27 Canceled TV Shows That Are — Quite Literally — The Reason I Have Trust Issues
1. My Lady Jane (2024)
Number of seasons: 1
"Perfect (and highly rated) season. It's the historical retelling of a queen, it has strangers/enemies to lovers/forced marriage tropes, and shapeshifters exist! Need it renewed nowww!"
— grumpypumpkin44
2. Dead Boy Detectives (2024)
Number of seasons: 1
"This show had such good queer representation, and besides, was near-perfect with their casting, and the premise was interesting as well. I genuinely do not know what possessed Netflix to cancel it."
— thviony
" Dead Boy Detectives deserved more time. Fans have been waiting for this show since the original duo from Doom Patrol was recast. Lukas Gage as Cat King was also iconic and ICONIC queer supernatural representation."
— reneb4b1d76327"
3. Prodigal Son (2019–2021)
4. My Name Is Earl (2005–2009)
5. Witches of East End (2013–2014)
Number of seasons: 2
"Not only did it end on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger brought to life by the AMAZING Mädchen Amick, but it was also about hot and creepy monster sex. It had body-switching hotties, great spells, and believable magic. The closest thing to a Charmed substitute since Rose McGowan took over for Shannen Doherty!"

6. Mindhunter (2017–2019)
7. Santa Clarita Diet (2017–2019)
8. Archive 81 (2022)

Number of seasons: 2
"Hands down, Sense8 was a show that should not have been canceled. 100% needs a reboot."
— magicalsundae2723
10. Kindred (2022)
11. How to Die Alone (2024)
Number of seasons: 1
"A brand new one recently cancelled was How to Die Alone, created by and starring Natasha Rothwell. You might recognize her as Belinda in The White Lotus or Kelli on Insecure. Mel is a broke JFK airport employee who has never experienced love; a near-death accident inspires her to dream and live life again. It's warm, charming, and funny. I liked it a lot, watched it twice through already and am super bummed Hulu isn't picking it up."
— joandough
12. Don't Trust the B---- In Apartment 23 (2012–2014)
Number of seasons: 2
"It was a great sitcom. ABC did the show dirty by choosing to air episodes out of order, making some storylines hard to follow for viewers. It was funny and ahead of its time. It definitely has a cult following, but I think it would appeal to a bigger audience today. James Van Der Beek was comedy gold!"
— hiddenjester715
13. Chasing Life (2014–2015)
Number of seasons: 2
"Freeform canceled it on the cliffhanger of April, saying she wanted to stay in Italy and die of her leukemia instead of going home to Boston for the bone marrow transplant that could've saved her life! And the showrunners said they'd planned to save her if they'd been given another season — or literally anything to wrap the story up, but the network wouldn't budge!"
— leslies22
14. The Wilds (2020–2022)
Number of seasons: 2
"The series was canceled after two seasons, leaving us on a huge cliffhanger. I'm still hungry for more!"
— stylishvolcano73
"I binged it while recovering from abdominal surgery, and I'm still so frustrated by the cliffhanger."
— skydust
"I spent over a year analyzing it and writing theories, and I need to know if I was right."
— tv_obsessive_teen
15. A League of Their Own (2022)
Number of seasons: 1
"I was heartbroken when I heard it was canceled."
— ejt263
"First, Prime Video said it was renewed, then only for four episodes, and finally canceled. A real gut punch to a show with such heart and potential."
— buttercupbailey
16. High Fidelity (2020)
Hulu / Everett Collection
17. Spinning Out (2020)
Netflix / Everett Collection
Number of seasons: 1
"The plot was SO good. It was so refreshing for a teen drama to not fit the same high school cookie cutter setting. The acting was high quality, too. This show was perfectly cast, and all of the actors were so amazing. It was unreal! This show covered real issues that people deal with, like mental health. The final episode was set up to imply a second season... I really wish we had the opportunity to see it."
— wallows
18. Sweet/Vicious (2016–2017)
Mtv / ©MTV/Courtesy Everett Collection
Number of seasons: 1
"That show was absolutely amazing and really empowered me. It's so unfair it was canceled."
— kxllynxcxlx
19. Legends of Tomorrow
Number of seasons: 7
" Legends of Tomorrow deserved its goodbye season. All the other shows that ran longer than two seasons in the DCTV universe got one, and after seven seasons, and just going from strength to strength, they deserved one too."
— garebehr
20. Our Flag Means Death (2022–2023)
Courtesy HBO
Number of seasons: 2
" Our Flag Means Death should have been allowed its final season. It was such a groundbreaking show. I've never seen myself portrayed so clearly on screen."
