29 Best TV Shows Canceled After One Season
We asked the BuzzFeed Community which canceled TV shows need to come back for at least one more season. Here's what they said: The Acolyte (2024) "People hated it because it was dark and made the Jedi look bad. Um, The Clone Wars (animated series) did that. The Jedi weren't perfect, which was the point of the show. Disney needs to finish what it started."—bmw1138 Sweet/Vicious (2016–2017) "That show was absolutely amazing and really empowered me. It's so unfair it was canceled." —kxllynxcxlx My Lady Jane (2024) "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 I Am Not Okay With This (2020) "I really miss I Am Not Okay With This. They left off on a pretty huge cliffhanger."—maybbeyesmaybbeno"That show was so good and deserved at least two seasons! They left it on kind of a cliffhanger. 😥"—furrywitch58 I Love That for You (2022) "I Love That for You stars Vanessa Bayer as a woman who lands her dream job as a QVC-like host, and as a last-ditch effort to keep from getting fired, she lies about having cancer. The whole thing is funny and dark and charming, and it's actually inspired by Bayer's real-life battle with childhood leukemia."—Spencer Althouse Ghosted (2017–2018) "Everything is right about the entire cast and storyline."—vinswe Dead Boy Detectives (2024) "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"Dead Boy Detectives is a brilliant show and absolutely deserves to top this list. It is everything: fun, funny, quirky, heartfelt, and brilliantly, unapologetically queer. If you haven't seen it yet, you absolutely should. It wraps up neatly at the end of the season, with all of the major character arcs completed. It's my favorite show in years, easily."—asidian"I was absolutely GUTTED when they cancelled Dead Boy Detectives. It's such a great, solid show. Amazing acting, writing, set design, costuming, music, the works. They peppered in so many hidden details that every rewatch is rewarding. And all of that without even mentioning the stellar representation. Real bonehead move by Netflix."—purpleskull745 Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020) "I loved it and was really disappointed when it got canceled."—peacefulmoon808 Archive 81 (2022) "It had a great story that unfortunately didn't get to finish."—bougielion556 My So-Called Life (1994) "Any of these lists that don't include My So-Called Life are just wrong."—surprisedsquid571 Almost Human (2013) Pitch (2016) "Pitch deserved more than 10 episodes. Plus, it ended with a cliffhanger!"—brandonm4b1db21b4 The Brink (2015) "The Brink deserved a second season and the writers set up the second season with the ending of the first season. It had a great cast, great story, and it was hilarious. I haven't heard why HBO decided to cancel that show. I've always wanted the writers of cancelled shows to provide an outline of how the rest of the show would have played out so the fans can get some closure."—hlane09 Kindred (2022) "I know it's a book too, but it was SUCH a good show — they left that poor man in the past and just canceled the show like wtf?!?!?"—j4287b3497 How to Die Alone (2024) "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 The Gates (2010) "It had one season, left on a cliffhanger, was set for Season 2, then it was axed. But man, it was a good show."—lyrablack Panic (2021) "What a great show. Plus, it has Ray Nicholson, the son of Jack Nicholson!! This show truly showed his depth into acting and out of his dad's shadow."—chrystinamecca A League of Their Own (2022) "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 Night Sky (2022) "One season and then it just left us hanging. Pissed me off so much! It was really frustrating that they didn't finish it. I don't want to invest my time in TV shows anymore..."—teri_dactyl Deadly Class (2019) "I love the characters and I was so sad when I heard it was canceled."—lazyzebra25 High Fidelity (2020) "It was so irritating to only have one season."—brookemonaco Spinning Out (2020) "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 Julie and the Phantoms (2020) "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 Firefly (2002) "Firefly definitely should have had more seasons. Excellent writing, great characters, a western in space show."—artisticsedan585 Reboot (2022) "Reboot is a comedy about a group of actors from a 2000s sitcom whose show is getting rebooted in the present day. Much like 30 Rock, what follows is a behind-the-scenes look at 'a show within a show,' along with its highly dysfunctional cast. It's topical, clever, and just plain good."—Spencer Althouse Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (2023) "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 The Society (2019) "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"I have watched The Society over and over. I even watch the YouTube music videos dedicated to Campbell and Elle and Harry, etc.. I'M SO VERY DISAPPOINTED with Netflix for taking this away from us. Stop screwing around already and renew our shows!!!"—fancybutterfly176"I think about this show like three times a week. The acting was good and the mystery was good, a lot better done than a lot of shows with this nothing. I was really excited to see how it wrapped up. Also, it was fascinatingly realistic(ish). Please, even just the script for Season 2."—velaris9173 Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000) "I was devastated when Freaks and Geeks was canceled, but that was probably the best thing that could have happened to the young actors on that show. Almost all of them have become super successful and it's unlikely that would have happened if the show had gone on for a long time. Secondly, I read an interview with Paul Feig once and his plans for the second season were AWFUL. So it's just as well that it ended when it did!"—nastymagazine42"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 And finally, AJ and the Queen (2020) "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 What shows do you think deserve another season? Let us know in the comments! And be sure to send this to any of your friends who (like me) will never get over The Society's cancellation. Do you love all things TV and movies?

