What’s Coming Back & What’s Gone For Good?
Finding a favorite TV show is no easy task. You must like the plot and characters, and the show has to hook you with enough intrigue. It feels like as soon as you find the show you really love and decide to get invested, Network execs pull the plus and cancel the next season. The heartbreak of no longer seeing favorite characters is tough, and the cycle only repeats while you look for a new daily program.
Cozy up on the couch and enjoy these shows while you can because their current seasons will be their last! With every lost sitcom comes a bright new season to check out? Will you enjoy your favorite replacements or hold them against the networks for years to come? The first cancellation has been on the air for over twenty years! Who or what is going to replace this fiery host?
Canceling Conan
Even talk show hosts can be canceled. In the case of late-night star Conan O'Brien, his television slot being removed is actually a good thing. The host replaced David Letterman in 1993 and has been on the air for 28 years. He is already designing a new HBO series so watch out for exciting news!
Conan might feel like late-night royalty but this Netflix program focused on England's reigning queen and her royal family history. Why was this show getting canceled? Was real-life drama causing more friction off-screen than on?
The Crown
Originally rumored to have a sixth and final season, The Crown producers confirmed the fifth season would be the final installment. Fans have loved having a look back through the royal family and finding mistakes or creative flourishes the directors took.
At one point this comedian was the queen of daytime television. After a year of scandal and accusations, she is finally hanging up the sneakers and retiring from hosting. Take a look at where she started and how the world will remember Ellen Degeneres.
Canceled On & Off The Air: The Ellen Degeneres Show
At one time, Ellen was leading by example for success, but all it took was a couple of employees to come forward for the kingdom to crumble. After allegations of verbal and sexual abuse, Ellen’s show will be done after this final season. It was on air for 19 seasons.
The next sitcom focused on three mothers who were getting up to no good! Were they fighting crime or just narrowingly getting caught? Unfortunately, producers pulled the plug and won’t be bailing this show out.
Good Girls Gone Bad
Fans loved seeing Christina Hendricks back on television and tried to follow the storyline as three suburban moms started to get caught up in a life of crime and danger. While their families seemed to have no idea, these three main characters were all living dangerous secret lives, all for the good of their families.
The show had a four-season run and will not be producing any more episodes. In this next canceled show, the girls were always good. With relatable storylines and issues, fans will be sad to see this one go!
Grace & Frankie: Everyone’s Favorite Aunts
It was easy to enjoy the fun banter between Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, but after seven these two lovely ladies are throwing in the towel. This was a Netflix original programming and covered marriage and love, plus the joys of friendship, later in life.
This next series is written by the star, and she is the opposite of the show's title. As her career has skyrocketed she had to choose which projects to dedicate her time to. Unfortunately for fans, Issa Rae will be walking away from her prime-time cable spot.
Issa Rae Is Not Insecure
Issa Rae wrote and starred in this amazing HBO show for four seasons. The comedy and relatable situations from career to family all struck a chord with her audience. Lately, with more opportunities, Rae had to step back from this project and announced the fourth season would be it's last.
The talented celebrity has filmed two moves in the past year and also started working on a documentary. Even without ‘Insecure’ we’ll still be seeing a lot of her on our televisions. This show had a great run bringing back a blast from the past. Hopefully, audiences are ready to say goodbye after this season.
MacGyver
In 1985 people loved watching the MacGyver detective find new ways to get out of sticky situations. Now in 2021, audiences have been watching the grandson of the famous detective, Angus “Mac” MacGyver. After five great seasons, the show will not be renewed and the detective will disappear again.
MacGyver would have fit in perfectly with this particular police precinct. Catching the bad guys and their hilarious antics kept them on the air for eight seasons but it’s time for these boys in blue to retire the badge.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
The team of Brooklyn's best had hilarious one-liners and surprisingly tender moments. They kept audiences in stitches and also their streets safer. Actors in the series include Andy Samberg & Terry Crews, and there were plenty of celebrity guest appearances!
