Naomi Watts, who earned $275,000 per episode of the American psychological thriller web television series Gypsy, was likely disappointed in August 2017 when Netflix canceled the series after one season.

It was the quickest Netflix had ever canceled one of its original scripted dramas. While no official reason for the cancellation was given, Gypsy had a 31% top critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Hollywood Reporter called the characters “forgettable” and the material “subpar” and “dull.”

“Basically, the show you probably want Gypsy to be by the third or fourth episode might end up being the second season, and there’s too much psychobabble to wade through to get there,” Daniel Fienberg wrote in his review.

The series’ final episode, “Black Barn,” ended on a cliffhanger with no resolution. Gypsy’s creator, Lisa Rubin, talked to EW in June 2017 about the direction season 2 might take.

In terms of a season 2, in general, it will become more of a thriller. The last few episodes of season 1 are more intense because our commitment was to it being a slow burn. Those first five episodes are about immersing yourself in Jean’s world…

I’m surprised at how many people are with Jean despite what she’s doing, which is part of what I wanted… it sets us up for a season 2. We’re fully in, a lot is happening. Obviously, there’s a lot more escalation. In those ways, it will potentially answer critics.
