TV Shows Canceled in 2025: Here Are All the Shows Ending This Year

Looking at the list of TV shows canceled 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 canceled, you can still (for the most part) revisit them whenever you wish.

Still, many fans are understandably devastated when beloved projects meet their end too soon. On July 2, Deadline reported that Netflix officially canceled Pulse and The Residence, two freshman series that many fans wish were given more time. “The Residence had potential like Knives Out,” one fan said of the comedy helmed by Orange Is the New Black alum Uzo Aduba. “We need more whodunnit tv shows and that was a masterpiece!!!”

Thankfully, some shows still have the potential to be saved by another network. According to Deadline, Amazon Prime’s new police procedural On Call, starring Pretty Little Liars’ Troian Bellisario, is currently being considered by two other platforms.

Of course, not all series that are ending this year were technically “canceled.” Some, such as The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Righteous Gemstones, are simply coming to their natural ends.

Here are the shows that won’t be returning to your screens after 2025.

Honey Bunny: This Hindi-language Citadel spin-off was canceled 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 canceled after its first season.

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 canceled in 2025.

The Boys: The bloody superhero drama ends after season five, though the spin-off Gen V lives on.

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 canceled after its second season.

CBSThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert: Well, kind of. It was announced this year, but the show won’t actually be ending until 2026, and the timing is
suspicious, to say the least. Sure, there’s a good argument that the move was financially motivated, but did they even try cutting corners, or did they just want outspoken Trump critic Colbert off the air so Trump would okay the upcoming Paramount/Skydance merger?

The Equalizer: Queen Latifah’s crime drama was canceled after five seasons. Even worse, news of the cancelation came after the season-five finale, which will now serve as the show’s send-off. Latifah starred as an ex-CIA operative in the reboot of the ’80s series of the same name, which also inspired the movie franchise starring Denzel Washington.

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 cancelation 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 spin-off, and ran for six seasons.

FBI: International: The second FBI spin-off, International, didn’t do quite as well as Most Wanted, but still ran for four successful seasons before getting canceled.

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 canceled 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 a.m. 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 canceled 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.

ABCThe 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.

HBOThe Righteous Gemstones

And Just Like That
: Everyone’s favorite hate-watch was finally getting good with the ouster of Aidan, but surprise! The finale of season three is actually a series finale. Sarah Jessica Parker posted an emotional farewell to Carrie Bradshaw that’s way more Carrie than the “novel” she’s supposedly been writing all season.

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 canceled 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 2025.

MaxDuster: Did anyone know what this was? The ’70s-set thriller series starring Josh Holloway was axed after a single season.

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.

Julia: TV’s favorite chef will not cook past her second season.

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, RenĂ©e Rapp.

Apple TV+Acapulco: Eugenio Derbez’s ’80s-set resort series will wrap up its run at the end of its current fourth season.

The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin: Described as an “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+Halo: The adaptation of the hit game will get a real halo in TV heaven as it ends after two seasons.

Frasier: The 2023 revival of Frasier, which was itself a spin-off of Cheers, was canceled 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.
