 

 Suckers on social media are still active months latterly using the hashtag, “#SaveGoodGirls”. Likewise, active desires on spots likeChange.org have gained some traction over the summer too. 

While the book seems to be closed, it ca n’t hurt in expressing your opinion online indeed if it does feel futile for the show ever returning.
