    Part of that is on the show runners and writers. Netflix makes decisions off of viewership and other metrics, it’s the show runners that decide to have seasons end on cliffhangers

      Netflix could always tell the show they aren’t being renewed and give them the opportunity to wrap things up. Even if it’s just with a two hour movie. Traditional networks frequently do this with shows. It would also make better sense because if the back catalog of shows on a streamer don’t end properly, no one’s going to subscribe to watch them.

        It’s been said many times before, but I would absolutely include an escape clause (?) in any contract with them, that sets aside a portion of the budget for a “wrap up” mini series/feature length episode/or straight up movie.
