• There are a few shows that are either ending or have the unfortunate luck of being canceled altogether in 2026.

Another year of television will usher in more memorable moments and brilliant characters. But, with the joys of new shows and returning ones alike, there is the sad side of becoming invested into a series. It is not uncommon for show cancellations to happen in this streaming era before a show even gets to find its stride. And, like all good things in life, a series has to come to an end at some point. We hate to say goodbye but we always cherish the narrative journey. In 2026, there are quite a few shows that either got an unfortunate cancellation notice or are simply ending, perhaps wrapping up the plan of their creative team. Let’s get into what shows we will have to say goodbye to this year.

The Boroughs (Netflix)Netflix

Alas, it’s curtains for this Duffer Brothers series at Netflix. Netflix has canceled The Boroughs, which aired in May and was canceled in June, after only one season. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix cites the expense of sci-fi as an issue. But surely, the Duffer Brothers’ move to Paramount couldn’t have helped things.

For those who missed the series altogether, here is The Boroughs‘ synopsis. “In a seemingly perfect retirement community, a grieving newcomer’s monstrous encounter inspires him to join a misfit crew of unlikely heroes who uncover a dark secret that proves their ‘golden years’ are more dangerous, and they are more formidable, than anyone expects.” We guess we’ll have to wait and see what the Duffer Brothers do next, including their mysterious “event movie.”

Access Hollywood (NBC)

Access Hollywood began in 1996 and has stood as one of the best-known names in on-air entertainment news. But now, after 30 seasons, NBC has canceled the familiar series. We guess you can come and get your news from Nerdist instead. The series will continue on into the summer before ending sometime this year.

Emily in Paris (Netflix)

Another Netflix series is ending. Netflix announced that Emily in Paris‘ sixth season would be its last. Series creator Darren Star shared, “Making Emily in Paris with this extraordinary cast and crew has been the trip of a lifetime. As we embark on the final season, I am so grateful to Netflix, Paramount, and, most importantly, the fans who have taken this incredible journey with us. We can’t wait to share this last chapter with you. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives, inspiring your dreams of travel and your love of Paris. We will always have Emily in Paris.”

The Night Agent (Netflix)Netflix

Netflix’s thriller series The Night Agent will officially end with season four. Series creator Shawn Ryan shares, “Ever since the initial success of ‘The Night Agent,’ I’ve been obsessed with eventually delivering a proper and thrilling conclusion to the show and to Peter Sutherland’s journey. I’m so grateful to Netflix and Sony Pictures Television for partnering with me on The Night Agent and for giving us the space to deliver a definitive final season to our worldwide legion of fans. We are hard at work to complete our story and to make our final season one our fans will never forget.”

Season four of the Netflix series is currently in production.

Gen V (Prime Video)Prime Video

Alas, as The Boys sails off into the sunset with its final season, Prime Video has canceled Gen V as well. This The Boys spinoff series lasted two seasons before getting the axe. We’re sad not to see any more of the college-aged Supes, but we guess without the main series, this one no longer felt relevant. We’ll miss you, Gen V.

From (MGM+)MGM+

MGM+ has renewed From for a fifth and final season, marking the end of the series. The sci-fi horror series starring Lost‘s Harold Perrineau is set to air season four this spring, and its final-season writers’ room has already opened. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, creator John Griffin revealed, “There was a fair amount of soul-searching. But we all came to the realization that if we made that sixth season, it would be for us, because it’s just too hard to say goodbye.”

He additionally noted: “In full transparency, five seasons was always the goal, but we always wanted to let the story tell us when it was time to end. When we reached the end of season three and the death of Jim (Eion Bailey), it felt like we reached the end of the beginning. Similarly, season four very naturally feels like the beginning of the end. We’ve had the opportunity to tell this story from the beginning the way we really wanted to tell it, with the full support of Michael Wright and everybody over at MGM. It’s rare you get to tell this type of story and give it the life you feel it needs, to let the story decide when it’s time to end.”

From season four will release on April 19.

