Netflix has canceled “Grand Army” after just one season. The series “tunnels into a generation that’s raging and rising. Five students at the largest public high school in Brooklyn take on our chaotic world as they fight to succeed, survive, wild out, break free and seize the future.” according to its logline.
The nine-episode first — and now final — season of “Grand Army” launched Oct. 16 of last year on Netflix. “Grand Army” was created by Katie Cappiello, who based it on her 2013 stage show “Slut: The Play.” That project was developed with members of The Arts Effect All-Girl Theater Company to comment on the impact of slut-shaming and slut culture.
Cappiello executive produced Netflix’s “Grand Army” alongside Josh Donen, Nicolette Donen, Elizabeth Kling, Jordan Tappis, Beau Willimon. Directors of the first season episodes included So Yong Kim, Darnell Martin, Tina Mabry, Silas Howard, Clément Virgo “Grand Army” is fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 71% rating among critics, a 70% among top critics and a popcorn-worthy 80% among audience. Unfortunately, there just wasn’t enough of an audience.
Season 1 of the show is available for streaming on Netflix.
