Es el círculo de la vida: los nuevos programas de TV nos hacen felices y los programas de TV cancelados hacen que los fanáticos escriban cartas enojadas a las redes (algunos se van antes de su hora o cierran de manera natural finalizando). Este año parece tener más cancelaciones de grandes series de televisión de lo habitual, con anuncios de favoritos de larga data como Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Black-ish y The Walking Dead llegando a sus últimas temporadas. El hacha también sigue cayendo: NBC acaba de cancelar Manifest y la lista de reproducción extraordinaria de Zoey.
No son solo los programas de horario estelar los que están terminando. Conan está colgando su sombrero de noche después de más de 10 años en TBS. Ellen DeGeneres está cerrando su programa de entrevistas diurno después de una última temporada 19, que comenzará a finales de este año. Y la transmisión no es inmune; un montón de programas de Netflix se cancelan o finalizan este año.
Se puede culpar a la pandemia de algunas cancelaciones, pero otros programas terminan porque sus creadores lo planearon de esta manera. Issa Rae guiará a Insecure a un final de serie indudablemente satisfactorio, mientras que Liz Feldman tomó una página del libro de Phoebe Waller-Bridge para cerrar Dead to Me. Y Ozark temporada 4 quiere salir con una nota alta con un final explosivo. Estos son los programas de TV y las series cancelados más importantes que finalizarán en 2021, además de otros 9 programas que estamos esperando saber exactamente terminarán. Es probable que algunos concluyan en 2022, y otros podrían terminar antes.

El drama sobrenatural fue el último intento de recuperar la magia de Lost, con un gran reparto y tramas de caja misteriosa. ¡Incluso involucró un avión! Manifest siguió a los pasajeros y la tripulación de un vuelo que reaparecen repentinamente después de ser dados por muertos durante más de cinco años. El creador Jeff Rake ha declarado anteriormente que tenía un plan de seis temporadas para el programa, que los fanáticos no podrán ver a menos que otra cadena o streamer lo recoja.
Se ha cantado la última nota sobre la dramaturgia musical, que siguió a la programadora Zoey (Jane Levy) después de que misteriosamente gana la capacidad de escuchar los pensamientos más íntimos de sus amigos, familiares y compañeros.-trabajadores en forma de canciones populares. Los números musicales incluyeron”Shake It Off”de Taylor Swift,”Everybody Hurts”de REM y”Help”de The Beatles, entre otros. La temporada 2 terminó con un gran suspenso, que podría resolverse si otro medio retoma el programa (aunque no será Peacock, ya que ya pasaron). Jupiter’s Legacy
Netflix lanzó el primer proyecto desde la adquisición de la marca de cómics hasta críticas desalentadoras y números de audiencia aparentemente bajos, porque la epopeya de superhéroes de gran presupuesto sobre familias poderosas disfuncionales no continuará-al menos en esa encarnación (un spin-off de anime está por venir). Ser propietario de una propiedad intelectual no significa que tenga una franquicia en sus manos. Atípico (Netflix)
Netflix ha desarrollado el desafortunado hábito de finalizar programas después de tres o cuatro temporadas, sin importar lo buenos que sean, y Atypical es un excelente ejemplo. El drama ganador de Peabody presentó una versión humorística y matizada de un joven con autismo que se abre camino por el mundo, no la historia habitual de un programa de televisión. Como dijo la creadora Robia Rashid en un comunicado:”Espero que el legado de Atypical sea que se sigan oyendo más voces desconocidas”. The Bold Type (Forma libre)
Como muchos otros programas, The Bold Type tuvo que acortar su temporada el año pasado cuando la pandemia lo obligó a cerrar la producción. Freeform lo trae de vuelta para una quinta y última edición, que tendrá que terminar con algunos hilos pendientes, como Jane asumiendo una historia que podría dañar la carrera de la editora en jefe de Scarlet, Jacqueline, la implosión del matrimonio de Sutton y la participación de Kat. con un conservador acérrimo, además de ofrecer un final de serie que satisfaga a los fanáticos. Brooklyn Nine-Nine (NBC)
NBC anunció que está cerrando el libro sobre la comedia policial, protagonizada por Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Melissa Fumero, Terry Crews y más como detectives en el 99th Precinct en Brooklyn. NBC transmitirá los últimos 10 episodios en dobles títulos a partir de agosto durante los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio. ¡Esperemos que haya tiempo para otro atraco de Halloween! Castlevania (Netflix)
