All the TV Shows That Have Been Cancelled in March 2026

The television landscape continues to shift as networks and streaming platforms refine their programming slates for the upcoming season. March 2026 has proven to be a significant month for industry updates, with several long-running favorites and new freshman series facing the chopping block. From major streaming hits to staples of syndicated daytime television, these decisions reflect changing viewer habits and production priorities. This list covers every major series that has been officially canceled or scheduled to end as of this month.

‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ (2025–2026)

AMC has announced that the supernatural spy thriller will not return for a second season. This decision marks the first cancellation within the network’s expanding Anne Rice Immortal Universe. While the series has concluded, a network spokesperson indicated that the organization and its characters may reappear in future franchise projects. The show explored a secret society responsible for tracking paranormal beings across the globe. Fans of the literary source material can still expect other adaptations to continue on the network.

‘Watson’ (2025–2026)

CBS has decided to conclude its Sherlock Holmes-inspired medical procedural after a two-season run. Starring Morris Chestnut as the title character, the series followed the famous doctor as he resumed his medical career following the death of his partner. The network confirmed that the series finale is scheduled to air on May 3. Production will finish out the remaining episodes to provide a conclusion for the character’s modern-day arc.

‘DMV’ (2025–2026)

The freshman sitcom centered on a Los Angeles Department of Motor Vehicles office has been canceled by CBS. Despite its workplace comedy premise, the series failed to secure a second season order from the network. The final episode is slated to broadcast on May 11 to close out its initial run. This decision comes as part of a broader programming shuffle at the network during the spring season.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ (2026)

The latest addition to the ‘Star Trek’ franchise is set to conclude following the release of its second season. Paramount+ confirmed the decision while the sophomore season remains in the post-production phase. Although the series earned positive reviews from critics for its fresh take on the academy, it reportedly struggled to find a wide audience. The first season recently concluded its run on the streaming platform before the cancellation was finalized. This move comes despite an early renewal that took place before the series premiere.

‘Hacks’ (2021–2026)

The critically acclaimed comedy series ‘Hacks’ will officially conclude its run on Max with the upcoming fifth season. Star Hannah Einbinder initially shared the news during an awards ceremony, and the streaming platform has since confirmed the series’ ending. A trailer for the final chapter has been released, revealing a premiere date of April 9. The show has earned numerous accolades for its portrayal of the evolving relationship between a legendary comedian and a young writer.

‘Access Hollywood’ (1996–2026)

After three decades on the air, the entertainment news mainstay ‘Access Hollywood’ has been canceled in syndication. The program first premiered in 1996 and became a staple of daily celebrity reporting and red-carpet coverage. Production is scheduled to continue through the summer months to fulfill existing broadcast obligations. This closure marks the end of an era for one of the longest-running programs in the entertainment journalism genre.

‘Karamo Show’ (2022–2026)

The daytime talk show hosted by Karamo Brown will not return for another season following its recent cancellation. Production on the series has already concluded, though new episodes are set to air through the upcoming summer. Brown, known for his work on ‘Queer Eye’, utilized the platform to address personal conflicts and social issues. The show’s departure reflects a tightening market for syndicated talk programs in the current television environment.

‘The Steve Wilkos Show’ (2007–2026)

The long-running syndicated talk program hosted by Steve Wilkos is ending after nearly twenty years on the air. Originally launched as a spin-off from ‘The Jerry Springer Show’, the program focused on confrontational justice and conflict resolution. While new episodes will continue to broadcast through the summer, no further production will take place. Wilkos served as the lead security officer for Jerry Springer before transitioning into his own successful hosting career.

‘Yes, Chef!’ (2025–2026)

NBC has opted to cancel its new cooking competition series ‘Yes, Chef!’ after a single season. The program featured culinary icons Martha Stewart and José Andrés as they mentored aspiring chefs in a high-stakes kitchen environment. Lower than expected viewership figures reportedly contributed to the network’s decision to move on from the project. The series attempted to capitalize on the public’s fascination with professional kitchen dynamics and celebrity mentorship.

‘The Bear’ (2022–2026)

The award-winning restaurant drama ‘The Bear’ is set to close its doors following the conclusion of its fifth season. FX confirmed that the Chicago-set series will finish its narrative arc after its upcoming final installment. The show has garnered significant critical praise and multiple Emmy wins for its intense portrayal of a struggling sandwich shop turned fine-dining establishment. Fans will have one last season to see the resolution of Carmy Berzatto’s high-pressure culinary journey.

‘Palm Royale’ (2024–2026)

Apple TV+ has decided to cancel the high-society comedy ‘Palm Royale’ after two seasons. Starring Kristen Wiig as a woman attempting to break into Palm Beach’s most exclusive social circle, the show was known for its vibrant 1960s aesthetic. Despite earning several award nominations for its performances and costume design, the series will not move forward with a third season. The story of social ambition and secrets in Florida will wrap up with the existing episodes.
