Did one of your favorite shows get renewed or face the axe this year? Let’s dig into all the cancelled and ending TV shows for 2025 as of April 1.
Notable Cancelled or Ending Shows in 2025
In the first month of 2025, we’ve seen more than a few fan-favorite shows get cancellation announcements. Here are some of the biggest:
- FX’s The Old Man will end with season 2, cancelled due to a delayed production schedule.
- The satirical drama, The Righteous Gemstones, will officially end after Season 4.
- Netflix’s The Sandman has been given the boot, with the comic book adaptation set to end with its upcoming second season. The show garnered rave reviews, so many may be asking, “Why did they cancel Sandman?” While we can’t say for sure, it very well may have to do with the fact the comic book creator, Neil Gaiman, is facing growing sexual misconduct allegations, to which he has denied.
- Natasha Rothwell (of The White Lotus), creator and star of How to Die Alone, was saddened to find out the Hulu series was cancelled after one season. So were the show’s many fans!
- CBS has announced several cancellations including Shemar Moore’s S.W.A.T., FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted. A few weeks later the network also announced the ending of fan favorite The Neighborhood after 8 seasons.
- Speaking of CBS, Taylor Tomlinson’s After Midnight will be ending after two seasons as Tomlinson moves back into stand-up comedy.