Talamasca: The Secret Order (AMC)AMC

Alas, AMC’s first Anne Rice Immortal Universe series to be cancelled is Talamasca: The Secret Order. The Talamasca series told an original story set in Anne Rice’s world, not following any specific novel or original source material, but expanding upon the idea of the Talamasca spy organization to tell a new tale. Many quite liked the series’ characters, including Guy Anatole, played by Nicholas Denton, and the vampire Jasper, played by William Fichtner. But it feels like the show’s story just didn’t fully come together. For our part, we enjoyed the chemistry between the leads, but felt it wasn’t campy or queer enough to compete with AMC’s Interview with the Vampire, which truly hit a home run. And so, Talamasca: The Secret Order ends after only one season.

A statement from AMC makes it sound like we could see the characters elsewhere in the franchise, so we’ll hold out hope for that.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (Paramount+)Paramount+

This YA centric series just wrapped up its first season, and seemed to have promise with another season already in progress. Hopefully, the creatives for this Paramount+ series wrote their scripts without any major cliffhangers, because Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is cancelled and will end with season two. Welp.

It speaks to our current TV climate where shows barely get a chance to find their footing before going on the chopping block. What if viewership went up in season 2, which wrapped production in early 2026? I guess we will never know.

“We’re incredibly proud of the ambition, passion, and creativity that went into bringing Star Trek: Starfleet Academy to life,” CBS Studios and Paramount+ said in a joint statement. “The series introduced audiences to a bold new group of characters, welcomed familiar faces, and expanded the Star Trek universe in exciting new ways.

Hacks (HBO)

HBO Max confirmed that season five will be the final round for its comedy series Hacks. A trailer for its last season gave fans both delight and sadness. The show returns on April 9 with its series finale on May 28.

The Boys (Prime Video)Prime Video

It’s been quite the wild ride with Butcher and Homelander. This Prime Video series, an adaptation of Garth Ennis’ comic series, gave us a raunchy and hyper violent look into what a would would be like if superpowered individuals had mostly terrible intentions. We’ve watched Wee Hughie grow up to be a boss, Kimiko’s healing journey, MM process his childhood trauma, and a surprising redemption arc for A-Train, among other great storylines. Now, with the US in a political crisis and supes throwing humans into detention centers, it is time to see how this show will end in 2026. The Boys’ fifth and final season will premiere on April 8 and we are grateful that this series will get to tell its full story. 

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (CBS)

One TV show that will be cancelled in 2026 is The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The circumstances behind bringing this series to an end are complicated, to say the least. Colbert is known for being openly critical of both CBS and our current president, which isn’t unusual for the average late show host. While the company says that his thoughts are not behind the cancellation, it is interesting that they co-exist. The series finale will air on May 21.

THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT Will End This MayThe Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (AMC)AMC

Daryl’s journey across seasons (now with his bestie Carol in tow) will come to an end after four seasons. From the dangers of France to Spain, Daryl has honestly been having so much fun getting into various messy shenanigans that I don’t think he really wants to go back home. With filming wrapped for the series back in November, we can certainly expect this final chapter to air as this show ends sometime in 2026. Will it set up a Walking Dead event that reunites all the original series’ main players? We will have to see. 

Outlander (Starz)

After a whopping eight seasons and twelve years, Outlander is coming to an end. That almost feels unheard of in today’s times where a show can take 3-5 years off between seasons… if it gets more than one or two seasons at all. This historical fantasy series fervent fanbase will get to know how this long-running saga ends when its final round runs from March to May of this year. (And if you just can’t wait, there’s always the books to turn to.)

Good Omens (Prime Video)Prime Video

Good Omens‘ future was very much in the air following season two’s heart wrenching ending. But, despite the allegations swirling around Neil Gaiman, who is no longer creatively attached to the show, there will be an ending to this series. It will not come in a season but rather a 90-minute episode to wrap things up. Hopefully, Aziraphale and Crowley will get the happy final moments that they deserve.

Aziraphale and Crowley Deserve Their GOOD OMENS Happy EndingThe Witcher (Netflix)

Back in 2024, Netflix’s live-action fantasy series based on games by the same name, The Witcher was renewed for a fifth and final season. Season four aired in the Fall of 2025 with Liam Hemsworth taking the reins as Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill. And considering that season four and five were filmed back to back, it is pretty certain that this story will come to an end before 2026 is over. 

