With the streaming bubble bursting and entertainment companies retooling their vision for the future of television, it seems like every new day yields a polarizing series cancellation. From viewership stats to marketing pitfalls and budgetary concerns, TV series are seeing the plug pulled at a seemingly faster rate than ever before — in some cases, after production has been completed and even before they’ve had a chance to air.
For example, after outcry over recently canned series like “1899,” “First Kill” and “Warrior Nun,” Netflix’s new co-CEOS Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said they have never canceled a “successful show.” Platforms like AMC, Starz, Showtime and HBO Max have pulled shows despite having the majority of filming finished or nearly done so. And for Hulu, journalists and audiences raised disappointment following the cancellation of “Reboot.”
At the same time, some shows across networks and streamers are coming to a close; conversely, fan-favorites like “Abbott Elementary” or long-running staples like Fox Animation Domination’s slate are being greenlit for additional installments.
To help you keep it straight, we’ve broken down every TV show that’s renewed, canceled and ending in 2023. And we’ll be updating frequently, so check back often.

“1899” (Netflix) – Canceled
The death of “1899,” the paranormal German sci-fi period mystery series, was one of the first to rock the TV world this year. It was canceled despite climbing interest (having surpassed show creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Freise’s first show, 2017’s “Dark”), leading to fan outrage.

“Alaska Daily” (ABC) – Canceled
Hilary Swank will not be returning to ABC.

In her new job, she dives into the missing and murdered Indigenous women crisis in the state of Alaska.
“A League of Their Own” (Prime Video) – Renewed
The television version of Penny Marshall’s 1992 film has been renewed for a shortened second season.

“Big Sky” (ABC) – Canceled
Another one bites the dust from David E. Kelley. Each season of this ABC drama revolved around around another cops versus criminals tale in the state of Montana. “Big Sky” had it all — moody independent detectives mourning the same lover, sex rings, surprise twins, Hitchcock homages and even an evil Reba McEntire. But ultimately it wasn’t enough. The series was canceled after its third season.

Julia Cohen’s sexy spy thriller is not moving forward, along with “Big Sky” and “Alaska Daily.” The series followed a con man who finds himself in a complicated romantic relationship with an undercover member of the CIA. Starring Milo Ventimiglia and Catherine Haena Kim, the ambitious series never seemed to find its audience.
“Criminal Minds: Evolution” (Paramount+) – Renewed
The reboot of the long-running CBS procedural garnered a Season 2 order mid-January.

“The Diplomat” (Netflix) – Renewed
The Keri Russell-led political thriller was renewed for a second installment at Netflix.
“Doom Patrol” (HBO Max) – Ending
Alongside “Titans” (see below), HBO Max announced in late January that the series would conclude with Season 4. The decision to end both shows was not related to the change in leadership at DC Studios (co-led by James Gunn and Peter Safran), nor parent company Warner Bros. Discovery’s cost-cutting efforts.
“The Drew Barrymore Show” – Renewed
A daytime favorite and the fastest-growing talk show of its kind, “The Drew Barrymore Show” was renewed through the 2024 TV season last month.

“Grey’s Anatomy” (ABC) – Renewed
The beloved series made its return for Season 20 official on March 24, extending the show’s record as the longest-running medical drama in television history. Longtime writer and executive producer Meg Marinis is set to take over as showrunner as Krista Vernoff’s exit at the end of Season 19.

However, its showrunner Rachel Caris Love is hopeful the series will land elsewhere.
“Inside Job” (Netflix) – Canceled
The adult animated comedy show, from Shion Takeuchi (“Gravity Falls”) and about a young woman poised to take over a deep-state conglomerate secretly controlling the world, got an unsurprising (yet stinging) renewal reversal, which saw Netflix renege on its Season 2 commitment. The decision led to widespread fan outcries and is just one of many niche, revered shows on the platform to see the rug swept out from under it. Parts 1 and 2 of the first installment are still streaming on Netflix, though — be warned — the series ends on a cliffhanger.

“Kung Fu” (The CW) – Canceled
