Bad news for fans of Netflix's V-Wars and October Faction, as neither show will return for a second run on the streaming giant.

THR reports that Netflix has decided to cancel two of its three IDW adaptations after just one season. The third, Locke and Key, has been renewed, however. No specific reason was given for the shows being scrapped, but since Netflix doesn't release viewership figures, it's assumed the decision was made based on internal data. Basically, Netflix didn't think it made financial sense to invest in more episodes.

V-Wars and October Faction now join other recently cancelled series Messiah, AJ and the Queen, Spinning Out, Soundtrack and Daybreak, which were also dropped after their first seasons.

 Neither show was particularly well received by critics. V-Wars sits at 56% on Rotten Tomatoes, while October Factions has an even more lackluster 33%.

What do you guys make of this news? Were you a fan of either or both shows? Drop us a comment in the usual place.

I haven’t watched V Wars yet but October Faction was done completely wrong! It had a fun cool idea and then made it boring as hell!

How bad do these have to be when they're cancelled and another life gets a season 2?

I gave Locke and Key a watch and I found myself liking it. The first few episodes were a little slow but later it picked up and I liked where they left off. This enticed me to pick up the first graphic novel and for personally I prefer the comic. Way darker and it delves deeper into the character’s minds. I feel that Netflix went for a tamer tone so it can appeal to the Stranger Things audience. Hopefully they pull more from the books for Season 2. The show has room to improve.

Also Laysla de Oliviera SLAYS on this show. What a beautiful villain.

No real loss, though Spinning Out getting cancelled is disappointing and was better than I thought it would be, plus that ending.

As for Locke and Key, I'm glad it is getting another season. I just hope with season 2 it can become more darker, like the comics.

Ian Somerhalder going from one vampire show to another makes absolutely no sense, especially if he wasnt playing a vampire in the latter

I think I watched all of one episode of both series and that was enough.

Saying I thought them both were crap would be giving them too much credit.

I actually liked "Messiah", but I do concede it had it's faults. I still would have loved to see a second season and see where it was heading to.