— jennifers94
" Our Flag Means Death gave me so much. I have more friends and more respect and love for myself, to name a few. Its inclusive queer storylines, and representation of neurodivergence made me feel seen and respected for the first time in a long time. We deserve to hear our story told and to see what the final season will bring."
— lindsayplaizier
"I can't stress enough how much I want just one more season of Our Flag Means Death. It was written to be three seasons, and not only was the second season criminally shortened, affecting the quality, but then the third was unceremoniously cancelled. And it had the viewership!!!!"
— whitewoodart
21. Julie and the Phantoms (2020)
Number of seasons: 1
"The cliffhanger was too brutal to not give us more episodes. And the MUSIC we're missing out on without a second season? Unreal omg."
— denydenydeny
"This was when I REALLY started distancing myself from Netflix, and I've had trust issues ever since. 😭"
— lilqueenb19
"They left us with a cliffhanger, and I can't accept that."
— oddhouse282
22. Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (2023)
Number of seasons: 1
"I was one of the lucky TV watchers who got to see Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies before it was canceled and taken off of Paramount+, and ooof this one hurt. This show had truly some of the most incredible performances by up and coming actors, like I was absolutely floored by the amount of sheer talent this cast possessed. Like, these writers literally gave us MULTIPLE original songs every episode, and the production quality was so incredible that it was like watching mini music videos. Not only was it just a fun take on the movie we know so well, but this series felt so much more inclusive in ways the 1978 movie wasn't. The LGBTQ+ and BIPOC storylines gave the series so much more depth, and I'm so heartbroken those arcs won't get to be explored anymore."
— Lauren Garafano
"Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies most definitely needs a final season. That show was very entertaining, and the only television show using a musical theme drove the show. I love it, miss it, and want it back!!!"
— freshsealion58
23. Shadow and Bone (2021–2023)
Netflix / Everett Collection
24. The Society (2019)
Number of seasons: 1
"I swear I think about this cancelation at least twice a week. It's this Lord of the Flies -esque story but set in this fictional town in Connecticut, and I ate it up. One of the things that made me so angry was that the series DID get renewed for a second season, but the renewal got reversed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like, at this point I don't even care that the cast is significantly older and it wouldn't even make sense to do a second season. I NEED IT!!!! The Season 1 cliffhanger is truly one of those TV mysteries that haunts me — I just wanna know what happened! Let me at least read the Season 2 script!! Please!!!"
— Lauren Garafano
" The Society needs a Season 2. I think it's unfair how its renewal was reversed despite it having a much better storyline than some shows."
— savorygoat961
25. Pushing Daisies (2007–2009)
Number of seasons: 2
"It was such an interesting show. It was almost like a comic book brought to life. The dialogue was kind of rhythmic and pleasing to listen to. The set design was also really colorful and fun to look at — it was cheerful. The Season 2 finale felt rushed and sloppy. They could have done a Season 3. I was gutted when it got axed."
— aaronbenb
"I have long lamented the demise of Pushing Daisies. It was a victim of the 2007–2008 writers' strike. At the time, it aired most of Season 2, went out of production for nearly a year, and by the time it came back, any momentum it had was gone. The reason for the choppy and awkward final episode is that they had already taped the end of the season before they found out they were canceled, so they had to cobble together a resolution from the footage they had. I still have never watched the final three episodes because it made me so angry that they canceled it. It was fun, fresh, thoughtful, and the visuals were pleasing to behold."
— incorrigiblenightowl
"It was absolutely brilliant and Lee Pace and Kristin Chenoweth were perfection!"
— savana221
26. Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000)
Number of seasons: 1
"After only one season, the show didn't get the chance it deserved. It had classic lines and meme-able scenes, too. The show was set up for a second season it never got."
— tessap439fbd8db
"Does Lindsay follow the Grateful Dead? All of those actors were incredible, and it was such a fun vibe. Plus, I need to know what happens!"
— doribullerman
27. And finally, AJ and the Queen (2020)
Number of seasons: 1
"As soon as you get invested in the characters, the show ends on a cliffhanger. It was something that I've never seen before on TV. I loved it."
— sierram43e95c428
"I need to know if they go back on the road, or did the new club ever open. You can't just leave it with them hugging in the grass after AJ found out her mom didn't write the letters!"
