Over 30 TV Shows Canceled Across US Networks in 2025

The year 2025 has seen a significant number of TV show cancellations across various genres and networks, reflecting challenges with ratings and budget constraints. Notable cancellations include crime dramas like CBS's S.W.A.T., which ended after eight seasons despite fan support, and Prodigal Son, which was canceled earlier in 2021 following a decline in viewership. Sci-fi series have also been affected, with shows such as Stargate Universe and HBO's Lovecraft Country ending prematurely, missing the chance to fully develop their promising narratives. Streaming platforms are not exempt, with Apple TV+ canceling shows like Mythic Quest after four seasons, though efforts are being made to provide proper conclusions to fans. Networks continue to make tough decisions based on performance metrics, leading to the removal of beloved titles across broadcast, cable, and streaming services. While some series have been renewed for additional seasons, the overall trend highlights a turbulent period for television content in the mid-2020s.
