All the TV shows cancelled or ending in 2024

Dove Cameron, Ariana DeBose and Cecily Strong in Schmigadoon!.

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.

TV shows cancelled or ending in 2024

Cobra Kai

Cobra Kai brought a wave of nostalgia to Netflix. The spinoff of The Karate Kid film franchise quickly rose through the ranks to become a fan favorite on the platform. In January 2023, Netflix announced that the show was renewed for its sixth and final season.

How to watch Cobra Kai: The first five seasons of Cobra Kai are available to stream on Netflix now. There's currently no word on when season 6 will premiere. 

CSI: Vegas

CSI: Vegas brought the franchise back to where it all started. The highly anticipated series even saw the return of original series stars William Petersen, Jorja Fox and Marg Helgenberger. Like So Help Me Todd, CSI: Vegas was a strong performer on CBS but the network needed to make room for a packed 2024-2025 schedule, meaning the season 3 finale will also serve as a series finale. 

How to watch CSI: Vegas: All three seasons of CSI: Vegas are available on Paramount Plus. 

The Handmaid's Tale

The Handmaid's Tale is based on the dystopian world created by Margaret Atwood. The show will come to an end in season 6, hopefully bringing closure to June's (Elisabeth Moss) story. 

How to watch The Handmaid's Tale: The first five seasons of The Handmaid's Tale are available on Hulu. The premiere date for season 6 has not been announced yet but is projected to be in 2024. We'll add the date in as soon as it's available. 

Julia

In January 2024, Max decided to pass on a third season of Julia. The show was based on the life of famed celebrity chef Julia Child.

Poor Minx. After being cancelled at Max, the show was picked up at Starz, which aired its second season in 2023. Now the show about a woman's quest to create an erotic magazine for women is being cancelled again, so there will be no third season.

Our Flag Means Death, a comedy loosely based on the life of 18th century pirate Stede Bonnet, got the axe from Max in January 2024.

Quantum Leap

NBC's high profile reboot of beloved sci-fi property Quantum Leap lasted two seasons before getting swept away in the time stream. Sadly, the show had been on the bubble but thankfully the show's season 2 finale was written in a way that gave closure to the series without knowing if it would be the last season or not. 

How to watch Quantum Leap: Both seasons of Quantum Leap are available on Peacock. 

Rap Sh!t

In January 2024, Max announced it would not be moving forward with a third season of Rap Sh!t, the story of two high school friends who reunite and form a rap duo.

So Help Me Todd was a strong performer on CBS, but given the network's busy 2024-2025 schedule it was cancelled to make way for new shows. Marcia Gay Harden plays a defense attorney whose son, played by Skylar Astin, is a private detective hired by her firm. 

How to watch So Help Me Todd: So Help Me Todd will end with the season 2 finale this spring. The first and second seasons are available on Paramount Plus.
