This year, shows like American Born Chinese, Blue Bloods, Our Flag Means Death, and Yellowstone are concluding or being canceled across broadcast networks and streaming services.
The television landscape is experiencing a wave of cancellations across various platforms. Disney+ has canceled the action-fantasy series American Born Chinese after just one season. Max’s pirate-themed romantic comedy Our Flag Means Death has also been axed after two seasons, and Apple TV+ has ended Schmigadoon after two seasons despite having a script for a third. Additionally, Minx, which was initially canceled by Max as a tax loss and picked up by Starz, has been canceled again.
On the other hand, some series are wrapping up quietly, either due to creative decisions or a lack of audience engagement. The police family drama Blue Bloods, starring Tom Selleck, will conclude this fall after 14 seasons. Meanwhile, Taylor Sheridan’s popular modern western Yellowstone is set to end with the final episodes of its fifth season, slated for November on the Paramount Network. However, fans can look forward to new spin-offs that will continue the Yellowstone story.
