Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos says they have “never canceled a successful show.”
“A lot of these shows were well-intended but talk to a very small audience on a very big budget.”

Shape Island is some kind of anomaly. For small children dealing with a wonderful assortment of themes, and somehow a beautiful thing for adults.
I wish there were an English word meaning ‘the gentle melancholy felt after awaking from a childhood dream’ because I’d use it here
Get ready!!! Pinecone & Pony season 2 is coming with brand new episodes on February 3 on @AppleTV !! https://apple.com/tv-pr/news/2023/01/apple-tv-expands-award-winning-kids-and-family-slatewith-new-animated-series-eva-the-owlet-and-frog-and-toad-alongside-live-action-cgi-blended-series-jane/…
! I wrote the episodes "Message in a Bottle" and "Square's Sleepover". This series is based off of Jon Klassen & Mac Barnett's amazing Shape book series, so you know it's going to be good 🏝️#ShapeIsland
I truly can not express how proud and happy I am to have gotten to help bring such an incredible project to life. It's impossibly gratifying to get to see this show in all its (very cute) glory, and knowing that people and their kids are watching together fills my heart up.
Love scrolling. I love seeing something that doesn’t matter that I’ll remember until I die for no reason and I think that’s useful space taken up in my brain
I am constantly making this argument for my show now. I laughed at Looney Tunes and Animaniacs, it is okay if we go a little over kids’ heads. They’ll keep up. In fact, they’ll be excited to think they’re watching something that’s above their age. twitter.com/jbouie/status/…