All American (The CW)

Besides the greatness that is Ted Lasso, sports dramas usually fall outside of our nerdy wheelhouse. But All American feels like a slice of a time when The CW was ruling the airwaves with ensemble dramas that seemingly never ended. Sadly, All American is about to be all over when season eight premieres sometime in 2026. That’s eight seasons in eight years, which is a pretty darn good run. 

The Way Home (Hallmark Channel)

This is also a little outside of our normal coverage zone considering it is a Hallmark series. But the premise is one that would grab the attention of those of us who like time traveling and drama that punches us in the feels. The series follows three generations of women—matriarch Del, her adult daughter Kat, and Kat’s teenage daughter Alice—who live on a small Canadian farm.

There are some deep family wounds, but there’s also a pond that allows certain people to time travel. Alice (and others) begin to jump through time and cause a domino effect along the way. The Way Home’s fourth and last season begins to air on April 19, making it yet another show ending in 2026.

⚡ Quick Take

• Lakeshore Records is releasing a limited-edition 2xLP vinyl of The Mighty Nein‘s soundtrack.
• The Mighty Nein, Critical Role‘s second animated series, was a big success in 2025.

After Critical Role’s success with its animated series, The Legend of Vox Machina, its second show, set 20 years later, The Mighty Nein, made quite a splash in November 2025. The show, described by our own Dan Casey as “dark fantasy,“ received a glowing review from our team. Every aspect of the fantastical animated world was point-perfect, including its sound. And that’s why, today, we’re thrilled to exclusively reveal that The Mighty Nein soundtrack is getting a limited-edition vinyl release.

Lakeshore Records

Neal Acree, the same composer who worked on Vox Machina, created a soundtrack for the new series, which Critical Role CEO Travis Willingham called “Tron meets fantasy.” Two things we like a lot. Now, as mentioned, we have some exclusive insights into the new form The Mighty Nein soundtrack is taking: a limited-edition vinyl package from Lakeshore Records.

These MIGHTY NEIN Comics Are a Must-Read For Critical Role Fans

The Mighty Nein soundtrack package will include a 2xLP “Gold & Cobalt” vinyl in a gatefold cover that will hold inner sleeves and liner notes, both covered in blue-tinted artwork from the show. Combined, the two records will include a total of 28 tracks, with 14 on each. The cover itself is also decorated top to bottom with Mighty Nein characters. We’ve listed the tracks below to get you excited about what you might expect to hear AND to remind you of all the feels you got when you first watched the scenes. Bawling our eyes out at “The Little Spark That Became a Firestorm” already.

Neal Acree, the series’ composer, worked on the Overwatch and World of Warcraft soundtracks alongside his compositions for Critical Role, so we know he is not playing around. His many other credits include over 30 feature films. The Mighty Nein soundtrack leans very electronic but still maintains a cinematic feel, and we bet it will sound even more amazing on vinyl. Acree manages to seamlessly combine intense, choir-like vocals and dramatic drum beats with pulsing synthpop. One of the tracks features Auli’i Cravalho of Moana. Another, Anika Noni Rose, the voice of Tiana in Princess and the Frog. Despite featuring Disney princess vocalists, the songs truly capture that dark, mysterious feeling the show itself embodies.

This The Mighty Nein limited-edition vinyl package will be available in stores beginning on August 7. And you can pre-order it today!

For those who don’t already know, here’s The Mighty Nein‘s synopsis, just as a reminder: “The Mighty Nein follows a group of fugitives and outcasts, bound by secrets and scars. But when a powerful arcane relic known as “The Beacon” falls into dangerous hands, they must learn to work together to save the realm and stop reality itself from unraveling.“

• For its latest Next Level launch, DC Comics is giving fresh starts to the Teen Titans, the Legion of Super-Heroes, and the Doom Patrol.

