Here are some of the best and most popular TV series that have announced their ends in 2023.
Ted Lasso Is Only Kicking Around For Three Seasons
After three successful seasons, Ted Lasso is coming to an end. Despite its success, the creators planned on having it go on for three seasons. Actor Cristo Fernandez, who plays Dani, said this about the show’s ending: “It’s been an amazing journey.”
In 2021, Ted Lasso won its first Emmy award for Outstanding Comedy Series. Fans of the show are disappointed that it is ending, but it will continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
Succession Stars “Bummed” Over Its Cancellation
Succession was both a critically acclaimed television series and a successful one too, but its popularity and accolades were not enough to prevent its cancelation after season four.
The show received 48 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and won 13. The Star of the show Nicholas Braun expressed what he felt after learning the show was not returning and said, “We’re all pretty bummed. I was sad as hell my last day.”
The Rumor Gossip Girl Is Over Is True
The Gossip Girl reboot has been canceled after just two seasons due to failing to meet the expectations of the original show. The reboot, which aired on HBO Max, received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike, leading to low viewership and, ultimately, its cancellation.
While some appreciated the new cast and modernized take on the story, others felt that it fell short of the original series. Jordan Alexander expressed her feelings about the show’s finale by saying, “Is Just Happy That Gossip Girl Happened.”
Declining Ratings Prescribe The End Of New Amsterdam
New Amsterdam, the medical drama series, will not be renewed for a sixth season due to a decline in ratings, according to show executives who said, “The main reason New Amsterdam was canceled was a fall in ratings.” Despite its dedicated fan base, the show failed to maintain viewership numbers, leading to its cancellation.
The decision to cancel it by the network left many fans disappointed, but the network defended the decision as a necessary one.
Hunters Will Not Hunt After 2023
Hunters, the Amazon Prime Video series starring Al Pacino, was canceled due to failing to meet the streaming company’s expectations.
Despite its star-studded cast and intriguing premise, the show failed to make a significant impact and was ultimately canceled after just one season. The decision has left fans disappointed and wondering what could have been.
Doom Patrol Was Doomed By Mergers And Confusion
HBO ended production of Doom Patrol due to the platform’s transition into the comics-only service now called DC Universe Infinite. The decision was made because the show was made exclusively available to HBO Max subscribers and, therefore, no longer fit the platform’s new focus.
“The memories I will take with me from this will be unmeasured,” said one of the show’s stars, Joivan Wade.
The Flash Has Run Out of Time
The Flash was canceled due to declining ratings, high production costs, and the impact of the Warner Bros. merger. Despite being one of the CW’s most popular shows, the network struggled to justify the high budget. The merger also caused uncertainty and led to a shift in priorities.
Grant Gustin, who plays the title character, Flash, said, “It’s been an incredible nearly 10 years of playing this character and getting to be a part of this show.”
