Summary
Shafted is the latest feel-good and raunchy French comedy, taking the same sort of premise that worked well in Alpha Males and adopting it to a brand new group of characters. The result? Well, a pretty hit or miss series but one that’s certainly going to have its fair share of fans. This has been quite the ride over the 6 episodes!
If you’ve finished watching this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Shafted about?
Shafted centers on four middle-aged male friends – Cédric, Tom, Jérémie and Tonio – who fumble their way through love, life and career crises in modern-day Paris. Naturally, the show takes on all manner of different relationship themes, including polyamory, divorce, infidelity and more, as our characters struggle to find their place amongst a sea of empowered women.
Has Shafted been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Shafted has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made. So far, Shafted has had a pretty mixed reaction online from critics and audiences alike, with many pointing out how similar to Alpha Males this is, which isn’t doing the show any favours.
Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we’re predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. Netflix haven’t necessarily advertised this as a Limited Series, but given the similarities and the relatively low buzz around this one, it does seem unlikely to return.
However, we could be completely wrong too, although that does seem very unlikely in this case.
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about Shafted season 2 at this point. The ending does leave room for a sequel, and if this should return, you can expect another 6 episode structure and a return of the same cast and crew from before.
However, that does seem rather unlikely given what we have to work with here. Either way, we’ll be sure to update this page when more information becomes available.

I found Shafted to be the most entertaining series I’ve watched in a very long time. I am not familiar with Alpha Males and have no interest in checking it out. I would certainly like to see a conclusion to Shafted as it was left open ended.
