Canceled TV Shows 2023: Which Of Your Fave Shows Got The Axe?

We’re only three months into 2023, but there’s a chance your favorite TV series has already gotten the axe. Last year was full of devastating TV cancellations, and judging by the cuts made during 2023’s first quarter, things don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

With streaming wars and ratings on the brain, major broadcast networks like ABC, FOX, CBS, and NBC, as well as platforms including Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Disney+, and more are carefully considering which shows are worthy of renewing. For TV lovers seeking a comprehensive list of canceled shows in 2023, we’ve got you covered. But brace yourself, it’s already fairly lengthy.

To clarify, the series listed below aren’t shows that are naturally ending in 2023 or going out on their own terms. These titles were actively canceled — and in some cases, even un-renewed — and will not be returning to screens, with an exception of one or two re-picked-up series. From long-running sitcoms like The Goldbergs and new comedies like Hulu’s Reboot to sci-fi mystery series like 1899, some truly beloved series got the boot.