La serie de anime de Netflix llegará a su fin con Castlevania temporada 4 concluyendo la saga del clan Belmont que intenta acabar con Drácula para siempre. Pero los fanáticos deben animarse: Netflix está haciendo una serie secuela ambientada en el universo Castlevania que se centra en Richter Belmont, un descendiente de Trevor y Sypha, y Maria Renard durante la Revolución Francesa. Conan (TBS)
Después de 28 años en la televisión nocturna, Conan O’Brien se despedirá, aunque no desaparecerá por completo. El programa de entrevistas TBS de O’Brien concluirá al final de la décima temporada, pero seguirá presentando los especiales de viaje de Conan Without Borders para TBS y lanzará una nueva serie semanal de variedades en HBO Max.”En 1993, Johnny Carson me dio el mejor consejo de mi carrera:’Lo antes posible, acceda a una plataforma de transmisión'”, bromeó O’Brien en un comunicado. Inseguro (HBO)
Issa Rae started her HBO comedy on her own terms, and she’s ending it that way, too. “We always planned to tell this story through five seasons,” Rae said when HBO announced the show was coming to an end. The last outing for Issa, Molly, Lawrence and crew will air sometime in late 2021.The Irregulars (Netflix)
The Irregulars seemed destined to be a long-lasting part of Netflix’s burgeoning Sherlock Holmes-verse, which found initial success with Enola Holmes. However, the case has been closed on the fantasy drama featuring the Baker Street urchins who work for Dr. Watson. Theirs is one mystery that will remain unsolved. Recen Judge Judy (syndicated)
The courtroom will soon be adjourned, when Judge Judy bangs the gavel one last time on her syndicated series some time in 2021. But don’t worry about missing her brand of tough, no-nonsense advice because reruns will continue to air. Plus, Judy Sheindlin will star in a new show, Judy Justice, set to air in 2022.Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E!)
E! has aired the antics of Klan Kardashian since 2007 (!), including all of their sibling tiffs, roller coaster romantic relationships and the introduction of the next generation. Now, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kris, Kyle and Kendall (and uh, Rob) are taking their business to Hulu, no doubt for a huge paycheck. The Kardashians are many things, but they know how to sell their brand.Last Man Standing (Fox)
Last Man Standing won’t be the last show standing. Star Tim Allen and the rest of the cast will bid viewers farewell when the ninth and final season concludes on May 20. The series (which started off on ABC, the moved to Fox) flipped around the premise of Allen’s classic sitcom Home Improvement by making him the father of three daughters. The series finale welcomed back Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart) as one of those daughters, who came home for a visit.MacGyver (CBS)
CBS is canceling more shows than ever, including Mom (see below) and the MacGyver reboot starring Lucas Till. The latter became the subject of controversy last year when the network fired executive producer Peter Lenkov for creating a toxic work environment; Till himself talked publicly about enduring verbal abuse, bullying, and body-shaming on the set. It looks no amount of MacGyver-ing could fix those problems and the show ended with its fifth season.Mom (CBS)
The writing was on the wall when Anna Faris left the sitcom last year, but CBS made Mom’s cancellation official in February. Still, Emmy winner Allison Janney told James Corden she wishes the writers had “more time to ramp up to the ending.” Comedy impresario Chuck Lorre himself penned the series finale.NCIS: New Orleans (CBS)
While it feels like all of the NCIS shows could go on and on forever, even they are not immortal. After experiencing dwindling ratings, CBS decided to close the New Orleans outpost (and move on to a more tropical location with NCIS: Hawaii). Scott Bakula and team said goodbye and let the good times roll one last time on May 23.Pose (FX)
Always leave them wanting more, right? The history-making LGBTQ+ series is ending earlier than anyone might have thought, considering its many accolades (particularly for star Billy Porter). But co-creator Ryan Murphy said,”We got to tell the exact story we wanted, as we wanted to tell it.”The abbreviated final season jumped forward to 1994, when AIDS becomes the leading cause of death for younger Americans. Shameless (Showtime)
Goodbye, Gallaghers, you had a great run. Life will go on for Frank, Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, etc. but the edgy, foul-mouthed family dramedy closed the curtains on viewers. We’ll miss William H. Macy pontificating Frank’s drunk but erudite soliloquies, Carl and Debbie’s many scrapes and Lip’s attempt to make a better life for his son.Shrill (Hulu)
