Netflix’s planned animated series based on Jeff Smith’s Bone has reportedly been canceled.
According to TheWrap, a number of creators say that “the Kids & Family space at Netflix Animation has changed” amid the firing of Phil Rynda, Netflix’s Director of Creative Leadership and Development for Original Animation, and several of his staff members. As a result, several well-received animated series are not being renewed for new seasons and a number of gestating projects have been abruptly canceled, including the Bone series.
News of Bone‘s apparent comes after Netflix’s stock dropped 30 percent after reporting a loss of 200,000 subscribers for the first quarter of 2022.
Written and illustrated by Smith, Bone is a beloved independent comic book series that ran for a total of 55 issues from 1991 to 2004. Smith self-published Bone through his Cartoon Books label for issues #1-20. The series was then published by Image Comics for issues #21-27 before jumping back to Cartoon Books for issues #28-55.
