The Flawless 100% Rotten Tomatoes Series “Blindspotting” Is Finally Landing on Netflix US After Starz Dropped It in 2023

Some shows get canceled because they’re bad. This one got canceled despite being one of the most acclaimed series of its run. “Blindspotting,” the critically adored Starz dramedy boasting a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score across both seasons, is finally arriving on Netflix in the United States — giving it the shot at a massive audience it never got the first time around.

Created by Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs, the series is a television spin-off of the acclaimed 2018 film Blindspotting, and both full seasons — 16 episodes total — drop on Netflix US on October 20.

Blindspotting: Overview

What’s the Show About?

Set six months after the film’s events, the series follows Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones), whose life is upended when her partner of 12 years is suddenly incarcerated. Forced to move in with his mother (Helen Hunt) and half-sister (Jaylen Barron), the show blends sharp comedy with spoken-word poetry and dance to explore life in Oakland, California, with guest appearances from E-40 and LeVar Burton.

A Show Canceled Too Early

Despite the acclaim, Starz axed Blindspotting in September 2023 alongside Heels and Run the World. Now it joins a growing wave of Starz titles — including Hightown, Party Down, and Power — finding new life on Netflix through licensing deals.

A Limited Window to Watch

Netflix’s Starz licensing arrangements typically run around two years before titles depart again, as seen with Black Sails and Heels. Fans eager to catch Blindspotting may want to add it to their queue sooner rather than later.
