The television landscape is constantly evolving, and with it comes the unfortunate reality of show cancellations. 2024 has been a particularly tough year for fans, with several beloved series coming to an abrupt end. From critically acclaimed dramas to promising comedies, these cancellations have left audiences disappointed and yearning for more.
The Girls on the Bus
The TV show “The Girls on the Bus,” which is a Max series on the campaign trail featuring female journalists, has been canceled after only one season. The show that depicted the daily lives of these journalists and their coverage of political events has been canned, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter on May 24.
Walker
Another show that has been canceled is the CW’s “Walker,” which is a reboot of the show “Walker, Texas Ranger,” starring Jared Padalecki. The show’s producers and the network planned and agreed that after four seasons, the series would come to an end, and this was made official on May 21 by Variety.
Primo
The comedy series “Primo,” which was produced by Shea Serrano for Freevee, will not be back for the second season. However, the show was pulled off the air after one season, according to The Hollywood Reporter on May 21.
The Spencer Sisters
Even the Canadian procedural television series known as “The Spencer Sisters,” broadcast on The CW, has been canceled. This show about a mother-daughter detective team will not be back for a second season, as TVLine noted on May 21.
The Other Black Girl
Another series that has been dropped is Hulu’s “The Other Black Girl,” which is a workplace series based on a publishing house in New York. This news was posted on May 10 by the Hollywood Reporter, which put an end to the show’s brief stint.
Constellation
Apple TV+’s sci-fi series Constellation has been thrown out into space after its first season was abruptly axed. Deadline informed us on May 10 that it would be canceled, which means that the show and its storyline will not have a proper ending.
Housebroken
A recently aired animated series, “Housebroken,” that aired on Fox is about the lives of house pets and stray animals. It has been pulled after two seasons. It really did not manage to pull a large viewership and as such, was canceled, according to Fox on May 10.
Scavengers Reign
Another of Max’s fresh animated sci-fi shows, Scavengers Reign, has also been axed after one season. However, there is hope; recently, on May 10 Variety reported that the first season of this show will be available to stream on Netflix, and maybe Netflix could pick it up for a second season.
Not Dead Yet
The show Not Dead Yet, which airs on ABC, is a comedy series, and it seems that the show has also died a comedic death. It would not be coming back for a third season, as ABC announced on May 10. It was a pretty interesting show that was based on a rather peculiar concept but, to the creators’ disappointment, was not very popular and was stopped.
Extended Family
NBC has canceled the new comedy ‘Extended Family,’ starring Jon Cryer, Abigail Spencer, and Donald Faison, after one season. According to the deadline of May 7th, the show will not go on, thus bringing an early curtain call to the series.
