Canceled TV shows 2025: Which of your favorite shows got the axe?
We’re only five months into 2025, but dozens of fan-favorite broadcast and streaming series have already been canceled.
Last year we said goodbye to everything from The Acolyte and Our Flag Means Death to My Lady Jane, Station 19, and The Flight Attendant. And this year, we’ve learned we’ll have to part with several spinoffs, exciting streaming originals that only got one season to shine, a few long-running shows we could have watched forever, and more.
In the spirit of keeping you informed about the fate of your favorite series, Decider compiled all the major 2025 cancelations from networks like ABC, FOX, CBS, and NBC, as well as popular streaming platforms including Netflix, Hulu, Max, Apple TV+, Disney+, and more in one handy location.
As always, the shows on this list aren’t ones that are set to reach their natural conclusion in 2025 or end on their own terms. You won’t find series like 9-1-1: Lone Star, which was canceled in 2024 but concluded in 2025. You won’t find shows like Heartstopper, which Netflix confirmed is ending but is getting a movie to give fans and characters the closure they deserve. And you won’t find series like The Bachelorette, which is paused for 2025, not officially canceled. The titles below were actively canceled or cut short by higher powers this year, and as the months progress, we’ll be sure to keep this list updated.
Brace yourselves, TV lovers. The 2025 bloodbath has begun. So grab your tissues, fire up your group chats, and get ready to learn which beloved series got the boot so far in 2025.

Citadel Season 2 is expected in 2026.

- S.W.A.T: Fans of Shemar Moore’s police drama got déjà vu when S.W.A.T. was canceled again on March 6 after CBS reversed its May 2023 cancelation and saved the series for two more seasons. Despite Moore’s hopes that S.W.A.T. could find another home on a new network or streaming service, the series remains canceled as of writing this post.

THE CW
DISNEY+
- Extraordinary: After 2 seasons, Disney+ canceled the Máiréad Tyers and Sofia Oxenham comedy in January despite a major cliffhanger that set up a Season 3.
- Shardlake: Disney+ also canceled the four-part historical mystery series starring Arthur Hughes, Sean Bean and Anthony Boyle ahead of a second season.
FOX
FX
HULU
- How to Die Alone: In a shocking move, Hulu opted not to renew Natasha Rothwell’s How to Die Alone, part of Disney’s Onyx Collective, for a Season 2. In a statement to Variety, Rothwell said she was “heartbroken” and “baffled,” but wasn’t giving up hope that the series could find a new home.

NETFLIX
- The Recruit: In another shocker, Netflix pulled the plug on The Recruit, which starred Noah Centineo as a CIA lawyer, on March 5. The show’s star Colton Dunn initally revealed that the series wasn’t being renewed for Season 3, and per Centineo, it was canned because “Netflix, they have a certain mandate that they need to fill… it just didn’t really fit what it was that they needed.”
- Territory: Despite its 87% Rotten Tomatoes score, Territory, a popular Australian Western series, was also canned by Netflix after one season.
