Cancelled After 2 Seasons, Steven Spielberg’s Forgotten Sci-Fi Show Departs Netflix

A host of network television shows are leaving Netflix in the United States this February, mainly for rights reasons. Among them is a science-fiction drama that ran from 2014 to 2015 — effectively during the peak of TV's "Golden Era" — before being canceled after just two seasons. The series was titled Extant, and was executive produced by Steven Spielberg. It featured Halle Berry in the lead role, alongside an eclectic cast that included The Walking Dead's Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Shōgun's Hiroyuki Sanada. The show earned mostly positive reviews during the course of its run, but declining viewership and the emergence of streaming could've had something to do with its cancellation. However, it's currently available on Netflix, so if you haven't yet had the opportunity to check it out, now would be a great time.
