Most Surprising TV Show Cancellations of 2025, From Netflix to CBS
Fans are mourning a string of surprise TV show cancellations from Netflix to CBS. In some cases, fans are rallying to save the shows. The unexpected cancellations came for a variety of reasons, including financial. Here are some of the most surprising TV show cancellations of 2025:The Recruit's cancellation by Netflix surprised fans. The Mirror called the cancellation of The Recruit "among the most shocking cancellations" of 2025, saying that it "quickly earned a dedicated following." According to The Mirror, many fans were also disappointed when Netflix cut the show Territory after just one season. & Two FBI shows being cancelled by CBS surprised some observers. According to CinemaBlend, the shows "were going strong on CBS" going into 2025. Thus, according to CinemBlend, "it came as quite a surprise" when CBS cancelled FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: there's the Disney+ original Andor, which was cancelled even though it was Emmy-award nominated. According to People, Andor was originally supposed to be five seasons, but the "scale" of the show proved difficult to continue. On top of it, Disney+ cancelled a show that was soaring in the ratings, The cancelling Found was labeled a "surprise cancellation" by Collider, which reported that fans were rallying to try to save Neighborhood's cancellation was called a "surprise" by Us Weekly. The show was cancelled by CBS. 'On this particular show, we had to go through a number of adversities that were different from just a TV show,' Cedric the Entertainer told also surprised some fans when it cancelled the adult animation series Solar Equalizer being cancelled by CBS surprised fans, according to GeekSided. It was believed that CBS was "in negotiations" to bring back the show - until it wasn' to GeekSided, fans were shocked when Fox decided not to renew its new show, Rescue HI-Surf. The show was selected as the winner of TVLine's annual Save Our Show poll. According to GeekSided, "Heading into the 2024-25 season, it was clear Fox was betting big on Rescue HI-Surf." But then that Irrational had the highest ratings of the five shows that NBC cancelled in May, but that didn't save the show. Actress Karen David wrote on Instagram, 'I've been at this long enough to know that this is all part of the journey and whether we like it or not, great shows are not immune to cancellation."S.W.A.T. was cancelled before, but it was saved by fans, so the show returned. However, then CBS announced that the show was ending in May after eight seasons, according to Good Housekeeping. Actor Shemar Moore voiced his disappointment on Instagram, saying in a video in March, "I said I wasn't going to do this, but I can't help it. I'm gonna do it because it's who I am. It's how my mama raised me. Own your dignity, tell the truth. She can't stand a liar, so I ain't lying, and I'm telling the truth. S.W.A.T., here we are, season eight, three weeks away from the finale, we are canceled again. It sucks. It's sad."According to What's on Netflix, Black Mirror Bandersnatch was "the most significant swing Netflix ever did with its interactive technology." So it's perhaps surprising that show is biting the dust. There's "an active community on Discord is seeking to preserve the interactive technology," What's on Netflix reported, but the streaming giant removed the show on May cancelled The Conners, which was a spinoff of Roseanne.

Rescue HI-Surf Cancellation Explained: ‘We Went All-In,' Says Fox Exec, But It ‘Didn't Catch On Like We Had Hoped'
It was still waters on the viewership front, and not the expensive of filming on location in Hawai'i, that caused Rescue HI-Surf to wipeout after just one season. Season 1 of Rescue HI-Surf averaged 2.8 million total viewers (with delayed playback), ranking No. 4 out of the seven dramas Fox aired this TV season (besting Accused, Alert: MPU and The Cleaning Lady). The island drama delivered 65% audience retention out of lead-in Lone Star, and was this season's 10th-most watched new broadcast drama (out of 12).

'We love our partnership with John Wells and Warner Brothers [Television], and hope to do more with John and are doing more with Warner Brothers,' Thorn made clear, 'but [Rescue HI-Surf] just didn't resonate with our audience the way we needed to be able to return it.'

Masked Singer Shocker: Lucky Duck Revealed! Did You Guess Correctly?
Well, that was unexpected. The Masked Singer on Wednesday wrapped the Season 13 semifinals with a jaw-dropping — actually, make that beak-dropping — reveal. That's right, feathered friends and frenemies, we finally know the identity of the show's duckbilled detective. More from TVLine Fox's Rescue HI-Surf Is the Show You Most Want to See Renewed!

But the results of that battle became totally irrelevant when Lucky Duck stormed the stage… with the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell! 'I've been breaking into this competition all season long, and I've decided to dust off this old lucky bell, because tonight… both of you are safe!' he revealed. 'I'm not done,' Lucky Duck added.

