May These 2023 TV Shows Rest in Peace

The good news is that there’s more content on television and streaming services than ever before. The bad news is that there’s more content than ever before, which means, inevitably, some TV series have to be cut. It’s never nice when a show you’re attached to is cancelled, but it’s been happening all too frequently lately. Will we see the same number of TV shows cancelled in 2023 as we did in 2022?

Let’s take a look at the TV series that have been cancelled this year so far.

Which TV shows have been cancelled in 2023?

We’re almost at the end of the year, and TV shows have been cancelled left and right – particularly in the wake of the ongoing strike action in Hollywood.

The latest TV show casualties include the YA fantasy drama Shadow and Bone and Paramount+’s iCarly reboot.

They join these other TV shows on the 2023 cancellation list:

There’s no word on if or when these shows and movies will reappear on streaming in the future, which is a real shame.

Which TV shows did we lose in 2022?

Some of the most shocking TV cancellations from last year included HBO’s Westworld, which was axed even after promising a fifth and final season. The CW also cut a huge chunk of its programming, including its superhero shows DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman and Stargirl.

The streamers have been on a cancellation spree, too, with Netflix quietly ditching the likes of Space Force, Fate: The Winx Saga, The Imperfects and Warrior Nun. Even our sweet Paper Girls was not safe.