"Night at the Museum" Reboot in Works
Yara Sameh A 'Night at the Museum' reimagining is in the works at 20th Century Studios, with 21 Laps Entertainment tapping Tripper Clancy to write the script. Plot details remain under wraps, but it's said the film will follow a fresh story at the museum with new characters. Shawn Levy and Dan Levine will produce for 21 Laps, with Emily Morris overseeing the project for the company. Clancy's previous credits as a writer include 'Stuber,' 'I Am Not Okay With This,' 'Die Hart,' and 'Die Hart 2: Die Harter.' The 'Night at the Museum' franchise, which premiered in 2006, has spawned three follow-ups: 'Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,' (2009), 'Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,' (2014) and the animated feature 'Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again' (2022). Levy directed the first three films, while Matt Danner helmed 'Kahmunrah.' Ben Stiller starred in the first three movies as museum night security guard Larry Daley, who discovers that his workplace's historical exhibits come alive at night.

7 shows Eurovision haters can watch tonight if they can't face the music
You can't get further from Eurovision than this (Picture: BBC/Left Bank Pictures/James Stack) It's the Eurovision finale tonight, and that means one thing. People across the world will be cracking out their feather boas, putting up the bunting, and getting ready for four hours of high-stakes singing action. Yet, while the Eurovision finale is a night of celebration for those who love a cheesy pop song or twenty, for those of us of a slightly grumpier persuasion, this evening could be a long one. So, to save you from hours of potential TV tedium, we've come up with a list of seven shows to watch if Eurovision really isn't for you. We've gone out of our way to include something for everyone. From hardboiled BBC crime thrillers to heartwrenching dramas and even a comedy or two, our TV buffet will delight all comers. Get personalised updates on all things Netflix Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. So what are you waiting for? Here's our list of TV shows to watch if you don't like Eurovision. It's a Sin It's a Sin is a powerful and moving show that critics and fans adored(Picture: Netflix) A captivating and emotional period piece about a group of friends living together in 1980s London, It's a Sin explores what it was like to be gay as the HIV/AIDs crisis started to grip Britain. Boasting an impressive 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, It's A Sin is not an easy watch. In fact, at times it'll break your heart into a million pieces and then stomp on the pieces until it's a fine powder before running the dust through an industrial shredder just to make sure the agony you feel is complete. Yet within the dark places this story explores, there are such jubilant highs and lovable characters that I promise you, the pain will be worth it. Even better, at just 3 hours and 45 minutes, you can finish it in less time than it takes to watch the Eurovision final. The Four Seasons Has Tina Fey ever let us down? (Credits: AP) It's the time of year when people start thinking about their summer holidays, and what better to get you in the mood for a break than a show about four couples getting away together. The Four Seasons follows a group of old college friends and their partners – played by an all-star cast including Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and Colman Domingo among others – on four ill-fated getaways. Think of it as a slightly lower-stakes version of The White Lotus with an even better sense of humour. Don't take our word for it alone, though; more than 12 million people have tuned in so far to watch it and propelled the show to the number one spot on the global Netflix charts. Is it any wonder the streaming service just renewed it for a second season? I Am Not Okay With This Sophia Lillis impressed fans with I Am Not Okay With This (Credits: Courtesy of Netflix) If you think Eurovision is a bit cheerful, then you might like I am Not Okay With This, a dark comedy about death, friendship, and telekinesis. Yes, you read that right. If you've never watched it, the show is based on the book by Charles Forsman and follows Sydney Novak (Sophia Lillis), a teenage girl who discovers she has vast psychokinetic abilities following the death of her father, and let's just say things get weirder from there. While it's more awkward than your average teenager, I Am Not Okay With This is a surprisingly affecting coming-of-age story that'll have you sobbing by the time the last episode credits roll. More than that, it has an impressive 86% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and if you need more convincing, then why not listen to @FreddyInSpace, who perhaps put it best when he wrote on X, 'Great characters. Great soundtrack. Great fun.' Ted Lasso 'Believe' (Credits: AP) If you're in the odd position of liking how sweet and saccharine Eurovision can be but don't like the actual contest (maybe you just hate singing?), then might we recommend Ted Lasso? Described by fans as 'one of the greatest television shows of all time', the series follows the titular Ted, an American football coach who moves to the UK to manage an English Premier League team. While