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:
- A slew of NBC cancellations were announced on May 9th, including a few like Suits LA, the spinoff of the sleeper hit, Suits, after just one season, and Found after two, to the surprise of many fans.
- More cancellations from CBS include Poppa’s House and The Summit. And then, just a few days later, the network has also cancelled Queen Latifah’sThe Equalizer.
- Despite international success, Prime Video has cancelled two Citadel spinoffs after one season each. Instead, the storylines will be interwoven into the main Citadel series’ season 2. Prime also announced the cancellations of The Power and Clean Slate, each ending after just one season.
- Taylor Tomlinson’s After Midnight will be ending after two seasons as Tomlinson moves back into stand-up comedy.
- 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 The Neighborhood after 8 seasons.
- 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!
- 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.
- FX’s The Old Man will end with season 2, cancelled due to a delayed production schedule.
