Why Did Netflix Cancel The Show?
Despite having a massive fan following, the post-apocalyptic teen show fails to compete with the streamer’s originals. Speculations around the internet say that the main reason behind Daybreak’s cancellation is its lack of marketing. Some fans believe that the series didn’t manage to get enough viewership because Netflix overlooks the promotion of such projects over its popular ones. At this point, this seems to be the likeliest reason for slitting a capable show this early.

Can Another Platform Save Daybreak?
When a deserving show gets canceled, all we can expect is for another platform to save it. Netflix has previously saved plenty of such series. However, it’s rare for any Netflix show to shift on another streaming channel (except One Day At A Time – being a Sony production). As of the current situation, chances are pretty low for Daybreak Season 2’s revival. Well, fans can still keep some hope and wait for the miracle.