Ted Lasso is an undoubtedly funny show, what made it such a hit was its sweet characters, optimistic spirit, and its underdog story. Honestly, it's just a very hard series to dislike but if you need any more convincing, it happens to star Eurovision alum Hannah Waddingham, that's got to be worth something. Andor To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page Eurovision is often praised for its ability to unite people. But do you know what arguably unites people more than song? Fighting fascism. Yes, if you need a break from people in silly costumes singing their lungs out, why not tune into Andor and watch people in even sillier costumes battling stormtroopers and other imperial agents. If you've somehow missed Andor, then allow us to explain the plot. Set in a galaxy far, far away, this Star Wars show follows Cassian Andor as he goes from a small-time smuggler to a hero in the Rebellion. Now critics and journos have spilt more than enough digital ink praising Andor – I may or may not have called it the best show of 2025 – so I won't labour the point, but I think @KegacyKillaHD on X put it best when he wrote 'Andor is the best Star Wars will ever be.' We Are Lady Parts Pop goes punk in We Are Lady parts (Picture: Parisa Taghizadeh/Peacock/WTTV L) Pop music might dominate the Eurovision stage, but on Channel 4, punk reigns supreme… or it does when We Are Lady Parts is on. Described by fans as 'funny and charming', this superb comedy follows the trials and tribulations of an all-female Muslim punk band as they try and get out of the garage and into an actual recording studio. Perhaps unsurprisingly, considering it's a show about punks, the show's pretty subversive and it'll make you think just as much as it makes you laugh. However, the real secret to the show's success – beyond a script sharper than a safety pin decorated jacket – it's its charming cast of anarchic bandmates. This City Is Ours To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page If you're after something a million miles away from the sequins and sparkles of Eurovision, I'd recommend This City Is Ours. Set in Liverpool's grim criminal underworld, the show follows two gangsters, Michael Kavanagh (James Nelson-Joyce) and Jamie Phelan (Jack McMullen), as they vie for control of their soon-to-retire boss's criminal empire. While This City Is Ours is undeniably a little cliched, it does little to diminish its entertainment value and maybe even enhances it. Arguably, though, the best thing in it is its two leading men, Nelson-Joyce and McMullen, both of whom bring a level of gritty authenticity to the pulpy proceedings. Viewers absolutely loved the show as well, so is it any wonder they were delighted when season 2 was announced. Got a story?

Netflix Fans Erupt in Anger Over Show Cancellations
Netflix fans are furious about the streamer's years of cancelled shows, and they're unloading about it on a social media thread. Fans expressed anger over the cancellations of a variety of shows on a Reddit thread that was first posted on May 8, 2025, and titled, "I will never forgive you for this 💔" People then listed the shows they are most upset that Netflix has cancelled over the years. Netflix has cancelled multiple shows in 2025 alone, but the Reddit thread wasn't limited to this year. Rather, it turns out that fans have long memories when it comes to their favorite shows being killed, especially if storylines are left hanging. The original poster on Reddit included a collage with photos from Netflix's cancelled shows, including 1899, Gypsy, I Am Not Okay With This, and First Kill. How does Netflix decide which shows to keep and which to cancel? Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos told Vulture, "It's 70 percent gut and 30 percent data.' According to Wired, Netflix has to take a show's cost into consideration. In January 2023, Wired reported that 1899 wasn't continuing "despite debuting at the end of 2022 to positive reviews and a place on the streamer's top 10 list." "When mysterious events change the course of an immigrant ship headed for New York in 1899, a mind-bending riddle unfolds for its bewildered passengers," the Netflix blurb for the show says. Fans offered up a variety of other shows that they're still angry at Netflix for cancelling. "Mindhunter!!" one Reddit user declared. "We lost Mindhunter but got a billion reality shows no one asked for," another wrote. Several others agreed that 1899 didn't deserve the axe. "1899 had so much potential," a fan of the show opined. "1899 was the only one of these I watched, and I was gutted when I finished it to find out there would be no more. It was a slow burner, so definitely not for everyone, but it was so unique and I really wanted to see where it would go," another person agreed. A fan explained, "I wish when shows like this get cancelled, the show runners would just come out and tell us what the end game, twist, secret, mystery was. Especially if after a time it's clear no one else is picking it up, just give us a summary, the cliff notes, whatever." Other Netflix shows receiving mentions on the thread included Spinning Out, The Society, Black Summer, Dead Boy Detectives, Lockwood & Co., Santa Clarita Diet, 1670, Nobody's Watching, Teenage Bounty Hunter, Archive 81, Inside Job, Marco Polo, Kaos, and OA.
