Netflix’s latest emotional drama, Ripple, was a pleasant surprise, with brilliant storytelling and impressive acting from some known and lesser-known faces. It is a cozy, heartwarming drama that shows the challenges of life. Ripple follows the lives of four strangers in New York.

Stealing hearts in this wholesome eight-part drama series are Sydney Agudong (Aria), Ian Harding (Nate), Frankie Faison (Walter), and Julia Chan (Kris). In the show, Julia Chan enthralled as Kris, a record label executive.

Chan has also starred in Saving Hope as Dr. Maggie Lin and in Katy Keene as Pepper Smith, along with some underrated gems, including a Netflix thriller series. If you felt Chan’s ripple effect in Ripple, this Netflix thriller should definitely be on your watchlist.

Be it any role, Julia Chan has proven to be a phenomenal actress, and her Netflix supernatural horror-thriller series, Archive 81, is a testament of the same. The story follows archivist Dan (Mamoudou Athie), who takes on a mysterious job restoring tapes recorded by grad student Melody (Dina Shihabi).

Each tape contains details that gradually intrigue Dan, eventually pulling him into the mystery surrounding the tape’s creator. In the show, Julia Chan plays Annabelle Cho, Melody’s best friend and roommate. Cho is a free-spirited artist and a crucial part of the eight-episode series.

Now, this is an ideal show for those looking for a refreshing thriller. It features interesting characters, cult conspiracies, the right pinch of horror, jump scares, time travel, and strong performances from the entire cast, including Julia Chan.

Archive 81 received plenty of love upon its release on Netflix. While season one ended on a cliffhanger, hinting at another chapter, the question is: will we get a season 2?

Is there any season 2 for Archive 81, or did it once again fall into Netflix’s trend of cancelling shows? Unfortunately, the show was cancelled by Netflix, as reported by Deadline. What is interesting about it is that the reason behind its cancellation is almost as mysterious as the plot itself. 

  The show delivered strong numbers for the streaming platform. Archive 81 debuted at number seven on Netflix’s internal rankings and even jumped to number two. This was a good reason for the platform to consider renewing it for another season and yet, it stands discarded in Netflix's repository.   

As per IMDb, the creators had expressed interest in making a season two. Despite everything seemingly working in the show’s favor, it was cancelled. While this remains a mystery, Archive 81 is undeniably a gripping thriller worth watching, especially if you want to revisit Julia Chan’s brilliant performance.
