Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, pickup order to lack of renewal. Here we bid farewell to the canceled shows of 2026. April showers bring May flowers, and also May cancelations. This post will serve as living tribute to the TV we’re going to miss in 2027. And with NBCUniversal shuttering its entire syndication program, March became one of the deadlier months of 2026. Don’t cry because they’re over, smile because hopefully there are some sort of residuals in place for the workers.