Three of DC Comics’ most legendary superhero teams are getting ready for a big comeback, as the publisher has announced that Teen Titans, Legion of Super-Heroes, and the Doom Patrol are relaunching this fall as part of the DC Next Level initiative. This new rollout, which has given fans critically acclaimed new takes on characters like Batwoman, Deathstroke, and Lobo, among others. And now, it focuses on several teams that are iconic in DC lore. Each one of these first issues lands this September. You can read up on the details for each one below:

The Legion of Super-Heroes DC Comics

The first grand return is for the Legion of Super-Heroes. This is one of DC Comics’ earliest teams, who have been active for almost 70 years. The last time the heroes of the 31st century had their own title was back in 2021. So it’s been a long hiatus. You can read the official synopsis for Legion of Super-Heroes #1 down below, and check out several different covers for the Legion’s big relaunch:

One thousand years after the Last Son of Krypton’s rocket crashed on the Kent Farm comes a new future inspired by the Man of Tomorrow! But this new future is in danger! Superheroes are outlawed! Deadly enforcers known as the Persuaders keep the populace of the United Planets in check! Worlds are at war! And this dark tomorrow’s last glimmer of hope, R.J. Brande, has been brutally murdered. Can the mysterious Brainiac 1 of 5 solve Brande’s murder?

To restore hope to the universe, he must assemble a legion of gifted young rebels from across the cosmos! But they are scattered across the universe! Witness the dawn of a new future in DC Comics architect Joshua Williamson and Eisner-winning superstar artist Hayden Sherman’s Legion of Super-Heroes… you will never look at tomorrow the same way again! Legion of Super‑Heroes #1, a 40‑page debut issue written by Eisner-nominated Joshua Williamson (Superman) with art and cover by Hayden Sherman (Absolute Wonder Woman).

Issue #1 features variant covers by Jim Lee (card stock and foil), Mark Spears, Yasmine Putri, Hayden Sherman, Dan Mora (Michael J. Fox cameo), and V Ken Marion (1:25), will publish on September 2. Legion of Super‑Heroes #1 will retail for $3.99 US for the main cover, $4.99 US for card stock variants, and $6.99 US for the foil variant.

We’ve had an adult version of the Titans for several years now. One that continues in DC’s New Titans series. Yet it’s been some time since we’ve had any Teen Titans in the DCU. Now, a new supergroup of young metahumans is forming under that name once again. And fan-favorite former Robin, Jason Todd, a.k.a. the Red Hood, leads them. Here’s the synopsis for this fresh take on one of DC’s signature brands, along with the main and variant covers:

When one of their own vanishes after attending a rally for Ascend—a fast-growing youth movement training kids to survive in a world shaped by superhuman conflict—Fairplay, Cheshire Cat, Proxy, and Wildcard will do whatever it takes to find their friend, including teaming up with Red Hood! Jason thinks they’re soft and reckless. They don’t understand how he can still kill people. Now they have to work together—whether they like it or not!

Created by Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo, the acclaimed team behind Power Rangers: Shattered Grid and Image Comics’ Massive-Verse, this series channels the same mix of heart, scope, and style that has defined their work together—blending cinematic storytelling and Di Nicuolo’s dynamic, expressive art to bring the next generation of heroes to life.

Teen Titans #1, a 32‑page debut issue written by Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black) with art and cover by Daniele Di Nicuolo (Nightwing) and featuring variant covers by Dan Mora (card stock and foil), Jim Cheung, Sanford Greene (1:25), and Hayden Sherman (Next Level), along with a card stock blank sketch cover, will publish on September 2. Teen Titans #1 will retail for $3.99 US for the main cover, $4.99 US for card stock variants, and $6.99 US for the foil variant.

And last but certainly not least, DC’s team of super freaks returns, with a new take on its original lineup. After becoming a cult hit on HBO Max for four seasons, the Doom Patrol returns at last. And with what looks like one of their trippiest series yet. The official description for the series, along with the various covers, can be seen below:

DC Comics/ Niko Henrichon

The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to what seems like a simple case—a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation!

And elsewhere, beyond the view of Robotman, Elasti-Girl, and Negative Man—and perhaps even beyond the veil of our reality—a ghost of the team’s past is preparing to cross into their world.The visionary team of Eisner Award-winning writer Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird) and legendary artist Niko Henrichon (Spectators, Pride of Baghdad) ushers the Doom Patrol into a new age for DC Next Level.

