Netflix has cancelled its Girlboss TV show after just one season. The comedy is inspired by Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso’s autobiography, #Girlboss. Reportedly, Amoruso announced the cancellation in a series of Instagram posts, but either she’s taken them down, or we can’t access them due to privacy settings.
Created by Kay Cannon, Girlboss stars Britt Robertson as Sophia Marlowe. The Netflix cast also includes: Ellie Reed, Alphonso McAuley, Johnny Simmons, Amanda Rea, Melissa Macedo, Michelle Macedo, Kimmy Shields, Norm MacDonald, Dean Norris, and Richard Wharton. Cannon served as show runner and executive produced with Charlize Theron, Laverne McKinnonand, Beth Konoof, Christian Ditter, and Amoruso.
Sophia Amoruso, whose life was the inspiration for the series, shared the news in a series of Instagram stories on Saturday.
“So that Netflix series about my life got canceled,” she wrote. “While I’m proud of the work we did, I’m looking forward to controlling my narrative from here on out. It was a good show, and I was privileged to work with incredible talent, but living my life as a caricature was hard even if only for two months. Yes, I can be difficult. No, I’m not a dick. No, someone named Shane never cheated on me. It will be nice to someday tell the story of what’s happened in the last few years. Ppl read the headline, not the correction, I’ve learned.”
The series was based on Amoruso’s New York Times best-selling book of the same name. It centers on Amoruso (Britt Robertson), who began selling vintage clothes on eBay and, by the age of 28, had built the multi-million dollar fashion empire, Nasty Gal.
What do you think? Have you watched Girlboss? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a second season on Netflix?
Ummmmm, I just watched GRILBOSS for 3rd time. I was upset when there was no season 2 but figured maybe meant to be a mini series. My BF will watch this show with me. That says alot. Just watched w/the BF over 4 days, watched all episodes. 1st time he watched every episode. When we got to last of season he asked “Why was it canceled?”. I said I have to think just a mini series. But def ended leaving feeling a season 2 was meant to be even though they did cover over 2 yrs of her life in… Read more »
I’m so sad I really Loved “Girlboss”…… It was a show that people could relate to on so many levels!! Britt Robertson did a fantastic job of portraying, Sophia Amoruso, whose life was the inspiration for the Netflix series. Everyone always says that if a show/movie is based off a book….that the book is better! I typically agree with that statement in most cases, but I have to give props to series “Girlboss” The series will get you hooked immediately and without hesitation….you will want to watch every episode as well as be excited for a new season to start!… Read more »
Loved Girlboss! So sad to hear it’s cancelled.
Girl boss should be renewed. I will cancel my Netflix if not. I’m hooked. Better advertising would get more viewers. It’s so inspirational and amazing. I don’t care what those high end newspaper/magazine writers say. They usually have horrible taste anyway, especially the ones who say bad things about Girl boss.
I started watching because I was bored. I was hooked from the start! I watched the entire season 1 that night into the next day. I’d watch the next 5 to 10 seasons. I love the story because it shows that you don’t have to start out on top. I hope netflix changes their minds and find some sort of common ground that they can work together and bring this awesome series back to life.
I liked this show, it was better than I thought it would be. The trailer for the show could have been better to show a better view of the show. I did not watch it right away because the trailer did not make the show look good and the tv show poster was not drawing me into the show. The lead actress Britt Robertson is great actress I have seen her on other shows also and I hope she gets another show soon. I also think all the actors on the are good.
Loved it. Sad it didn’t get a second season:(
I liked it so much I couldn’t wait for a s2, just to find out there wasn’t gonna be a s2! It makes me sad and angry. People just cannot get it. They all suck.
I liked the show even though it took a few episodes to get its groove and that might have frustrated people who decided not to continue watching the entire season. I was looking forward to another season.
