Looking at the list of TV shows cancelled in 2025, there are definitely at least one or two gems we’ll want to re-stream in the future. That’s one good thing about living in the streaming age: Even when your favorite shows get cancelled, you can still (for the most part) revisit them whenever you wish.
Of course, not every series on this list was technically “cancelled.” Some, such as The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Righteous Gemstones are simply coming to their natural ends. Others, such as The Recruit, seem to have suffered the Netflix two-season curse, while shows like Amazon Prime’s Cruel Intentions perhaps fared better in theory than in reality.
Here’s the shows that won’t be returning to your screens after 2025.
Netflix
The Sandman: The inventive fantasy series, which starred Tom Sturridge as Morpheus, the king of dreams, was officially cancelled after just two seasons.
Territory: Netflix’s Australian answer to Yellowstone, Territory was cancelled after one season.
The Recruit: Noah Centineo doesn’t need a rom-com plot in order to be charming and adorable, which he was as a newbie CIA agent in The Recruit. Or maybe he does, because the show was cancelled after two seasons.
Peacock
In the Know: A stop-motion animation series made for adults, In the Know was a political satire developed by Zach Woods, which was cancelled after one season.
Teacup: The horror series, inspired by the novel Stinger, starred The Handmaid’s Tale‘s Yvonne Strahovski, but was cancelled after one season.
Hysteria!: Another short-lived horror series, but with a comedic twist, Hysteria! was also cancelled after a single, eight-episode season.
Mr. Throwback: Basketball legend Steph Curry starred as himself in this comedy series. Unfortunately, unlike his NBA career, his acting debut only lasted one season before getting cancelled.
Based on a True Story: Even with Emmy-winner Kaley Cuoco at the helm, this dark comedy—about a couple whose true crime podcast gets a special boost with help from the serial killer they’re covering—was cancelled after two seasons.
Amazon Prime Video
Harlem: Following four 30-something female friends living in the titular NYC neighborhood of Harlem, the series starred Meagan Good and Grace Byers, with recurring appearances by TV heavyweights Whoopi Goldberg and Jasmine Guy. Despite its positive reviews, the show was cancelled after three seasons.
The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh: The story of a family who immigrated from India to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania unfortunately only lasted for a single season before getting the ax.
The Sticky: A Canadian black comedy featuring Margo Martindale planning a high stakes maple syrup heist must have been too good for this world. It was cancelled after one season.
The Summer I Turned Pretty: The teen soap opera, in which a newly pretty girl played by Lola Tung finds herself in a love triangle with two brothers who happen to have been family friends for her entire life, is coming to a close after three seasons. Which is in accordance with the trilogy of books the show is based on.
Cruel Intentions: Sometimes, you just can’t recreate magic. Based on the classic 1999 film of the same name, which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair, the eight-episode series never quite lived up to its source material, and was cancelled after a single season.
Almost Paradise: Set and filmed in the Philippines, this crime drama was cancelled after just two seasons.
Honey Bunny: This Hindi-language Citadel spinoff was cancelled after one season, but you may still see some of its storylines play out in the second season of the original show, per Deadline.
Diana: Another Citadel spinoff, Diana was also cancelled after its first season.
The Power: Perhaps the world decided the premise of The Power was just too dangerous to keep going. In the show, which was based on a novel of the same name, all the teenage girls in the world suddenly get the ability to electrocute people at will, and soon they teach the older women how to do the same. Fans of the science-fiction series, which starred Toni Collette and premiered way back in 2023, were hoping for a second season. Unfortunately, the show was officially cancelled in 2025.
Clean Slate: Laverne Cox created and starred in this sitcom about a trans woman (Cox) reuniting with her father—who had no idea she’d transitioned. It was cancelled after one season.
The CW
Children Ruin Everything: This Canadian sitcom about a pair of young parents came to an end after four seasons.
FX
The Old Man: Jeff Bridges plays an ex-CIA agent who goes into hiding after killing a home intruder. John Lithgow and Alia Shawkat play the FBI agents assigned to apprehend him. The show was cancelled after two seasons.
Fox
9-1-1 Lone Star: This spin-off of, you guessed it, 9-1-1, starring Rob Lowe was cancelled after five seasons. But according to People, a new spin-off is already in the works.
Hulu
Extraordinary: This British comedy imagines a world in which everyone develops a superpower at the age of 18—except Jen, who’s 25 and still superpower-less. The series got generally stellar reviews and even some awards, but was still cancelled after its second season.
