Television networks are currently shaping their lineups for the 2026-2027 season, which unfortunately means several shows have been canceled or are concluding as their current seasons wrap up this spring.
NBC's Canceled Series
NBC has confirmed that eight television series will not be returning. Among them, 'The Hunting Party' was canceled after two seasons, as reported by Deadline on Tuesday. The studio behind the show, Universal Television, is seeking a new home for the procedural drama at another network or streaming service. The series starred Melissa Roxburgh as an FBI special agent leading a team to track down criminals.
Talk Show Endings
Earlier this year, NBC canceled three talk shows: 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' 'Karamo,' and 'The Steve Wilkos Show.' Clarkson's show ended after seven seasons, with the host deciding to leave to spend more time with her children. 'Karamo' concluded after its fifth season, following host Karamo Brown's departure from 'Queer Eye.' 'The Steve Wilkos Show,' hosted by the former security director of 'The Jerry Springer Show,' wrapped after 19 seasons, though reruns will continue in the fall.
Drama Series Cancellations
'Law & Order: Organized Crime,' featuring Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler, was canceled after five seasons. Meloni shared a heartfelt video on Instagram, thanking fans for giving Stabler 'life and longevity.' 'Brilliant Minds,' starring Zachary Quinto as a gifted neurologist with face blindness, ended after two seasons. According to Deadline, it was the lowest-rated drama on NBC's linear lineup.
Other Cancellations
The mockumentary cheerleading series 'Stumble' lasted only one season. The show featured Jenn Lyon, Kristin Chenoweth, Taran Killam, Arianna Davis, and Jarrett Austin Brown. Additionally, two Hollywood news programs, 'Access Hollywood' and 'Access Daily,' were canceled. 'Access Hollywood' had been on the air for 30 seasons.
