LOS ANGELES (AP) — Netflix is canceling “One Day at a Time” after three seasons.
In a statement Thursday, the streaming service’s chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, called it “disappointing” that more viewers didn’t discover the sitcom.
A tweet on a Netflix company account said not enough people watched to justify renewing it, and called the cancellation a difficult step.
We’ve made the very difficult decision not to renew One Day At A Time for a fourth season. The choice did not come easily — we spent several weeks trying to find a way to make another season work but in the end simply not enough people watched to justify another season.

Created by Gloria Calderon Kellett and Mike Royce, it was among the few TV series with Latinos as the lead characters.
Justina Machado played a single Cuban-American mom and military veteran, with Rita Moreno as her mother.
It was a reboot of the original “One Day at a Time,” which was co-created by Norman Lear and aired from 1975-84 with stars Valerie Bertinelli and Bonnie Franklin.
Lear was among the Netflix series’ executive producers.
