Netflix Renews House of Guinness, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, and Devil May Cry — June’s Streaming Scorecard

June has been a busy month for streaming announcements, and the second week brought a flurry of renewal and cancellation news that reshapes what’s coming to your watchlist. Netflix led the charge with three significant renewals, while other platforms made quiet but consequential decisions about their slates. Here’s the full breakdown of what got renewed, what got axed, and what it means for your streaming rotation.

House of Guinness Renewed for Season 2 on Netflix

The biggest streaming renewal of the week belongs to House of Guinness, Netflix’s lavish period drama about the battle for control of Ireland’s famous brewing dynasty. The series, which draws comparisons to Succession for its family-power struggles set against a historical backdrop, has been renewed for a second season. The confirmation came via Variety on June 12, putting to rest any questions about the show’s future after its first season landed to strong reviews earlier this year.

The series follows the Guinness family empire during the late 19th century, blending historical drama with the kind of corporate-family intrigue that modern audiences devour. If you haven’t caught up yet, Season 1 is available now on Netflix, and the renewal gives you ample reason to start.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Gets a Third and Final Season

Netflix also confirmed that A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will return for a third season, though the news comes with bittersweet caveats. The mystery drama, based on Holly Jackson’s bestselling YA trilogy, will conclude Pip Fitz-Amobi’s story with a four-episode final season. The episode count is a reduction from the six that comprised the first two seasons, reflecting the creative team’s decision to adapt the third and final book in the trilogy, As Good as Dead, more compactly.

The good news: production on Season 3 has already wrapped, meaning the wait between seasons should be shorter this time. Netflix has confirmed a 2027 release window. The show stars Emma Myers as the sharp-witted teen investigator Pip, who has tangled with killers, corrupt officials, and small-town secrets across two seasons that each earned warm critical reception for their tightly plotted mysteries.

For fans of twisty YA adaptations, this final chapter promises to deliver a satisfying conclusion that honors Jackson’s source material while leaving its mark on the genre.

Devil May Cry Gets a Third and Final Season

Joining the renewal parade is Devil May Cry, Netflix’s animated adaptation of the beloved Capcom video game franchise. The series, which debuted its first season in April, has been picked up for a third season that will serve as the show’s conclusion. This is a vote of confidence in the series’ trajectory, given that the second season hasn’t even premiered yet — Netflix essentially committed to telling the complete story from the outset.

The animated series, produced by Studio Mir and Adi Shankar, has been celebrated for its stylish action sequences, faithful character designs, and Johnny Yong Bosch’s voice performance as Dante. The preemptive renewal for a final third season suggests the streaming giant sees long-term value in the franchise, even as it paces the rollout across multiple years.

Other Notable Renewals and Decisions Across Streaming

Beyond Netflix, several other platforms have made decisions worth noting in recent weeks:

• Widow’s Bay (Apple TV+) — Apple quietly renewed the horror-comedy starring Matthew Rhys for a second season. The show, about a remote island with a dark supernatural secret, found a devoted audience through its blend of genuine scares and dark humor.
• The Bear (FX/Hulu) — Confirmed for a fifth season that will be the final chapter, premiering June 25. This was known but worth reiterating as it marks the end of one of streaming’s most acclaimed series.
• House of the Dragon (HBO/Max) — Already renewed for Season 3 (premiering June 21), with Season 4 already greenlit as the finale. The show remains HBO’s flagship post-Game of Thrones property and shows no signs of slowing down.
• Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix) — Renewed for Seasons 2 and 3 simultaneously. Season 2 premieres June 25, with Season 3 expected in 2027 to conclude the live-action adaptation.

What Got Canceled

Not every show was as fortunate. The most notable cancellation in recent weeks was NBC’s The Hunting Party, which was axed after two seasons. The Melissa Roxburgh drama was the final broadcast show from the 2025-2026 season whose fate had been undecided, and its cancellation officially wraps up the broadcast renewal cycle. The show is being shopped to other platforms, with Netflix reportedly a potential landing spot given the series’ strong performance on the platform.

On the streaming side, Yellowjackets concluded with its fourth season, bringing the survival-horror-drama to a planned end on Paramount+. And over on HBO, Hacks wrapped up after five brilliant seasons, with creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky delivering a finale that fans and critics alike praised as one of the most satisfying conclusions in recent memory.

What This Means for Streamers

June’s renewal wave tells a clear story: streaming services are prioritizing shows with strong fan engagement and clear creative endpoints. Netflix’s approach to House of Guinness, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, and Devil May Cry — all greenlit with defined conclusions — suggests a strategic shift away from the open-ended model that previously dominated. Planned endings mean tighter storytelling and less risk of cancellation on a cliffhanger.

For viewers, this is great news. The shows getting renewed are the ones people are actually watching and talking about. And knowing a series has a planned endpoint — whether it’s a four-episode final season or a multi-season arc — makes the commitment to start watching feel much safer.

Keep an eye on the next few weeks for more streaming announcements as the industry heads into the summer lull. If your favorite show hasn’t heard its fate yet, chances are the decision is coming before July.
