These Summer Shows Are Cancelled (2019)
AMERICAN WOMAN (Paramount)
The Alicia Silverstone-starring, 1970s-set dramedy was cancelled in September, not two weeks after its freshman finale aired. Season 1 averaged fewer than 400,000 weekly viewers and barely a 0.1 demo rating.
ANIMALS (HBO)
HBO’s animated adult comedy was cancelled after its third season, which last summer averaged just 184,000 viewers.
CODE BLACK (CBS)
The medical drama was first cancelled a year ago, early into Season 3, and then double-secret officially cancelled in November, after CBS took a long, second look at the show’s fate. Last summer’s run averaged a 0.7 rating, down 28 percent in the demo from its sophomore season.
DETROITERS (Comedy Central)
The Michigan-set comedy was cancelled in December, four months after its Season 2 finale aired.
DIETLAND (AMC)
The Julianna Margulies-led drama was cancelled in September, two months after the conclusion of its freshman season (which averaged 433,000 viewers and a 0.1 demo rating). “Dietland garnered critical acclaim and passionate fans, but unfortunately we will not be able to continue with a second season,” AMC said in a statement.
FACE OFF (Syfy)
Syfy announced last May, ahead of Season 13 aka Battle Royale, that the competition series’ Summer 2018 edition would be its last.
FRIENDS FROM COLLEGE (Netflix)
The Netflix comedy, which debuted during the summer of 2017, was cancelled in February after two seasons — and on the heels of a year-long stretch during which the streaming giant snuffed two dozen of its shows.
THE FOSTERS (Freeform)
The family drama wrapped its five-season run last June, with a three-part event that set the stage for its offshoot, Good Trouble.
THE FOUR: BATTLE FOR STARDOM (Fox)
The reality competition last summer averaged 2.7 million total viewers and a 0.8 demo rating, down 25 and 33 percent from its freshman cycle. At this time, any Season 3 is not on Fox’s schedule.
HUMANS (AMC)
The sci-fi drama was officially cancelled on May 20, more than 10 months after its final episode aired. In a statement, creators Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley noted, “We know we left some threads hanging. That was the way we always wrote the show. Maybe one day we’ll get a chance to pick them back up. If there’s anyone out there with a few million quid and an interest in AI stories, we’re all ears. DM us Elon.”
I’M DYING UP HERE (Showtime)
Showtime’s look at the 1970s comedy scene was cancelled in September, two months after its sophomore season averaged just 178,000 total viewers in Live+Same Day numbers.
THE LAST SHIP (TNT)
TNT announced last May that the action-thriller’s summer 2018 run would mark its final mission — confirming a rumor that first began circulating back in September 2017, when cast member Travis Van Winkle announced “a series wrap” after filming Seasons 4 and 5 back-to-back, in a quickly deleted Instagram post.
LOVE CONNECTION (Fox)
The Andy Cohen-hosted dating-show update was cancelled in February after two summertime runs, the latter of which drew an anemic 1.82 million viewers and a 0.5 demo rating.
LOVE IS___ (OWN)
Five months after being picked up for Season 2, the relationship drama was in fact cancelled, in the wake of EP Salim Akil facing a lawsuit from a woman claiming he abused her during an alleged 10-year affair.
MARLON (NBC)
The Marlon Wayans-headlined family sitcom was cancelled in December, five months after its sophomore run averaged roughly 2.6 million viewers and a 0.6 demo rating, down sharply from Season 1’s 4.3 mil and 1.1.
MARVEL’S ANYTHING BUT JESSICA JONES (Netflix)
The only Street Hero still for hire is Jessica Jones — but after her third season (dropping June 14), Netflix will be 100-percent out of the Marvel business.
MIDNIGHT, TEXAS (NBC)
Following its initial summer 2017 run, the supernatural drama went on hiatus for over a year before getting an in-season showcase for Season 2. That nine-episode season was steady, but low, in the ratings. Not longer after, the Peacock pulled the plug.
OUTCAST (Cinemax)
Season 2 — which was greenlit before the Robert Kirkman horror drama even debuted — averaged 110,000 viewers and a 0.04 demo rating last summer with its Stateside run, down sharply from its meh freshman season. Official cancellation came in December.
THE PROPOSAL (ABC)
Given its so-so Season 1 numbers (and in the wake of some controversy), TVLine has it on very good authority that the Mike Fleiss (The Bachelor)-created “dating” series won’t get a second date with the network.
REVERIE (NBC)
The Sarah Shahi-led sci-fi series averaged 0.44 rating with its freshman run, ranking third out of last summer’s five scripted network series. Come November, NBC confirmed the non-virtual reality that it would not be back.
SALVATION (CBS)
We shall never know what Samson was. Averaging a 0.33 demo rating in Season 2, the sci-fi drama was last summer’s lowest-rated scripted broadcast series. And among all CBS fare, it only topped something called Pink Collar Crimes.
SHADES OF BLUE (NBC)
NBC announced ahead of Season 3 that the cop drama’s summer 2018 run would be its last. “We crafted a poetic three-season arc on how [Harlee]’s journey ends, which is true redemption,” EP and star Jennifer Lopez said. “The way only Harlee could have done it — the hard way, the road less traveled.”
SHOOTER (USA Network)
Season 3 averaged 730,000 total viewers and under a 0.2 demo rating, down sharply from its truncated-by-injury sophomore run. In August, with five episodes still left in the chamber, USA announced that it would not be reloading the Ryan Phillippe starrer.
TAKE TWO (ABC)
The Rachel Bilson/Eddie Cibrian two-hander was cancelled by ABC in September, two months after its freshman run averaged 2.7 million viewers and a 0.42 demo rating. Talk of it being shopped elsewhere ultimately proved fruitless.
12 MONKEYS (Syfy)
Back in March 2017, fans of the time-travel drama got two heaps of bad news: Season 3 would be burned off across three weekend nights, while Season 4 (airing in summer 2018) would be 12 Monkeys‘ last.
WRECKED (TBS)
In April, seven months after the Lost-inspired spoof’s Season 3 finale aired, TVLine confirmed that there would be no Season 4.
YOUNG & HUNGRY (Freeform)
In March 2018, Freeform announced that the sitcom’s Summer 2018 run of 10 episodes would mark its swan song. Talk of a “wrap-up movie” was snuffed last August.
