Dash & Lily – Why Did Netflix Slash ‘Dash and Lily’?

Why did Netflix cancel ‘Dash and Lily’? There can never be enough Christmas stories on screen adapted from YA books. Let’s find out what went down.

People love to see a good yin & yang pair because we’re conditioned to believe that opposites are meant to be together, so the next things to look forward to are the meet-cutes. Dash & Lily has a way with all of these tropes. Now, reportedly, Dash & Lily — both the show & the characters — won’t be getting more time with their fans.

“I would love to be able to go back and do the second book and third book. I love these characters so much and the city that they live in. We’d be lying if we said we hadn’t seen it coming.

So that’s one of those shows, like Dash & Lily, which just won a bunch of Daytime Emmys where it’s like we, and the team at 21 Laps, feel like we made the show we promised. That’s what happened there.” — As we mourn the loss of an anticipated second season, we will rewatch the series this festive season & every festive season to relive the Christmas miracle of Dash & Lily’s New Year’s Kiss.

Which Season Of Netflix’S Dash & Lily Will Not Return For Season Two?

DASH AND LILY (L to R) AUSTIN ABRAMS as DASH and MIDORI FRANCIS as LILY in episode 108 of DASH AND LILY Cr. ALISON COHEN ROSA/NETFLIX 2020 Netflix’s Dash & Lily will unfortunately not return for season two. Almost a year after the show’s initial release in November 2020, it was announced that the series has been canceled on Wednesday.

Not only was it the perfect escape show, but the cast and creators were already on board to continue the story. During a set visit back in November 2019, showrunner Joe Tracz told POPSUGAR that he already has a few ideas for how he would continue the story. It’s so great to write a first season knowing what the second book is and knowing where Dash and Lily go in their story from the end of season one, he said.

I’ve already signed a couple contracts, so I’m on board, he told POPSUGAR ahead of the show’s release. I’m not really sure what the plan is exactly, and I’m not sure what I would want to see, I can only assume they’d want it to be in the spirit of the second book. With Netflix continuing to expand its holiday rom-com lineup this year, it felt like a no-brainer that they would renew Dash & Lily.

Seriously, what gives Netflix? At least we have the Dash & Lily books to know how the characters’ stories end, but we’re still holding out hope that Netflix will change their mind.
