We usually choose to give attention to optimistic issues firstly of a brand new yr, however the reality is that each good present should come to an finish, and we’re about to say goodbye to some really beloved sequence in 2024. We have already misplaced so many reveals not too long ago, together with NCIS: Los Angeles and Magnum P.I.
However right here we’re to debate it some extra! A number of the reveals on this checklist are going out on their very own phrases after lengthy, profitable runs. Others are being unceremoniously kicked to the curb on account of low rankings, large budgets, or departing stars.
One factor all of them have in frequent? Their loss will actually sting.
However one all of them have in frequent is that they are shuffling off the airwaves someday inside the subsequent 12 months, so be part of us as we bid farewell to the next sequence from throughout the TV panorama.
We will not say we’ll miss all of those reveals, however our hearts exit to the followers of every one among them!
Blue Bloods
First on the chopping block is the long-running CBS household cop drama Blue Bloods.
You might need realized it was nonetheless on the air, however because the one factor they will nonetheless agree on, it is an important present to your mother and father. (Your mother, like all mothers, maintains a deep, abiding love for Tom Selleck.)
We jest. As one among TV Fanatic’s greatest hits, we all know how a lot this present will likely be missed. It is one of many few reveals that persistently will get the story proper, and that is why viewership hasn’t waned.
Blue Bloods will kick off its fourteenth and remaining season starting on February 16. We (and Mothers in all places) will likely be inconsolable.
Bob Hearts Abishola
One other long-running community stalwart that is trying out in ’24 is the beloved CBS sitcom Bob Hearts Abishola.
The present developed a loyal fan base over the course of its five-year run, however as we beforehand reported, the cancellation of Bob Hearts Abishola didn’t come as a shock, as casting shakeups indicated that the sequence was not lengthy for this world.
Comedy sequence have taken a beating in recent times, and we now have to surprise how for much longer the standard sitcom, as we have come to comprehend it, will likely be round.
Bob Hearts Abishola Season 5 is about to premiere on February 12.
Cobra Kai
A light-weight-hearted drama? A comedy with critical undertones?
It doesn’t matter what you name it, there was an terrible lot of kicking concerned in Netflix’s Karate Child sequel sequence Cobra Kai, and now, the present is being kicked to the curb.
In case you had informed us 30 years in the past anybody might pull off a revival of this magnitude, including superbly to the historical past whereas displaying unbelievable character development, we might have laughed. But, Cobra Kai is without doubt one of the most profitable revivals of its sort just by honoring what has come earlier than.
Netflix has not but introduced a launch date for the sixth and remaining season of Cobra Kai.
Elite
The longest-running Spanish-language scripted sequence on Netflix, Elite is about to finish its eight-season run in 2024.
No launch date for the ultimate episodes has been introduced, however showrunner Carlos Montero has confirmed that filming is accomplished and manufacturing “ended on a excessive notice.”
The sequence — which facilities round a gaggle of working-class pals at a tony non-public college — grew to become a shock world hit for Netflix when it debuted again in 2018.
The present has modified drastically since its premiere, however we’ll all the time bear in mind how these college students wormed their method into our hearts.
Good Hassle
It was a superb run for Good Hassle, however the Freeform sequence will name it quits with the conclusion of Good Hassle Season 5B, which premiered in early January.
A by-product of the favored household drama The Fosters, Good Hassle made its mum or dad season proud with a profitable run of its personal.
However followers and stars appear to agree that the present has run its course with our reviewer even utilizing the phrase “unwatchable,” albeit solely briefly. It is really the top of an period, following these characters from childhood into younger maturity.
Hopefully, this one will exit on a excessive notice.
The Handmaid’s Story
Previously probably the most buzzed-about reveals on tv, some suppose The Handmaid’s Story has been limping alongside in a zombified state for the previous two or three years, however we all know higher.
The Handmaid’s Story Season 5 was one among its greatest, organising the sequence for a satisfying conclusion. Sadly, this adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s spellbinding dystopian novel will come to an finish in 2024 — and it’ll accomplish that underneath new management.
Showrunner Bruce Miller has stepped apart, and Eric Tuchman and Yahlin Chang will take his place. We will solely think about how that may have an effect on issues, however since Elisabeth Moss is deeply concerned with manufacturing, we’re not too apprehensive.
Followers can even take coronary heart within the information that Miller is already onerous at work on a spin-off sequence, The Testaments, that is additionally primarily based on Atwood’s work. Reward be!
Hulu has not but introduced a launch date, however you may take a look at the whole lot we find out about The Handmaid’s Story Season 6 within the meantime.
La Brea
After simply three seasons, everybody’s favourite dino drama is about to go extinct.
Fortunately, community execs have determined to present the present an opportunity to exit in model with a full season that is set to debut on January 9. Sadly, we’re getting a very truncated season.
La Brea might not have been successful with critics, however its devoted fan base, who’ve been starved for sci-fi content material on broadcast, will definitely miss this tar pit-based oddity.
Outlander
Hotter than a wool kilt on a summer time’s day, Outlander gained an immediate cult following when it premiered on Starz in 2014.
