Season 1 & Season 2 of Insatiable
Before season 1 of the show was even released, it had started a controversy among the general public. The show received backlash, and more than 1 million people agreed to an inline petition and signed it to cancel the show. The accusations remarked against the series were for fat-shaming.
Debby Ryan, who plays the protagonist, addressed the social diabolical and went on to comment that they want to bring the issue through their show. She went on to add that the primary objective of the show is to help people feel better about themselves. No matter the appearance and their weight. And clearly stated that the creators are in no way trying to fat shame “Patty”, the main protagonist.

However, despite so many efforts, the show didn’t receive much love from the audience. And Netflix had to cancel the contract after two seasons.
Will Insatiable be returning for a season 3?
When season 1 was released, it was neither able to generate viewers and also received bad reviews. But Netflix saw potential in the series and went out to develop a season 2. However, Season 3 appears to be of the cards to be renewed. Renewing it for season 2 after so many controversies regarding fat shaming. And decreased viewership for the show was regarded as a bold move from Netflix.
But they weren’t ready for a third season. Cindy Holland, the former head of Netflix Original, walked the audience, stating that there wasn’t enough audience for the series, and they wanted to invest in something that the viewers want to watch.
What will happen in Insatiable Season 3 returns?
Even before the series was cancelled, showrunner Lauren Gussis hinted about a future season in which she would dive more into Patty’s emotions. For the time being, she’ll focus on re-establishing her moral compass and inner basis. She had already been getting even with those who ridiculed her. However, once she had killed Pageant, she said that becoming a beauty queen was the best thing she’d ever experienced. Despite telling the truth, it’s the beginning of her rehabilitation and reassessment of her principles. Therefore, if season 3 ever returns, it will give Patty more insight into herself. And the season will work on the moral compass of the character.
