She’s Gotta Have It Cancelled After Two Seasons At Netflix

July 18, 2019

Following the second season premiere of She’s Gotta Have It in May, Deadline reports that Netflix has decided not to give Oscar winner Spike Lee’s comedy-drama series a third season renewal. According to the outlet’s sources, Lee is reportedly planning to shop the series elsewhere.

“Spike Lee is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time and we’re thrilled he brought the series She’s Gotta Have It (1986, based on his first feature film) to Netflix,” Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said in a statement. “While this is our last season, we’re very proud that it will be on our service for years to come, and excited to be working with Spike on his upcoming Netflix film Da 5 Bloods.”

The Netflix Original Series starred DeWanda Wise (Shots Fired) in the central role of Nola Darling, a Brooklyn-based artist in her late twenties struggling to define herself and divide her time amongst her Friends, her Job and her Three Lovers: Greer Childs played by Cleo Anthony (Divergent), Jamie Overstreet played by Lyriq Bent (The Book of Negroes) and Mars Blackmon played by “Hamilton” alum Anthony Ramos. Chyna Layne (Precious), Ilfenesh Hadera (Baywatch), Margot Bingham (Barbershop: The Next Cut), Sydney Morton (Love, New York) and Joie Lee (Do The Right Thing) also star.

Oscar-winner Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, Inside Man) directed all 10 episodes of Season 1, with Tonya Lewis Lee executive producing. Barry Michael Cooper and Lynn Nottage are also producers.

Seasons 1 and 2 are all available for streaming on Netflix. You can pick up a copy of the original film here.