From the right side of the law to the wrong, this next showtime is up! This show highlights a lawyer down on his luck, with a client base everyone should be scared of. Keep your one phone call to help this lawyer get out of jail and renewed for another season!
Better Call Saul
This spin-off series has been on Netflix for six seasons. It stars Bob Odenkirk as Saul, a lawyer on the wrong side of the law. It came out in 2015 and connected storylines from the sensation ‘Breaking Bad’, and fans were quick to want more episodes.
While Saul was busy trying not to die, these two women accidentally connected over an intentional death. Fans have been wondering if there will be a third season and the answer will shock many!
Dead To Me - Final Season
Christina Appelgate and Linda Cardellini prove that grief is never easy, and it’s even harder when you're trying to hide the body! A chance friendship between two newly single widows takes audiences down a dark dramatic twist and turns!
A third season has been confirmed but it will be the show's final installment. This next show was canceled after its last season, but LGBTQ+ audiences everywhere will continue to hope for more visibility in Netflix programming.
We Want More Shows Like Feel Good
Mae Martin wrote this tender romantic comedy that focuses on figuring stuff out, and how no one really knows what they’re doing. You just want to feel good and hope for the best. Most of the content was based on Martin’s life and fans loved every second.
Unfortunately, this is the final season currently available on Netflix. This next canceled sitcom belongs to an umbrella of television shows. The NCIS branch covers several different locations but unfortunately, the party is done in New Orleans.
NCIS: New Orleans
NCIS: New Orleans came on television screens in 2014 after the success of NCIS: Los Angeles. Crime doesn’t stop but apparently, this show will stop solving the crimes and losing team members in battle. Fans originally thought they had already seen the last season of the show and were pleasantly surprised when they found out there would be the seventh season.
Even though this will be the final installment of NCIS: New Orleans, there are still plenty of crime-fighting themed shows for audiences to tune in. This next cancellation was all about escaping the law and hiding out in the woods. It looks like their time is finally up after three suspenseful seasons.
Gone For Good In The Ozarks
After three seasons this suspenseful drama is closing the curtains. Fans followed the family through all the ups and downs of relocations and money laundering. Jason Bateman and Laura Linney were excellent co-stars and we're excited to see what the cast will do next.
Similar to the Ozarks this next show demonstrated families living in the underbelly of crime. The plus side to this show was British accents and of course, Tom Hardy.
Peaky Blinders Reached The Peak
The name of this popular show was from an original Birmingham-based gang that would stitch razor blades into their hats. The cast of the show was packed with amazing actors including Tom Hardy and Anya Taylor-Joy. After five phenomenal seasons, the show has not been renewed for any more episodes.
After watching families fall into the depths of crime, this next reality show took us to a happier and more luxurious lifestyle. They’re everyone’s favorite television family but after twenty seasons they’re calling it quits. Hopefully, they'll find a way to spell canceled with "K" or else we won't believe it.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians
The famous Kardashian klan was one of the first reality television families. Starting in 2006 they have let cameras follow every second of their lives. We’ve seen marriages, break-ups, births, and many humorous moments.
The iconic family will be pursuing different ventures and still be relevant in pop culture for years to come. This next family was the opposite of the Kardashians in every way possible. Fans tuned in to see what would happen next, but after 11 seasons the Gallaghers are retiring.
Shameless
Originally based on a UK sitcom, the American version kept the family name of "Gallagher" and was able to complete the same amount of episodes. Both shows were finished after 11 seasons. The show followed the life of one family constantly battling against poverty and addiction.
William H. Macy did an amazing job playing the patriarchal role in the show, but he could never compare to Milo Ventimiglia in 'This Is Us'. Touching hearts across America, this sitcom will be saying farewell after this current season.
This Is Us Will Be In Our Hearts Forever
After six heart-wrenching seasons, the Pearson family will be saying goodbye. The show naturally ran its course and was rated one of the most popular drama series on NBC. Fans religiously tuned in every week to watch what would happen next and enjoyed the deep emotional content.
