Every year, some of our favorite TV shows come to an end, whether by choice or cancellation. 2027 is shaping up to be a big year for TV goodbyes, with beloved series wrapping up across major networks and streaming platforms. From long-running sitcoms to binge-worthy dramas, fans everywhere are bracing for final episodes and surprise cancellations.
Here is a look at the shows saying farewell in 2027.
1. Watson (CBS)
After just two seasons, CBS pulled the plug on Watson, the modern medical mystery drama that reimagined the iconic Sherlock Holmes sidekick. The show had promise, blending procedural medicine with literary nostalgia, but ratings never quite hit the mark the network needed.
Fans who tuned in each week were disappointed by the early cancellation. Watson joins a long list of shows that felt like they had more story to tell but never got the chance to finish it.
2. DMV (CBS)
Not every new show gets a second chance, and DMV learned that lesson quickly. The workplace comedy premiered in 2025 and tried to find humor in the most dreaded government office most people have ever visited.
Sounds funny on paper, right?
Unfortunately, audiences did not stick around long enough for the jokes to land consistently. CBS canceled the show after just one season, making it one of the quicker goodbyes on this list.
3. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (CBS)
Few late-night endings carry as much weight as this one. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert wrapped up its run after the 2026 season, with CBS citing financial reasons for the decision.
The franchise itself stretches all the way back to David Letterman, giving it decades of television history.
Colbert hosted the show for over a decade, blending sharp political humor with heartfelt interviews. Saying goodbye to a show this iconic feels like the end of a real TV era.
4. The Neighborhood (CBS)
Eight seasons is a solid run by any measure, and The Neighborhood earned every one of them. The CBS sitcom premiered in 2018 and built a loyal audience around the story of two very different families becoming unlikely neighbors and friends.
Reports suggest that salary raise requests from cast members played a role in the show wrapping up. Whatever the reason, Season 8 marked the end of a warm, funny show that many families watched together every week.
5. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (Netflix)
Based on the wildly popular book series by Holly Jackson, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder captivated Netflix viewers with its sharp mystery storytelling and compelling young lead character. The show confirmed it will wrap up with Season 3, giving fans a planned and proper ending.
That is actually great news for book lovers who want to see the full story play out on screen. Three seasons feels like exactly the right amount of time to honor the source material.
6. Emily in Paris (Netflix)
Ooh la la, it is finally au revoir for Emily in Paris. Netflix confirmed that Season 6 will be the last for this glamorous, fashion-forward comedy-drama set in the City of Light.
The show became a global hit thanks to its dreamy visuals and guilty-pleasure storylines.
Love it or roll your eyes at it, Emily in Paris built a massive fanbase over its run. Season 6 promises to wrap up Emily’s romantic and professional adventures in a way fans will remember.
7. Outer Banks (Netflix)
The Pogues are finally hanging up their shovels. Outer Banks, the sun-soaked treasure-hunting teen drama that became a massive Netflix phenomenon, will end with its fifth season.
The show turned a cast of young unknowns into household names almost overnight when it debuted in 2020.
Season 5 is expected to bring the treasure hunt storyline to a thrilling conclusion. Fans who have been riding the waves with John B and the crew since the beginning are in for one wild final adventure.
8. The Witcher (Netflix)
The path of the Witcher comes to an end with Season 5 on Netflix. The fantasy epic based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s beloved book series had a rocky road, most notably when Henry Cavill departed the show after Season 3 and was replaced by Liam Hemsworth.
That casting change divided the fanbase, but Netflix chose to see the story through to its conclusion. Season 5 will be the final chapter for Geralt of Rivia and the monsters he hunts across the Continent.
9. The Night Agent (Netflix)
When The Night Agent dropped on Netflix in 2023, it instantly became one of the platform’s most-watched thrillers. The show follows a low-level FBI agent pulled into a massive White House conspiracy, and it kept viewers glued to their screens with cliffhanger after cliffhanger.
Netflix confirmed that Season 4 will be the final one, giving the show a definitive ending rather than an abrupt stop. Spy thriller fans will want to clear their schedules when the last season arrives.
10. The Lincoln Lawyer (Netflix)
Mickey Haller is closing his case files for good. Based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels, The Lincoln Lawyer became one of Netflix’s most dependable legal dramas, earning praise for its sharp writing and charismatic lead performance by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo.
Season 5 will be the final chapter for the unconventional defense attorney who runs his practice out of a luxury car. Legal drama fans who have followed every twist and courtroom showdown are in for a satisfying goodbye.
11. Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix)
Netflix’s live-action take on the beloved animated classic will conclude with its third and final season. Avatar: The Last Airbender has always been a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end, following Aang’s journey to master all four elements and bring peace to a war-torn world.
Three seasons mirrors the original animated series structure, which feels poetic. Fans of the original cartoon as well as newcomers to the story will get to see Aang’s full arc play out in live-action form.
12. Boots (Netflix)
Sometimes a show barely gets started before the curtain falls. Boots was canceled by Netflix after just one season, making it one of the more surprising cuts of the year.
The streaming giant is known for giving shows quick cancellations if viewership numbers do not meet internal benchmarks.
Fans of Boots did not get the chance to see where the story could go in a second season. It is a reminder that even in the streaming era, not every show gets a second chance.
13. Holes (Disney+)
The classic 2003 film Holes has a devoted fanbase, so the announcement of a Disney+ reboot generated genuine excitement. Unfortunately, that excitement did not translate into enough viewership to keep the show alive, and Disney+ canceled it before it could really find its footing.
Reboots of beloved stories always carry high expectations, which can be both a blessing and a challenge. Holes joins a growing list of nostalgia-driven projects that struggled to capture the magic of the original in a new format.
14. The Kitchen (Food Network)
Thirty-six seasons is an almost unbelievable run for any television show, and The Kitchen on Food Network achieved exactly that. The casual, co-hosted cooking show became a weekend staple for food lovers who enjoyed its relaxed format and practical recipe ideas.
After all those years and hundreds of episodes, Food Network decided it was time to retire the format. Saying goodbye to a show with this kind of longevity feels significant, like losing a reliable weekend tradition you did not realize you depended on.
15. Going Dutch (Fox)
Fox gave Going Dutch two seasons to find its audience, but the romantic comedy never quite built the loyal viewership it needed to survive. The show leaned into quirky humor and modern relationship dynamics, which appealed to some viewers but did not break through to a wider crowd.
Season 2 turned out to be its last. Going Dutch is a solid example of a show that had genuine charm but could not crack the ratings code in an increasingly crowded television landscape.
16. English Teacher (FX)
FX’s English Teacher was one of those comedies that critics adored but mainstream audiences took a little longer to discover. The show followed a high school English teacher navigating the chaos of modern education with sharp wit and surprisingly emotional storytelling.
Despite positive reviews, FX canceled the show after two seasons. It is the kind of cancellation that stings a little more because the quality was clearly there.
English Teacher deserved more time to grow its audience.
17. Rehab Addict (HGTV)
Nine seasons of rescuing old homes from demolition is a legacy worth celebrating. Rehab Addict, hosted by Nicole Curtis, built a passionate following among viewers who appreciated her commitment to preserving historic homes rather than tearing them down for modern builds.
HGTV’s decision to cancel the show after Season 9 marks the end of a genuinely unique renovation series. Nicole Curtis brought real personality and purpose to every project, making Rehab Addict stand out in a crowded home improvement genre.
18. Ridiculousness (MTV)
Forty-eight seasons. Let that number sink in for a moment.
Ridiculousness on MTV became one of the longest-running clip shows in television history, with Rob Dyrdek and his co-hosts reacting to wild viral videos week after week. It was simple, funny, and endlessly rewatchable.
MTV’s decision to finally end the show closes a chapter on an era of clip-based comedy programming. Whatever your opinion of the format, reaching 48 seasons is a staggering achievement that very few shows ever come close to matching.
19. Brilliant Minds (NBC)
NBC’s Brilliant Minds tried to carve out a space in the crowded medical drama genre by focusing on neurology and the mysteries of the human brain. The show had an interesting hook and a charismatic lead, earning it a second season renewal before NBC ultimately decided to move on.
Cancellation after Season 2 is a tough spot, just long enough to build a loyal audience but too short to fully pay off the show’s bigger storylines. Fans were understandably frustrated when NBC pulled the plug.
20. Hotel Costiera (Prime Video)
Premiering in September 2025, Hotel Costiera brought sun-drenched Italian drama to Prime Video with gorgeous visuals and a soap-opera-style storyline set along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. The setting alone was enough to attract viewers dreaming of European escapism from their couches.
Despite the stunning backdrop and initial buzz, Prime Video canceled the series without a second season. It is a shame, because Hotel Costiera had the kind of lush, cinematic energy that felt tailor-made for a streaming audience hungry for international drama.
