Viewers were expected to see Kyle enjoy early days of married life and Marnie's motherhood journey after welcoming her third baby.
But now the cast have been told that bosses have changed their mind and it won't be going ahead.
A source said: 'They had started filming for them, and all the cast had been booked in for all the filming dates as they were filming their to-camera VTs.
"There were 10-15 filming dates in the diary across the whole cast.
"Then at the last minute, Paramount had a change of heart and decided they didn't want them anymore."
The move has angered some of the cast after they cleared their schedule to be on the show, only for it to be cancelled.
"The cast are all fuming as they were getting paid more money to do them, and they had all booked out their time," they continued.
"It's not gone down well at all.
"Now it looks like Kyle's wedding and Marnie's birth will just be wrapped up into the main series, rather than being two additional specials.'
The Sun have reached out to Paramount for comment.

We previously reported that bosses had hoped to build on the show's success by launching the spin-offs.
A show source said at the time: 'The first one will focus on Kyle's lavish wedding to his wife Vicky, which took place in Rome in June.
"It was initially going to feature in the main series itself, but there was so much drama from filming, producers couldn't squeeze it all into the regular run so they decided to build a special spin-off around it instead.
"There will also be a second spin off which will follow Marnie as she gives birth to her third child later this year.
"It's her first girl after having two sons and bosses wanted to capture all the magic and excitement as she and husband Casey welcome their little princess.'
Bosses kicked off their brand new spin-off strand, Geordie Stories, last year, with Charlotte Crosby being handed her own full-length spin-off show entitled, Charlotte's New Baby.
It followed her as she welcomed her second child, Pixi, with her partner Jake Ankers as well as continuing to grow her business and face the daily pressures of life in the public eye.
Nathan Henry also launched his own solo show, Nathan & Dad, which followed him as he dealt with his dad's cancer diagnosis.
The next full-length series of Geordie Shore is expected to launch in January 2026 with the spin-offs likely to follow soon after.
The cast jetted off to Portugal last month to film the 26th series of the show and there was plenty of drama and shenanigans when the cast reunited and two familiar faces made a shocking comeback.
Original show star Gaz Beadle made a surprise comeback after years of shunning big-money offers to make a return.
Aaron Chalmers also headed out to the villa in Lisbon as he returned to filming for the first time in three years.
The next series of the programme will also see James Tindale and Ricci Guarnaccio come face-to-face after being locked in a heated feud with Ricci telling The Sun he planned to "annihilate him" on the next series.
Abbie Holborn will also be introducing her TOWIE star boyfriend, Jack Rigden, to the group as he makes his reality TV comeback after eight years.
