When it comes to the TV shows canceled in 2026, most of them are longtime favorites that will be hard to see go. It’s hard enough to bid farewell to Outlander lovers Jamie and Claire, but how can we be expected to say goodbye to the entire dysfunctional found family of The Bear in the very same year?!
Of course, cancelations like those are a double-edged sword. On the one hand, fans are devastated that Hacks and The Chi are coming to an end, but at least their creators were able to tell their stories the way they always intended. Plus, fans of these shows are getting an ample amount of time to prepare themselves, unlike Tell Me Lies viewers who learned the show had ended the same day it’s series finale dropped on Hulu in February.
But even in that case, everything went according to showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer’s plan. So far, very few shows have been yanked off the air without closure, though it was shocking to learn the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot is no longer moving forward at Hulu.
Here are all the TV shows canceled in 2026—and whether or not they’re coming back for a final bow.
Amazon Prime Video
The Boys: The popular series about bad-guy superheroes will end after five seasons, which is exactly what creator Erik Kripke always planned. Prime Video drops the first two episodes of the final season on April 8, 2026.
Good Omens: On May 13, Prime Video will drop a 90-minute movie to conclude the fantasy saga in lieu of a third season. The switch was made after showrunner Neil Gaiman, who co-authored the original book, was accused of sexual assault by several women in July 2024, though more accusations have since come out. In February 2026, Gaiman described the accusations as a “smear campaign” that are “simply and completely untrue” in a statement, per The Los Angeles Times.
