About
Shows the definitive catalogue of all original series and programming commissioned by Netflix that have been cancelled or concluded their run, providing a vital resource for media and entertainment analysis. The data was gathered via Python scripting, focusing specifically on listings from a public Wikipedia source detailing ended Netflix original programming. This product allows for in-depth statistical examination of show longevity, cancellation rates, and genre performance across Netflix’s history. The information is current up to 28 August 2023.
Columns (6 columns)
- Title: The official title given to the concluded show or series. Every entry has a unique title.
- Genre: The assigned genre of the show. Note that approximately 8% of records are missing genre information.
- Premiere Date: The official release date of the show or the first season. Dates range from 6 February 2012 to 24 August 2023.
- Finale Date: The date of the final episode or release. This date is equivalent to the Premiere Date if only a single release occurred.
- Seasons: The total number of seasons produced. The average number of seasons is 1.48, with a maximum recorded length of 8 seasons.
- Cancelled: A binary indicator showing whether the programme ended after only one season (labelled as 1) or ran for multiple seasons (labelled as 0). The mean value suggests that single-season runs are frequent.
Distribution
The data is provided in a standard tabular format, typically supplied as a CSV file, with a file size of approximately 98.12 kB. It consists of 6 distinct fields and 1353 individual records of ended programming. All fields are 100% valid except for the Genre column, which contains 8% null values.
Usage
This data is highly valuable for studying content life cycles, identifying factors that correlate with cancellation, and calculating the average run time of original content on major streaming platforms. It can also be used to compare Netflix’s content strategy and longevity metrics against similar analyses for services like Amazon Prime or Disney Plus. Analysts can drill down into the performance metrics of specific genres, such as True crime, which is frequently represented.
Coverage
The data covers Netflix original shows released over an 11-year span, specifically from February 2012 through August 2023. The scope is defined by the list of concluded original programming, predominantly focused on US and internationally co-produced shows available globally via the Netflix platform.
