It's never easy to say goodbye to beloved TV characters, and when a TV show ends or is cancelled it can be rough knowing that their stories are coming to an end. No matter how many new shows and movies come to Netflix, sometimes you just want to stick with the familiar.
Cancelled shows, or even ones that end on their own accord, is a fact of the TV landscape that we all know is coming sooner or later, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s any easier for fans of those shows to hear. If there’s any silver lining, it’s that when one show goes away there are a bevy of new TV shows in 2023 that you can start to dive into in their place.
We’ve amassed all of the shows that have either been cancelled or are set to air their final episodes in 2024, so be sure to mark your calendar so you don't miss anything.
Our TV shows cancelled or ending in 2024 article will be updated throughout the year as we receive new information.