— vikings_girl

KPop Demon Hunters Singer Drops A Blunt Response To Claims That The Movie's Songs Are AI-Made
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Ever since the 2025 Netflix release KPop Demon Hunters hit the streaming schedule in June, the Sony Pictures Animation movie has been getting the world talking and singing. With the animated movie being about a girl group whose songs are used as weapons against demons, you can't help but feel empowered while listening to the soundtrack and trying to hit those high notes. However, a social media user claimed that the movie's songs are AI-made, and that led to one of the film's singers dropping a blunt reply. The internet is obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters' music, with plenty of fans singing covers on social media and copying the choreography. And that popularity is abundantly clear when you look at Billboard and see "Golden" in the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 and Global 200. Even Stitch felt the need to dance to 'Soda Pop' at Disney World! Truly, there's no denying that Huntr/x and the Saja Boys were the fictional music groups we didn't know we needed. However, it appears one social media user felt the music from the 2025 movie release was too good to be true. While re-posting about 'Golden' being the first female K-pop song to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, @TheTitanBaddie claimed: Y'all realize this is one step towards AI completely taking over the music industry as well right? This is truly an outrageous assumption. There's no evidence to suggest that AI was used for KPop Demon Hunters' music. That's proven too by the impressive stellar talent brought on to provide Huntr/x's singing voices. Fortunately, the reactions underneath the post aren't fooled by the claim and know that three talented singers brought their A-game in the animated flick. Just like Huntr/x didn't let threats stand in their way, neither did one of Huntr/x's singers. REI AMI, who played the singing voice of Huntr/x rapper Zoey. She dropped a blunt response to the claim, stating: EJAE, AUDREY, NUNA AND I ARE NOT AI — ARE U BITCHES DUMB?! Ejae Kim, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami are certainly not AI. They are chart-topping Korean-American singers and songwriters. Even Ejae, who's the singing voice of Rumi, helped write the songs for KPop's 'Golden,' 'How It's Done,' and 'Your Idol,' which deserve a round of applause and all of the records they broke. That's not all Rei Ami had to say on the matter. The South Korean native also had a funny response to the accusations that she's AI: Y'all, I just found out I've been AI for 30 years. OMG, help. I'm just a code. Oopsie, oh noooooooooo, me so sad. Rei Ami doesn't have to prove anything to anyone that she's a real person. But if you're going to, you might as well deliver a tongue-in-cheek tweet that makes light of the absurdity of the situation. With KPop Demon Hunters already drawing attention with its wild Netflix records, there's been a lot of chatter about it, and sadly, that also includes bad rumors. Superb musical talent should never be questioned, and Rei Ami's cheeky comeback turns that baseless criticism into a moment of humor and power, just like Huntr/x would handle it. If you'd like to relive the chart-topping musical tunes from the animated fantasy flick, you can watch KPop Demon Hunters with a Netflix subscription. Solve the daily Crossword

KPop Demon Hunters Rei Ami Addresses AI Rumors
Everybody's rightfully obsessed with Sony's KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix. The movie's already making history as the iconic single "Golden" from the movie has reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, but not without a bit of controversy. So, KPop Demon Hunters is voiced by a star-studded, all-Korean cast with a visual style and music that pays homage to popular Korean music, anime, and culture. It's dope because it's like one long, action-packed music video. In the animated film, three present-day demon hunters are tasked with saving the world from an evil demon king — Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo). The best part is that they're not just demon hunters but also the super famous K-pop girl group Huntr/x. The singing voices of the animated characters are... ...K-pop singer-songwriter and record producer Ejae for Rumi... ...Korean-American R&B singer and rapper Audrey Nuna for Mira... ...and actor, singer-songwriter, and rapper Rei Ami for Zoey. The movie features several songs that have become instant hits with fans, but the song "Golden" which plays important part in the movie has crossed over into world as chart-topping hit making the virtual girl group HUNTR/X one of the first girl groups to hit #1 since Destiny's Child. It is the second track from an animated film to occupy the top of the Hot 100 this decade since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto. Other tracks from animated characters have charted before, including Alvin and the Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song" or the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar," and "Nobody Like U" from Pixar's Turning Red boy band 4*TOWN. The difference between these past groups is that they didn't have to defend themselves against "artificial intelligence" accusations. A viral tweet with over 12 million views said, "Y'all realize this is one step toward AI completely taking over the music industry as well right?" The tweet triggered a debate over whether or not the performance of "Golden" was AI-generated, prompting a response from one of the real-life artists behind the song. On Aug. 12, Rei Ami shared an X post, writing, "EJAE, AUDREY NUNA AND I ARE NOT AI — ARE U BITCHES DUMB?!" Like her character Zoey with the shin-kal knives, she responded one more time against the accusations, sarcastically writing, "Yall I just found out I've been AI for 30 years omg help I'm just a code oopsie oh noooooooooo me so sad." Thanks to fans, Kpop Demon Hunters has become Netflix's second most-streamed movie ever and gave both Huntr/x and the fictional boyband Saja Boys chart-topping songs. And these same loyal KPop Demon Hunters fans are hilariously ten-toes behind Rei Ami's playful clapback, and they're not pulling any punches. No seriously. Why is Rei Ami so hilarious?

