Netflix cancels Jake Paul reality show after backlash
The streaming giant has pulled the plug on the controversial series following criticism from viewers and advocacy groups.
The decision comes after the show was met with widespread criticism for its portrayal of Paul and his entourage.
Netflix has canceled its reality show about YouTuber Jake Paul after just one season following a backlash from viewers and advocacy groups.
The streaming giant announced the decision on Friday, saying that it had "decided not to move forward with the second season of 'The Jake Paul Show'."
The show, which premiered in April, followed Paul and his entourage as they traveled the world and partied with celebrities.
However, the show was met with widespread criticism for its portrayal of Paul and his entourage, who were accused of being disrespectful and irresponsible.
Several advocacy groups also criticized the show for promoting a culture of toxic masculinity.
In a statement, Netflix said that it had "heard the concerns of many viewers" about the show.
"We have decided to not move forward with the second season of 'The Jake Paul Show'," the statement said.
"We believe that this is the best decision for our members and for Netflix."
Paul has not yet commented on the cancellation of his show.