The Voice Recap: Night 1 of the Playoffs Eliminates Half a Dozen Singers — Including Two Standouts
It was decision time for Kelsea Ballerini and Adam Levine in Monday's episode of The Voice as Season 27's Playoffs forced them to cut their five-member teams down to two contestants apiece. (John Legend and Michael Bublé land in the hot seat next Monday.) After hearing the performances, I thought that the coaches' decisions would be pretty cut-and-dry. But no, as always, they surprised me. (It that a contractual obligation?) Read on, and we'll discuss how it all went down. TEAM KELSEA BALLERINI More from TVLine Exiting Chicago Fire Star Jake Lockett Will 'Miss the Hell Out Of' NBC Series Fox's Rescue HI-Surf Is the Show You Most Want to See Renewed! See Complete TVLine Poll Results In Dark Winds Season Finale, Leaphorn Once Again Got His Man, But Is Left to Ponder All He Has Lost Iris Herrera, 'White Horse' (Grade: B+) | On Chris Stapleton's hit, Iris served rock-star realness, turning her rasp up to 11 and looking as comfortable on stage as a guest artist rather a contestant singing for her life. She got a little messy at the end, but even that worked; rock-'n'-roll's supposed to be out of control, right? Jaelen Johnston, 'If You're Reading This' (Grade: A-) | Though I was pretty salty when Kelsea kept Jaelen over Hailey Wright in the Knockouts, his take on Tim McGraw's heart-tugger made me altogether regret being so crankypants. His performance was stunning — nuanced, emotional, damn near perfect. Alanna Lynise, 'Nobody Gets Me' (Grade: A) | Damn! Alanna navigated SZA's hella-complicated ballad with just incredible finesse. Her vocal dipped and soared, and every step of the way, she looked utterly engaged. 'I believe in you so much,' her coach exclaimed afterward. After that performance, how could anyone not? Tinika Wyatt, 'I Can Only Imagine' (Grade: A+) | 'Pristine' is the best word I can think of to describe Tinika's MercyMe cover. She started off so note-perfect, you could've convinced me that she was AI-generated. But as the song grew and she unleashed her passion, I was knocked all the way out by the emotion her powerful pipes packed. Darius J, 'Hey Ya!' (Grade: B-) | Before hitting the stage, Darius said that he wanted to milk every moment for maximum fun — and he definitely showed us a good time. The guy is a party in a wide-brimmed hat. But vocally speaking, and it pains me to say it, he was shown up by the rest of Kelsea's team. Advanced to the Semi-Finals | Iris Herrera, Alanna Lynise Eliminated | Jaelen Johnston, Tinika Wyatt, Darius J TEAM ADAM LEVINE Lucia Flores-Wiseman, 'In My Life' (Grade: A+) | From note No. 1, I was like, 'Oh my God!' Lucia was so very much in her element that her vocal went down like the sweetest glass of lemonade you've ever heard. If that makes any sense. Even if it doesn't, the takeaway here is that her performance was beyond flawless. Conor James, 'Pink Pony Club' (Grade: B-) | I was really taken with the light touch that Conor brought to the opening lines of Chappell Roan's smash but couldn't help noticing that there was no light in his eyes, no intention. And as song got bigger and bigger, I felt like Conor's vocal became less and less impressive. Kolby Cordell, 'Finesse' (Grade: B-) | Man, I really wanted to love Kolby's Bruno Mars cover. But it was a mixed bag. On one hand, he brought a lot of energy to the stage. On the other, his vocal went back and forth from genuinely exciting to unfortunately disappointing. Perhaps a case of good singer, questionable song selection? Ethan Eckenroad, 'The Night We Met' (Grade: A) | Like Lucia, Ethan is a total original. On Lord Huron's ballad, he made a compelling case for why he should advance (even if, as John Legend noted, he 'meandered' on stage). Every note that he sang felt like it was soaked through with feeling, whether he sang it in a whisper or all but roared. Britton Moore, 'Somewhere Only We Know' (Grade: B) | Britton acquitted himself nicely on his Keane cover but also also teed up a reminder that he is very young and still has some room to grow. (Poor kid looked scared s—tless.) He could become the next Shawn Mendes, he just isn't quite there yet. Advanced to the Semi-Finals | Lucia Flores-Wiseman, Kolby Cordell Eliminated | Conor James, Ethan Eckenroad, Britton Moore So, how are we feeling about Kelsea and Adam's decisions? I was shocked that Kelsea cut Jaelen; not only had he given a strong performance, but he was the last country artist in the competition. Seemed like a questionable strategy to me. And what the hell else could Tinika have done to impress her coach? She brought the house down! As for Adam, as enamored of Ethan as he was, I was stunned that he got the chop — and for Kolby? He'd given an energetic performance, for sure, and he's a likable fella, but is he The Voice? Eh, not so sure about that. Vote for your favorite performance of the night below, then hit the comments with your reactions to the coaches' picks.