The difference of Diana Gabaldon’s beloved novel centered on time-traveling nurse Claire and her romance with the dashing Highland warrior Jamie.
The present will come to an finish in 2024, however no premiere date has been confirmed for the ultimate season. We simply hope that as an alternative of the distress that has pervaded the sequence via Outlander Season 6, we’ll see sunshine forward for the beloved characters.
There’s nonetheless a number of the story left to inform, so how they conclude this time-traveling historic masterpiece will likely be how your entire sequence is judged — simply ask the creators of Misplaced!
SEAL Crew
One other CBS drama giving its remaining salute in 2024 is SEAL Crew.
The long-running army drama will air its seventh and remaining season in some unspecified time in the future within the yr to return.
Sadly, no premiere date has been introduced, however those that missed out on SEAL Crew Season 5 and past have had the prospect to catch it on broadcast, in order that’s one thing.
Worse, the present made the bounce from CBS to Paramount+ in 2022, so longtime followers will want a subscription to observe the ultimate episodes.
Star Trek: Discovery
The sequence that efficiently jump-started the rebirth of the Star Trek franchise on Paramount+ will jettison to a galaxy past one final time.
Captain Michael Burhman won’t have a straightforward time of it for the final hurrah because the USS Discovery fights a brand new villain with plans to destroy the universe.
Our salvation on this cancellation is that the Star Trek universe lives on in a number of varieties.
Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 will premiere someday in April 2024.
Station 19
Gray’s Anatomy continues to be going sturdy, however one other one of many present’s spinoffs is headed for the TV graveyard.
Sure, like Non-public Apply earlier than it, Station 19 will quickly be coming to a detailed. This one caught us proper between the eyes. As one of many community’s higher-rated sequence and its connection to Gray’s, we thought it was within the clear.
Nope, when ABC revived 9-1-1, all bets have been off.
We’re holding out a sliver of hope that among the greatest characters might stick round for recurring arcs on Gray’s. In spite of everything, that present might use a jumpstart in viewership. Any long-running program can!
Superman & Lois
Let’s face it. Superman & Lois was doomed from the second The CW was put available on the market.
What The CW was and what will probably be are fully totally different animals, so we now have to face the music — historical past would not dictate the longer term.
The worst a part of this cancellation is that it is the final remaining tie to the Arrowverse, which at one time reigned within the hearts and minds of TV Fanatic readers. Hell, it was an web phenomenon full cease.
Following that disappointment is that Tyler Hoechlin makes a rattling good Superman. Fly excessive, our good friend!
S.W.A.T
Again within the ’70s, the unique S.W.A.T. acquired two seasons totaling lower than 50 episodes. Nonetheless, it was an viewers smash that hit when violence on TV was underneath scrutiny. Cancellation be damned, the sequence has by no means been removed from viewers’ hearts.
If Cobra Kai was a kickass revival, S.W.A.T. is an ass-kicking reboot. It is well-written, with loads of motion and characters with values they work onerous to uphold.
S.W.A.T. has been on the chopping block greater than as soon as, and with out the devotion of followers and the present’s stars alike going to bat for a correct sendoff, it’d by no means have occurred.
S.W.A.T’s remaining season premieres on Friday, February 16, on CBS.
Yellowstone
What a debacle this has turned out to be. Yellowstone Season 5 was already half over after we unexpectedly realized it could experience off into the sundown — with out its main man! What’s Yellowstone with out its patriarch, the person who has helped increase and divide a household? We’re about to seek out out.
Kevin Costner has departed the present, which positive provides credence to the thought Jamie may kill his adoptive father. It might make sense. He is already killed greater than as soon as, his start father included.
To say we are going to miss Beth and Rip and the bunkhouse characters could be an understatement. Our solely hope is that the attainable Matthew McConaughey-led spinoff will incorporate among the greatest Yellowstone has to supply.
However because the OG Yellowstone characters and the actors that painting them deserve their time within the highlight, we’re not holding our breath.
YOU
Severely. How lengthy can a present a couple of mass assassin proceed? Hannibal was one factor, however YOU is a completely totally different beast.
When even the main man, Penn Badgley, finds the continuation foolish, you realize it is time to say goodbye.
The sequence has had a rare life, although. First airing on Lifetime, Netflix swooped in to put it aside after cancellation.
It is much more stunning that Netflix gave YOU a further three seasons. Then once more, Dahmer was an viewers and important hit, so homicide and mayhem guidelines on the streamer.
Younger Sheldon
The prequel to The Large Bang Idea can also be coming to an finish. The sequence follows the character made well-known by Jim Parsons, who additionally narrates.
The title alone gave away the truth that the present could not proceed without end. We have already seen grownup Sheldon, and we noticed sufficient flashbacks to his younger grownup years to snuff the candle early.
Extra importantly, viewers agree that the story involves a pure conclusion with the demise of Sheldon’s father, as that units Sheldon on his final path.
Younger Sheldon’s remaining season begins airing on February 15, with a finale on Could 16, 2024. The finale will likely be an hour lengthy, which is bound to please followers.
That is a number of reveals, however we all know it is solely the start of our cancellation journey.
