2024-25 Season:
Below are the statuses for all of the sci fi and fantasy shows from the current season along with the Cancellation/Renewal Score. The statuses that will be tracked are Cancelled, Ending, On the Bubble, Renewal Possible, Renewed, Returning, and Upcoming (see below for definitions). In addition, a Cancellation/Renewal Score will be tracked that compares the cancelled/ending shows vs. the shows that have been renewed so far. The shows tracked with this metric are the ones that have premiered as well as those that we know will premiere this season and have had their final year announced or have been renewed in advance. Genre entries designated as a mini-series will not be included in the tally. This score will provide a quick and easy way to track how genre entries are performing throughout the season. You can see the results from the prior season below at this link (and you can see earlier seasons at this link). And be sure to follow our Cancellation Watch posts throughout the week along with the Cancellation Watch Twitter Site for status updates, breaking news, and more.

I still don’t understand why the Lazuras Project got canceled by Sky. That show was great and popular. I really hope another network picks it up.
Reginald the Vampire has been announced as being renewed for a second season.
Thanks for the heads up. Got it covered now: https://www.cancelledscifi.com/2023/01/16/chucky-and-reginald-the-vampire-have-been-renewed-by-syfy/
Intergalactic (Sky One) was canceled a week ago.
Mentioned that here: https://www.cancelledscifi.com/2021/08/26/intergalactic-cancelled-by-sky-after-one-season/
Haven’t added it to this list yet because it has not had much exposure in the States, but will get it added.
#WynonnaEarp New series blew me away! It was everything I hoped for and more #wayhaughtwedding, #WayHaught. Please Syfy bring back Wynona Earp. I hope we can still see more season 5 of Wynonna Earp #FightForWynonna #bringwynonnahome. Let’s continue to fight #Earpers #earper4life.
Thank you #emilyandres #domprovostchackley #KatBarrel #MelanieScrofano #TimRozen #varumsaranga #GregLawson #DaniKind every cast member, producer, writer, production designer, costume designer and everyone else that helped make Wynonna Earp a success. We love you and will miss you. Thank you for inspiring and showing a vast spectrum of representation for us all to bare witness, seeing ourselves in your characters. You will live on in our hearts. ?♥️??️?????
Devs is a miniseries, so I wouldn’t list it as “Renewal Possible”. It has ended, and it has a closed, fitting ending without any cliffhanger.
It was billed as a mini-series, but there are currently talks that it could continue, thus the reason it is included here.
I see this happen too often, right now on Handmaid’s Tale, the story starts to drag way too much, same thing happened to Black Sails, a sht ton of it is happening with Arrow etc (not that it matters). Good thing I dl the shows show I can f-ing scroll past the pointless scenes.
Writers, in their desperation to prolong the main story, start to thin out the story in too many episodes, from 1st eps with lots of action and storytelling, most of the time we end up on season 2 or 3 with scenes eating up precious time with grimaces and stupid long looks, dumb talks, lots of walking scenes and pointless ambiance emmersers (I really don’t need to see how constipated Offred is or how enough she has it of it all, or to see that f-ing bedroom window 20 times an episode), forgetting that viewers stop watching and the guillotine gets prepped.
Good job Malozzi on Dark Matter! Good job Cuse on Colony. You managed to f it all up!
sy-fi and bbc the worst networks about screwing the public with half series with no ending ! ITS LIKE BUYING A BOOK WITH NO ENDING WHO DOES THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi , where can i find a list about older shows ? or is this the whole list ?
The first list on this page is the currently airing, returning, upcoming, and recently cancelled shows. Below that is a list of cancelled/ended shows going back to 2012. That’s all we have at the moment, but we may start adding older shows at a future date. If you are looking for a survey of cancelled shows throughout the past sixty years, check out Johnny Jay’s book Cancelled Sci Fi TV: 1949-2015 (http://amzn.to/25dmku9)
I hate it that The Returned got cancelled. Does anyone know if the French version got renewed?
The French original Les Revenants has produced two (highly acclaimed) seasons so far and I seem to recall hearing that a third is in the works, though I can’t seem to find confirmation on that. European shows tend to be built for shorter runs, but apparently that show could extend at least one more season. It aired on Sundance in the U.S. with the first season available on Blu-ray and DVD while seasons 1 and 2 are available on instant streaming.
I hope Damien gets renewed. I think it’s a great show with excellent actors. I was really disappointed to see The Returned get cancelled. I’ve been watching the French version, but I don’t know if it got renewed. Does anyone know?
Absolutely right to many good shows are being stopped over bad shows that people don’t really want to see
Yep its crazy with all the cancellations of alot of good shows, its almost like why watch anything because they all end quick, best thing to do is wait till they cancel and watch them later so you know how long you can watch them for or if you even want to start. So many great shows and they are gone……..
What about “Unforgettable”?
Haven’t heard of it. Please pass along any info if it is a sci fi / fantasy TV show airing in the States.
Jessica Jones and the Man in High Castle are both out now.
Thanks for the heads up. That page gets updated about once a week and it shows them as active now.
You say that Fear The Walking Dead is renewed but I can’t even find the 3rd episode on AMC on demand! What gives?
It was preempted due to the Labor Day holiday and resumes new episodes this coming week. You can keep up with the weekly schedule with our Prime Time Sci Fi TV listings: http://www.cancelledscifi.com/category/prime-time-sci-fi-tv/
shows i loved star crossed,the tomarrow people, intelligence,forever and alphas and ugh this seasons losses wayward pines is im sure the first of many that i liked but dont do well in the ratings im sure like me there are many who no longer watch regular tv instead i only get time to watch a few tv sites online its heartbreaking when all of my favorite shows keep getting cancelled im sure extant and lost ship are among the next ones cancelled heres hoping that more of my favorites dont hit the choppiung block of commercial sucess
I love all of my syfy shows they are good shows please do not cancel them I know I’m not alone there is an whole syfy. Genre of us out here and we faithfully watch these shows every season especially Haven and the librarian and a dew others I have voted on. Please keep them coming I don’t watch the general TV shows that a lot or most people watch so what’s wrong with you guys my name and my email are on here
They don’t care what we as individuals like.. As long as they make money is all that counts. If it doesn’t make dollars it doesn’t make sense.. So many shows I loved or recently started watching because I never heard of them found to be amazing only to see that it was cancelled after 1 season 1 episode etc.
What is wrong with people !? Good, enjoyable shows are being cancelled because too many people prefer brainless reality shows instead of series that make you think and wonder….
Yes its just as you say..”people prefer brainless reality shows” I never watch them, any of them..
Well im with you on this 100% , so many good shows have been or they will be canceled, alot of shows they just don’t give them a chance. I’m not to sure how reality shows are really making it since they are all staged and told how to act. Me i don’t care to watch the reality shows either, but it sucks we the people have to see good shows go down the drain.
Awesome list. Bookmarked.
No mention of Orphan Black. It is aired on BBCAmerica. Won a few awards this past year. Thx. D.
We typically do not track a Cancellation Alert for non-U.S. shows since we do not have quick access to their ratings numbers. We may make mention of how a show like Orphan Black is doing on BBC America, but it’s performance in its home country more heavily dictates whether it will get renewed. That said, the first season of this show performed well and if the second season (beginning on BBC America in April) holds onto those numbers, then it should get renewed for a third year. Of course British shows aren’t always designed to run for many years like U.S. shows, so that’s another factor that has to be taken into consideration as well.
