Every TV show getting cancelled in 2026: Full list of series ending this year

Major shows like Outlander and The Boys are ending in 2026

A major shake-up is underway across television in 2026, with networks and streaming platforms saying goodbye to several fan-favorite shows. From long-running dramas to newer series that didn’t make the cut, cancellations this year span a wide range of genres and platforms.

Among the biggest titles wrapping up are Outlander, which concluded after eight seasons, and The Boys, set to end with its fifth and final season. Netflix is also closing chapters on major titles like The Witcher, Outer Banks, and Queer Eye.

Meanwhile, long-running staples such as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and reality hit Jersey Shore: Family Vacation are also preparing to bow out, marking the end of an era for broadcast and cable TV.

Here’s a full list of shows ending or cancelled in 2026:

• Tell Me Lies
• PBS News Weekend
• Watson
• DMV
• The Upshaws
• Outlander
• Jersey Shore: Family Vacation
• The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
• The Comeback
• The Way Home
• The Witcher
• Queer Eye
• Outer Banks
• Yellowjackets
• The Chi
• The Neighborhood
• Mayor of Kingstown
• Smiling Friends
• Dora
• Avatar: The Last Airbender
• The Boys
• Access Hollywood
• Palm Royale
• The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
• Good Omens

The reasons behind these cancellations vary widely, from declining viewership and rising production costs to creative decisions to end stories on a high note. While some shows are concluding naturally, others reflect the increasingly competitive and shifting landscape of modern television.

Even as these series exit, many franchises—like The Boys—are continuing through spin-offs, proving that while shows may end, their worlds often live on.
