Kid Cudi Explains Why ‘Entergalactic’ Never Got a Sequel: ‘I Asked Them Multiple Times’

Kid Cudi is opening up about why his Netflix hit Entergalactic didn’t receive a follow-up.

In response to a fan on X earlier this week, Cudder said the animated project, which earned critical praise in September 2022 and even won an Emmy, didn’t stream the way Netflix expected. Plans of a sequel never came to pass as a result.

“I asked them multiple times about doing another season and they told me no becuz they say it didn’t stream the way they expected,” Cudi wrote on Thursday (June 26). “Critically acclaimed, and a Emmy win, and still no interest. Very sad and it breaks my heart. I felt like the audience would’ve grown and more people woulda caught on, but they weren’t into it.”

He added that regardless of Netflix’s belief, Entergalactic “changed the game” and made an undeniable “impact.”

Billboard has reached out to Netflix for comment.

Cudi’s Entergalactic won the 2023 Primetime Emmy for outstanding individual achievement in animation, and was also nominated for outstanding animated program. The animated special also came with Cudi’s eighth studio album, Entergalactic.

In other news, Kid Cudi is currently hard at work on a new album. He dropped off the lead single “Neverland” back in May. Additionally, Cudi testified against Diddy at the mogul’s federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial on May 22. After his testimony, he shouted out his supporters on X.

“Hey guys, so I, I just wanna say, man, I’ve been seeing all the love and support, and I just wanna say thank you so much, man. People have been hitting me up the past week just checking in and, and even today, and I just, it really means a lot to me, man,” he wrote at th etime. “You guys are the best. I love y’all. This is a stressful situation. I’m glad it’s behind me and yeah, I love y’all, man.”