Wednesday stars attend Australian event as major announcement for hit Netflix series revealed
Warning: Contains spoilers from Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 The stars of Netflix's hit series Wednesday descended on Sydney's Cockatoo Island on Thursday afternoon – and the overcast Sydney weather was a perfect backdrop for the event. Advertisement Clad in her character's signature dark attire, titular star Jenna Ortega put on a haunting appearance alongside Emma Myers, who plays her cheerful best friend Enid Sinclair, as they attended an 'Outcast Assembly' on the famed island to promote Season 2 of the gothic series. Joining them at the event was the master of the macabre himself, Tim Burton, who is the director and executive producer of the show. 'I love the character,' the Oscar nominee told the crowd about the iconic Wednesday Addams. 'I agree with everything she says, everything she feels about family, school, psychiatry, and society, so that's why we're here in this beautiful place. It's something I really identify with.' 6 Emma Myers (left) and Jenna Ortega attend the 'Wednesday' S2, Part 2 'Outcast Assembly' on Cockatoo Island on August 14, 2025, in Sydney, Australia. Getty Images for Netflix Advertisement The trio is in Sydney for the final stop on the global Doom Tour, and is also joined by series creator/showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The group has visited England, Poland, Italy, France, Romania, the US, Canada, and South Korea. But they left a major announcement for their last and final stop in Sydney. In dramatic scenes, actress Gwendoline Christie emerged from behind a giant moon suspended from the warehouse ceiling to reveal in a world-exclusive announcement that her character, Nevermore Academy headmistress Larissa Weems, will be brought back from the dead in Season 2. 6 In dramatic scenes, actress Gwendoline Christie emerged from behind a giant moon suspended from the warehouse ceiling to reveal that her character, Larissa Weems, will be brought back in Season 2. Getty Images for Netflix Advertisement 'Did you really think Nevermore would let me go so easily?' her voice echoed in the warehouse. 'I was never gone. You just stopped looking.' Fans would know that Weems, a shapeshifter, was the former roommate of Wednesday's mom, Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones), when they were at school and would later become the principal of Nevermore Academy, where Wednesday and Enid attend. 6 'Did you really think Nevermore would let me go so easily?' her voice echoed in the warehouse. 'I was never gone. You just stopped looking.' Getty Images for Netflix Advertisement Weems was a major character on Season 1, and many fans were left shocked when she was tragically poisoned with a laced syringe by the deranged Laurel Gates, aka Marilyn Thornhill, aka Christina Ricci. 'This season we'll see a difference of Larissa Weems' suffering,' Christie later told the crowd, which was filled with superfans dressed in the purple Nevermore uniforms. 'It's such an honor,' Ortega said from the stage when asked about being back in black as Wednesday. 'Oftentimes, you don't get to revisit your character, so to be able to do it with someone like Wednesday. I feel very, very lucky.' 6 'It's such an honor,' Ortega said from the stage when asked about being back in black as Wednesday.

Season 2 sees Wednesday return to Nevermore Academy with her razor-sharp remarks and deadpan demeanour. Armed with her sharp detective skills, she soon finds herself obsessing over a new supernatural mystery that sees her get up to all sorts of kooky mayhem. Advertisement Despite almost a three-year break between Seasons 1 and 2, Netflix numbers show that there was a zero percent drop in viewership when Season 2: Part 1 premiered on August 6. 6 'This season we'll see a different of Larissa Weems' suffering,' Christie (second from left) later told the crowd, which was filled with superfans dressed in the purple Nevermore uniforms. Getty Images for Netflix According to Forbes, Wednesday got 50 million views in its first five days of streaming, which puts it on par with the Season 1 debut in November 2022. It's worth noting that Season 1 premiered with all eight episodes in one drop, whereas Season 2 premiered with only the first four episodes, with Part 2 premiering on Netflix on September 3. Therefore, expect another viewership spike next month. Advertisement Wednesday Season 2: Part 1 is now streaming only on Netflix. Wednesday Season 2: Part 2 will be available on September 3