The Doom Patrol #1, a 32‑page debut issue written by Darcy Van Poelgeest with art and cover by Niko Henrichon and featuring variant covers by Clayton Crain (card stock and foil), Ian Bertram, Ashley Wood (1:25), and Hayden Sherman (Next Level), will publish on September 2. The Doom Patrol #1 will retail for $3.99 US for the main cover, $4.99 US for card stock variants, and $6.99 US for the foil variant.

Each one of these new DC Next Level first issues launches on September 3. But even more Next Level series are coming in the future. Expect to hear more at Comic-Con in San Diego this summer.

What’s your favorite scary movie? For a lot of ‘90s horror fans, the answer is Scream. The slasher teen horror flick changed the face of the genre with its meta commentary and surprise twist of two killers. Fans thought the franchise would be a trilogy, but it returned triumphantly in 2011 with Scream 4. This sequel was also ahead of its time, commenting on people’s desires to film everything and seek fame through controversy. So, it is only right that Scream 4 has a fresh 4K UHD and Blu-ray Steelbook release with a ton of extras and special features. We were glad to get our hands on a copy of this release and it is sleek and packed full of entertainment. And, there’s even a digital copy that you can add to your online library with ease.

SCREAM 4’s Jill Roberts Is a Sinister Twist to Horror Tropes

First, let’s get into the Steelbook artwork by gnah studios for the Scream 4 4K UHD and Blu-ray release. The cover has a menacing side profile of our favorite masked slasher Ghostface as he stares at a big Scream 4 logo. The inside, which has a disc for each format, includes an image of our ever-intrepid final girl Sidney Prescott with a knife in hand.

I particularly love the back of the Steelbook, which includes a webcam with blood splatters all around it and the scrawled words “Welcome Home, Sidney.” Of course, all of us at Nerdist are big-time physical media fans and this will be a really nice one to add to any growing (or already massive) collection. 

Lionsgate Limited

Now, onto its features! Both discs have the film as well as the following Legacy Special Features: 

•  Feature Commentary with Director Wes Craven and Cast Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, and Neve Campbell
•  Deleted and Extended Scenes
•  Alternate Opening
•  Extended Ending
•  Gag Reel
• EPKs:
  • B-Roll 
  • Soundbites
• Junket Interviews
•  Trailers
• TV Spot

As you can see, Lionsgate did not skimp on the features that we all want to see. I won’t give away anything, but the deleted and extended scenes, alternate opening, and the gag reel were absolutely stellar.

Additionally, both the Scream 4 Blu-ray and 4K UHD also have these limited extras: 

• The Meta of Scream 
• Rebooting the Franchise: Scream 4 Revisited 
• Ghostface Revealed!
• Wes Craven: The Maestro of Scream

The ode to Wes Craven, who helmed the franchise until his death 2015, was exceptionally touching as a long-time horror fan. And, of course, seeing Scream 4 in 4K is an immersive experience that totally changes a film that I’ve watched dozens of times over the years. Right now, you can grab your copy on Lionsgate’s website for a very fair price of $34.99 to enjoy all the goods.

• LEGO’s first Twilight set has arrived and it brings to life the Cullen House. This LEGO set also includes a sparkling Edward minifigure.

Get ready to say, “Where the hell have you been (all my life), Loca!” to this LEGO set because the time has officially come. Yes, LEGO has put out a Twilight set. We hope it’s only the first of many, for now but the Twilight LEGO collaboration kicked off with a dazzling buildable model of the Cullen House. You know it, you love it, you know it’s made of glass just so that Bella can potentially hurt herself as much possible. Now it can be yours to build. And YES, my good people. YES. LEGO’s Edward Minifigure does SPARKLE. We’d expect nothing less from LEGO, which has proven time and time again that it knows how to take care of all the details. But we are still excited! Want to know all the details of LEGO‘s first Twilight collaboration set? Grab on Spider Monkey, and let’s dive in.