How to Die Alone: Starring Natasha Rothwell (you know her from The White Lotus and Insecure), How to Die Alone follows a woman who decides to take control of her own life after a near-death experience. Critics liked it, but it was cancelled after one season.
Wayne Brady: The Family Remix: Wayne Brady’s reality show about his own family aired eight episodes on Freeform, but Brady confirmed to People that Hulu had passed on a second season. “But we loved doing season 1, and who knows? Things may change and we may pop up somewhere doing something, but the bottom line is we’re always a family,” he added.
Solar Opposites: This adult-cartoon series about a family of aliens who are stuck on planet Earth after a crash landing first premiered in 2020. After five years, per Deadline, it will premiere its sixth and final season in the fall of 2025.
CBS
S.W.A.T.: It may be ending, but S.W.A.T. has to be one of TV’s most successful reboots. It was based on the 1970s series of the same name, and premiered in 2017, going on to last eight seasons. S.W.A.T. narrowly escaped cancellation after its sixth season in 2023, per Deadline. At the eleventh hour, it was granted one final seventh season, and then renewed at the last minute again, making its eighth season the actual final season.
FBI: Most Wanted: A true Dick Wolfe joint, Most Wanted, starring Dylan McDermott, was the first FBI spinoff, and ran for six seasons.
FBI: International: The second FBI spinoff, International, didn’t do quite as well as Most Wanted, but still ran for four successful seasons before getting cancelled.
The Neighborhood: Starring Max Greenfield of New Girl fame and Cedric the Entertainer, The Neighborhood is a pretty classic network sitcom, about a white Midwestern family who moves to a predominantly Black neighborhood in California. Hijinks and culture clashes and friendship ensue. It was cancelled after seven seasons.
**After Midnight: **The late-night show hosted by Taylor Tomlinson will have its finale in June. According to the New York Times, the show was set to come back for a third season, but Tomlinson decided she wanted to go back to stand-up comedy full-time. The network will now not have original programming in the 12:30 am slot for the first time in three decades.
**Poppa’s House: **The comedy series starring real-life father and son Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. was cancelled after one season.
**The Summit: **This reality series challenged contestants to climb a mountain within 14 days, with the first being filmed in the Southern Alps in New Zealand. That will be the only summit though, as CBS axed the series after one season.
ABC
The Conners: The spin-off of Roseanne aired its series finale in April after seven seasons. Pretty impressive for a show that had to fire Roseanne Barr for racist tweets shortly after it began.
HBO
The Franchise: Everyone loves a satirical workplace sitcom, but unfortunately, they didn’t love The Franchise—which spoofed the behind-the-scenes chaos of a big-budget superhero movie production—quite enough. The show was cancelled after just one season.
The Righteous Gemstones: A true IYKYK created by Danny McBride, The Righteous Gemstones starred McBride, Adam DeVine, John Goodman, Edi Patterson, and Cassidy Freeman as a family of ultra-wealthy televangelists and megachurch pastors. Think a sort of goofier Succession with an evangelist spin. Its fourth and final season ends in May of 2025.
Max
**Bookie: **This comedy starred Sebastian Maniscalco as a veteran sports betting bookie in Los Angeles, navigating his clients and also the rise of online gambling. In February, the network announced the second season would be its last.
**The Sex Lives of College Girls: **Mindy Kaling’s series about, well, the sex lives of college girls, comes to an end after three seasons, with our titular “girls” still in their sophomore year. Initially a hit, the series kind of dropped off after a while, perhaps in part due to the departure of its biggest breakout star, Renée Rapp.
Apple TV+
**The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin: **Described as a “irreverent retelling of the 18th-century highwayman’s life,” the British series starred Noel Fielding as the titular Dick. However, Deadline reported the second season, and the whole series, was scrapped after Fielding pulled out of the show.
**Mythic Quest: **The popular workplace comedy about staff at a video game studio ended after four seasons, but fans got a surprise—an updated finale with a new ending, which aired after the end of season four.
Disney+
Andor: Part of the ever-evolving and expanding Star Wars universe, Andor is a prequel series to Rogue One, in which Diego Luna returns as thief-turned-revolutionary, Cassian Andor. The series was originally planned to have five seasons, which then became three, and finally ended with two.
Paramount+
Frasier: The 2023 revival of Frasier, which was itself a spin-off of Cheers, was cancelled after two seasons. It seems that, even with Kelsey Grammer returning for the titular role, there was only so much juice left in this 40-year-old character.
