Celeste Barber shades Netflix over bulls**t move

Australian comedian Celeste Barber criticizes Netflix for not renewing her hit series "Wellmania," expressing frustration and disappointment in a social media post.

Celeste Barber, the Australian comedian, expressed her disappointment in a recent social media post after her hit Netflix series, Wellmania, was not renewed for a second season. The eight-part comedy, in which Barber starred as Australian food writer Liv Healy, debuted on Netflix in March and quickly became a global success, reaching the platform's top 10 list.

In an Instagram video message, Barber revealed that she had been informed by Netflix bosses on Monday that the series would not be returning for another season. While acknowledging that there are more important things happening in the world, Barber acknowledged that many of her fans were curious about the show's future.

Barber expressed her confusion over the decision, stating that she believed the series had performed well. She also criticized the industry, calling it "bulls**t." The fact that Wellmania was not renewed immediately after its successful debut earlier this year likely contributed to Barber's frustration.

Despite the disappointment, Barber thanked her loyal fans for their love and support, expressing her own sadness at not being able to further explore the character of Liv Healy. She concluded her message by encouraging her followers to cherish their loved ones and watch old DVDs instead of relying on Netflix.

The post garnered thousands of comments from fans, including a supportive message from US actress Sharon Stone. News.com.au reached out to Netflix for comment on the situation.

Barber, who is currently filming the movie Runt in Perth, expressed her pride in the success of Wellmania, co-created by Brigid Delaney and Benjamin Law and adapted from Delaney's nonfiction book. She highlighted the show's global popularity and expressed gratitude for her audience, who have supported her transition from Instagram personality to actor and comedian.

Barber's social media is now flooded with messages from fans around the world, eagerly inquiring about a potential second season. The overwhelming response is a testament to the show's impact and Barber's growing international fanbase.
