It’s the end of the road for several canceled TV shows.
So far, 2025 has been a big year for the small screen, with the return of many fan-favorite shows, from Max’s The White Lotus to Apple TV+’s Severance. But much like previous years, viewers also had to say goodbye to other programs following their shocking cancellations, such as Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls and several beloved CBS procedurals, including S.W.A.T. and FBI: Most Wanted.
On May 7, CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach opened up about the cancellations of many of the network’s popular shows, saying, “We have to be fiscally responsible.”
“It’s not easy to end shows and we had a lot of options this year,” she said, per Deadline. “The schedule is really full and so we always have to look at all of our shows, look at the aggregate information, the creative of where they are in their life cycle, what the finances look like, what the ratings are, and then we make those tough decisions.”
So, your favorite series got the axe? Don’t worry: there are several new shows to keep you busy on the couch during rainy day watching marathons, including Hulu’s Paradise and Disney+’s Daredevil: Born Again.
From The Sex Lives of College Girls to S.W.A.T., here are all of the TV shows that have been canceled (so far!) in 2025.
ABC
- Doctor Odyssey: The medical drama won’t be getting a second season after the cast’s contracts expired on June 30. Since the show wasn’t formally canceled, there is still a chance it may be picked up by a different network or streamer, as Deadline reported.
Apple TV+
- The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin: The Noel Fielding-led comedy was scrapped by Apple TV+ after the star stepped away from the show in early 2025. The show ran for one season.
- Mythic Quest: After four seasons, the gaming workplace comedy series was canceled by Apple TV+ in April. The news came days after the season 4 finale, though it got an updated ending version shortly after in order to give the series more closure for fans. “Because endings are hard, with Apple’s blessing we made one final update to our last episode — so we could say goodbye, instead of just game over,” the series creators and executive producers said in a statement, per Deadline.
CBS
- S.W.A.T.: The police drama has been canceled and renewed several times, but in March 2025, it officially hit CBS’ chopping block. After eight seasons, the Shemar Moore-led series wrapped on May 16.
- FBI: Most Wanted: In March 2025, the follow-up to the Dick Wolf franchise, starring Dylan McDermott, was canceled after a six-season run.
- FBI: International: Along with its fellow spin-off in the FBI franchise, the Jesse Lee Soffer-led series was canceled after four seasons.
- The Neighborhood: CBS announced in March 2025 that season 8 of the long-running hit comedy series would be its final one. “The brilliant cast and creative team at THE NEIGHBORHOOD led by the incomparable Cedric the Entertainer have brought levity, laughter and poignant storylines to Monday nights for seven incredible seasons,” Reisenbach said in a press release, adding that “the show’s loyal fans deserve a proper farewell.”
- After Midnight: The network announced in March 2025 that the late-night show was being scrapped due to host Taylor Tomlinson wanting to focus on her stand-up comedy career, per Variety. Stephen Colbert, who helped produce the show, released a statement, saying, “While we were excited and grateful for our third season to start in the fall, we respect Taylor’s decision to return to stand-up full time.”
- Poppa’s House: The sitcom — starring Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. — was canceled in April 2024 after one season.

Fox

- The Sex Lives of College Girls: Although its production company explored finding a new home, the Mindy Kaling-co-created comedy series was officially canceled in April 2025. Its season 3 finale was mostly cliffhanger-free, though it wasn’t meant to be the end of the show. “We were very much hoping to find a new home for that one, and I think we’ve now come to the end of the road, which is disappointing, because it’s a show that we really love,” Warner Bros. TV Group chairman Channing Dungey told Deadline in April 2025.
Hulu
- How to Die Alone: The comedy series created by and starring Natasha Rothwell was canceled by the network after one season. “This is hard to comprehend … My heart aches for the incredible cast, crew and writers who gave their all to tell this story,” Rothwell wrote on Instagram in February 2025. “Now, my prayer is that this news will be but a comma in the HTDA story, not a period.”
- Wayne Brady: The Family Remix: In a February 2025 interview with PEOPLE, Wayne Brady confirmed that his show had not been renewed for a second season.

Things may change and we may pop up somewhere doing something, but the bottom line is we’re always a family,” Brady said.

We have a pretty strong cult following. And with Netflix, it just didn’t really fit what it was that they needed, I suppose. And so onto the next, I guess.”
- The Sandman: The sophomore season of the Neil Gaiman comic adaptation premiering in July 2025, will be its last. “The Sandman series has always been focused exclusively on Dream’s story, and back in 2022, when we looked at the remaining Dream material from the comics, we knew we only had enough story for one more season,” showrunner Allan Heinberg said in a January 2025 statement to Variety.
