Cancellations

Word is out this evening that Chicago Justice has been cancelled after its first season. The mid-season legal drama premiered in March as the fourth and most-recent entry in the hit Chicago franchise, but soft ratings on Sunday nights did not make a compelling case for a pickup. The fourth entry in the franchise, Chicago Justice could have been a case of one too many shows under the same umbrella. Its viewership, while not terrible, was the lowest among its franchise-mates. The remaining th

It is being reported that Emerald City has been cancelled after one season. NBC's reimagining of The Wizard of Oz premiered as a mid-season entry earlier this year with a 10-episode run. Unfortunately its time on the air drew little fanfare, and its ratings reflected that in its Friday night time slot. Emerald City took a dark, reimagined look at the Land of Oz, where a 20-year-old Dorothy Gale is swept up into a mystical land far removed from her own. This unsuspecting young woman is force

Three episodes ahead of its first-season finale, NBC has pulled Powerless from its schedule effective immediately. The freshman comedy premiered earlier this year as a mid-season entry but through nine episodes has failed to attract a sizeable audience in its Thursday night time slot. Set in the universe of DC Comics, Powerless follows a group of employees at Wayne Security in Charm City, which is home to a number of superheroes and villains - as well as citizens who are fed up of dealing w

It is being reported that NBC has cancelled Reverie after one season. The drama premiered in May with a 10-episode summer run that drew generally-positive reviews, though it ultimately failed to make a splash in the ratings. The series starred Sarah Shahi as Mara Kint, a human behavior expert who takes a new role saving people who have lost themselves in a high-tech virtual reality simulation that allows them to live their dreams.

Taken's days appear to numbered, as NBC has removed all upcoming episodes of the show from its regular schedule, effective immediately. The move comes 11 episodes into the movie-based drama's sophomore run. Acting as a prequel to the film franchise of the same name, Taken tells the origin story of a younger and hungrier Bryan Mills. Working to overcome a devastating personal tragedy, the former Green Beret finds his way into a career as a CIA operative, allowing him to utilize his very part

While many saw this coming, it is now official: NBC has cancelled The Blacklist: Redemption after one season. The freshman drama premiered earlier this year as a spin-off of The Blacklist, but struggled to find a substantial audience over the course of its eight-episode run. Spin-offs of successful shows are common, with networks attempting to appeal to the existing audience of an already-popular series. But perhaps the timing for a Blacklist spin-off was a little late, as the once-breakout

It is being reported that NBC has officially cancelled The Braveafter its 13-episode first season. The writing had already been on the wall since November, when the network opted not to order more episodes for the military drama's freshman run. But that doesn't make today's news any easier for the show's loyal fans who were holding out hope that the show might continue. The hour-long series premiered last September and was a decent performer on Monday nights in the 10:00pm time slot. Unfort

It is being reported that The Enemy Within has been cancelled after its first season. The thriller premiered in February for a 13-episode run that concluded with its now-series finale on May 20. The show got off to a decent start in the ratings over its first few episodes, but viewers seemed to lose interest as the weeks wore on. Reception from critics was generally mixed, with no real glowing praise to garner additional buzz. The Enemy Within followed brilliant former CIA operative Er

It is being reported that NBC has cancelled Timeless after its first season. This is sad news for fans of the show, as its final episode in February left with a cliffhanger that will now go unanswered. The action drama premiered last fall as part of the network's fall line-up with a lot of momentum behind it. The show was created by two veteran producers, had a high profile time slot airing after The Voice on Monday nights, was heavily promoted, and received high critical praise from early

It's a sad day for the #Clockblockers out there, as NBC has once again cancelled Timeless. The move marks the second straight year that the network has pulled the plug on the series, only this time there will be no reversal of its decision. Fans of the action drama had been holding out hope since last month's finale that a third season may be in the cards. And like last year, the show ended on another major cliffhanger that might not ever be resolved. I say 'might' because there have report

It is being reported that NBC has officially pulled the plug on Aquarius after two seasons. The David Duchovny drama, in which he played a cop on the trail of Charles Manson, had a tough go of things throughout its two-summer run on the network. Despite a promising start last year, the show never managed to find the mass appeal it was looking for. Aquarius premiered solidly for NBC back in the summer of 2015 and was rewarded with an early Season 2 renewal. When ratings tapered off, it was q

NBC has cancelled Revolution, opting to pull the plug on the sophomore series after two seasons. The show's Season 2 ratings have been lackluster, and far below its Season 1 numbers. Revolution got off to a strong start when it first premiered in 2012, debuting with a strong 4.1 rating in the adults 18-49 demo and staying at a 2.6 or above for the first half of the season. Viewership dipped for the back half but stayed at a respectable number to warrant a renewal. The show's second season has

It is being reported that NBC has cancelled Sean Saves The World, stopping all production on the show today.

A total of 18 episodes were ordered by the network, 14 of which have already been shot.

Though always planned as a limited series, NBC confirmed today that Heroes Reborn will be ending its run after one season. The Tim Kring superhero drama, which acted as a revival of the once-popular, previously-cancelled Heroes, premiered as part of the network's 2015 fall schedule for a 13-episode stint. The reboot didn't do much to renew viewer interest in the franchise, however, and its lackluster ratings on Thursday nights reflected that. One would imagine tha

The production on NBC’s Constantine has been stopped after only thirteen episodes, but it is possible that the show could get a second season.

The show aired a total of 23 episodes. Iron Fist was the fourth Marvel series on the streaming service and is the first of the five currently airing to get the axe.

It's the end of the Marvel era at Netflix. The streaming service today cancelled both Jessica Jones and The Punisher, the two remaining series in its superhero lineup based on the comic giant's work.