LEGO’s Twilight The Cullen House Set DetailsLEGO

The LEGO Group and Lionsgate have finally come together to bring one of Twilight‘s most iconic structures to life in this Cullen House LEGO set. After all, so many things went right (and wrong) in the Cullen House throughout the Twilight journey, it’s only fair LEGO’s first homage to the franchise honors it as it deserves. (Although we still are after a Cullen baseball field set, but that’s a conversation for a whole different piece.) It makes true sense to begin with the jewel of the Twilight world, what LEGO describes as a design that captures “the stylish, modern architecture and intricate interior of the three-story residence” and invites fans to immerse themselves in the epic saga.

LEGO

Of course, Twilight is all about Bella cramping the Cullens style with her churlish and unfashionable ways (with love!) so Bella’s iconic red truck makes an appearance as well. Just so we know there’s a little bit of our favorite loca represented. Additionally, we get a towering tree to build for the full Spider Monkey experience. (A meadow to lie shirtless in is sold separately.) The LEGO version of the Twilight Cullen House also features a grand piano for the living room so that LEGO Edward can serenade Bella to his heart’s content.

That’s the good stuff. Now for the EXTRA good stuff. The Cullen House LEGO set includes seven Twilight minifigures, including Bella Swan, Edward Cullen (with a dazzling sparkle effect), and Jacob Black, who also appears in his wolf form. Honestly, we would have rioted if the Edward minifigure didn’t sparkle. But now we don’t have to. What a relief! But that would have truly robbed us of something elemental to the LEGO Twilight experience. Also how much do we love that Jacob has long hair in the set, reflecting his look when Bella first met the Cullens? So much. (Although it seems like LEGO also provides this Twilight LEGO minifigure with his short haircut for even more transformative possibilities.)

In full, the set includes the following Twilight LEGO Minifigures: Edward Cullen, Bella Swan, Jacob Black, Alice Cullen, Carlisle Cullen, Rosalie Cullen, and Bella’s Dad, Charlie Swan. Honestly, we feel obsessed with it! Sorry to Emmett, Jasper, and Esmee.

Incredibly, this Twilight set began life as a LEGO Ideas submission. That means a fan submitted the set so it could potentially transform into a real LEGO set.

Micheels shares of his design, “The amazing submissions on the LEGO Ideas site that demonstrated how dynamic the LEGO system is inspired me to submit my own idea. I decided to create a Twilight build because I’m a massive fan of the saga, and imagining a LEGO interpretation of the films made me so happy!” You can check out more about the original LEGO Ideas design here and know that this Twilight LEGO set was truly made by fans for fans.

⚡ Quick Take

• Big Baby is a new film by Spider One, who made Little Bites in 2024.
• It will be a gory, gutsy slasher movie about a man in a baby mask, and the author who is writing his story.

A teaser trailer for an upcoming horror film dropped today. Big Baby from director Spider One will bring back the classic horror writer trope in a brand new way.

In this Stranger-Than-Fiction-turned-horror, a writer spirals into insanity as he kills off his own characters left and right, using a man in a baby mask as his main villain. His characters come back to haunt him and beg for their lives.

Nightmares of a maniac killer in a baby mask inspire a horror writer’s new script. As his life begins to spiral out of control, he discovers Big Baby’s murderous rampage may be more than just fiction.

The trailer makes it clear the movie will be a classic slasher. The “Big Baby” kills various people in myriad gruesome ways. The more interesting part, though, is that the author is able to see and commune with his own characters, and that they seem entirely aware of the fact that he is choosing to kill them. This will provide some interesting tension.

Spider One, Brainstorm Media

The main killer says he is slaying “everyone who hurt [him],” so he will almost definitely have an elaborate, likely tragic backstory.

Krsy Fox, who appeared in Terrifier 3 and Little Bites (also by Spider One), is both starring in and producing the movie. Her co-star, playing the tortured author, is Brandon Scott, whose credits include Dead To Me and Grey’s Anatomy. Cher is an executive producer for the movie as well, and she served the same role on Little Bites. Spider One is an alias for Michael Cummings, Rob Zombie’s brother and front man of the band Powerman 5000.

The trailer promises plenty of action as well as interesting characters. It does bring into question, though, if this slasher will provide anything the last couple of hundred did not. Blood, gore, horrifying deaths and jump scares, most certainly. But characters with depth and a terrifying story? We’ll have to see.

Big Baby is set to come out August 7.
