Television Turmoil: The Unexpected End of Iconic TV Shows in 2025-2026

The rollercoaster year of 2025 appears to be unforgiving for television fans as a slew of cherished shows have faced the ax.

Netflix officially canceled Girls5eva after Season 3—despite it once being rescued from Peacock. Starring Sara Bareilles, Busy Philipps, Paula Pell, and Renée Elise Goldsberry, the girl-group comedy gained a cult following. Philipps shared an emotional farewell on Instagram, calling the show “a light in the darkest time of my life.”

Apple TV+ also shut down Sunny, the Rashida Jones-led adaptation of The Dark Manual. Jones lamented that more awareness might have extended the show’s run, while praising Apple’s weekly release format.
