TV Shows Canceled in 2025-2026: Which Aren’t Renewed for More Seasons?
2025 has been a tough year for TV fans as many favorite shows have faced the axe. One such casualty was the musical comedy Girls5eva, which was initially aired on Peacock in 2021. The show followed four women who were part of a girl group and reunited later in life to try and reclaim their musical success. Despite being renewed for a second season, Peacock decided not to continue with more seasons. Netflix stepped in to save the show for a third season, but unfortunately, it turned out to be the final one.
The main cast of Girls5eva including Sara Bareilles, Busy Philipps, Paula Pell, and Renée Elise Goldsberry, expressed their gratitude for the show and the opportunity to work together. Busy Philipps, in a heartfelt Instagram post, thanked everyone involved in the show and expressed her love for the experience and the bond formed with her co-stars.
Another show that met its end in 2025 was Apple TV+’s Sunny. Starring Rashida Jones, the show was based on the novel The Dark Manual and followed an American woman in Japan who receives a domestic robot after her family’s disappearance. Rashida Jones expressed disappointment about the show not gaining as much popularity as she had hoped, but praised Apple TV+ for their quality content.
Despite the cancellations, there are still shows that have been renewed for more seasons in 2025. Apple TV+ surprised viewers by renewing Bad Monkey after a cliffhanger ending. The show is based on Carl Hiaasen’s novel and follows former police detective Andrew on his adventures. Rashida Jones also hinted at the possibility of unanswered questions being addressed in the future of Sunny.
As fans mourn the loss of their favorite shows, it’s important to remember the impact these series had on viewers and the entertainment industry. The ups and downs of TV cancellations remind us of the ever-changing landscape of television and the importance of supporting the shows we love. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest TV shows and their fates in the coming seasons.
