uncertain about production dates and balancing the needs of the large cast.
The decision to cancel the show was made in April as the streaming service also announced the cancellation of "The Society" and "I Am Not OK With This" due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Netflix released a statement saying that they were disappointed they had to cancel "The Society" and "I am Not OK With This."
While both shows were initially being renewed for a new season, the streamer was affected by budget issues. They said:
"We are grateful to these creators...and all the writers, cast and crews who worked tirelessly to make these shows for our members around the world."
Netflix also added that "Altered Carbon" was not being canceled due to COVID-19 related issues, but because of the cost renewal process.
Fans have expressed their disappointment at the cancellation news, with Erik Kain of Forbes calling it one of the best science fiction dramas on TV.
At the end of season two, many viewers were looking forward to seeing Will Yun Lee's version of Takeshi Kovacs become the center of the show.
In the series, Kovacs was a former soldier turned investigator who solved murders in a future where the human consciousness can be transferred to different bodies.