Aidy Bryant has been pulling double duty during the pandemic, making a few appearances on Saturday Night Live while filming the final season of her Hulu comedy. She can rest from all the jet-setting now, since”Annie’s journey comes to a beautiful end,” Bryant said of the finale. We’re sorry to see Shrill go, but can’t wait to see more of one of SNL’s best players. Superstore (NBC)
The underrated workplace comedy, set in a big box retail store, was just as funny and observant as iconic NBC shows like The Office and Parks and Recreation. The writers’ approach to incorporating the coronavirus pandemic was truly genius stuff. The series finale, which aired on March 25, brought back America Ferrera for a final arc that was sweet and satisfying.Wynonna Earp (Syfy)
The gun-toting great-great-granddaughter of Wyatt Earp is going out in style. The series finale, which aired April 9, was “the most heart-filled episode from start to finish that I’ve ever seen,” star Melanie Scrofano told TV Insider. That included a much-anticipated wedding, some witchy shenanigans and a possible reunion between the titular character and vampire-no-more Doc Holliday.Younger (Paramount Plus)
The comedy has departed its home, TV Land, for the new environs of Paramount Plus. But the antics — and clothes — are just as wacky as ever. Liza Miller (Sutton Foster) isn’t pretending to be a millennial anymore, but her work and love lives are as complicated as ever. The final season saw Liza coming into her own as an editor and making a difficult decision about her romantic relationships.Shows getting canceled after 2021
Dead to Me (Netflix)
Creator Liz Feldman’s decision to end her Netflix show after three seasons was inspired by the short run of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag. It “felt like the right amount,” she told Deadline. Stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini will return to wrap up the story of two friends brought together by murder. Dear White People (Netflix)
The dramedy about Black students navigating culture and race relations at a fictional Ivy League college has earned raves from critics, even if it never became a full-on sensation. Creator Justin Simien will drop 10 more episodes before departing for more high-profile projects; he’s reportedly attached to a Lando Star Wars series and is making a Haunted Mansion remake for Disney.The Ellen DeGeneres Show (syndicated)
The dancing queen of daytime is giving up her crown. Ellen DeGeneres is choosing to end her show after nearly two decades, telling The Hollywood Reporter,”When you’re a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged — and as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore.”The talk show’s end comes after it was dogged by accusations of a toxic workplace culture. The final season will kick off this fall.Black-ish (ABC)
Black-ish may be closing its doors after eight seasons, but several windows are opening. The ABC family comedy has already launched two spinoffs (Grown-ish and Mixed-ish) and is prepping another (Old-ish). But it’s still bittersweet to await the final installment of the flagship, following the antics of Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross as heads of the Johnson family. Lucifer (Netflix)
Lucifer has come back from the dead so many times, it’s easy not to believe that the sixth season is the end. The show was canceled by Fox, saved by Netflix, canceled by Netflix after season 5 and then un-canceled for one more hurrah. But this time, everyone swears this is the “FINAL final” season. With filming already completed, fans could get their last devilish delight by the end of 2021.Ozark (Netflix)
The award-winning crime drama will conclude with a super-sized season, which “means super sized problems for the Byrdes,” according to star Jason Bateman. Ozark season 4 will have 14 episodes split into two halves; the first batch has already completed filming and could drop on Netflix in late 2021.Supergirl (The CW)
Supergirl is taking her final flight on The CW. The show starring Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El is packing the cape in after six seasons (one of which aired on CBS). Benoist has promised that fans will get a “great ending,” while co-showrunner Jessica Queller says it will be “emotional” and feature plenty of familiar faces.This Is Us (NBC)
Stock up on tissues, because the Pearsons are saying farewell soon — and you just know the tears will flow. The NBC drama is wrapping up in 2022 after six seasons, which was creator Dan Fogelman’s plan all along. Heading into the final chapter, we expect high emotion from Sterling K. Brown, Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia and the rest of the cast.The Walking Dead (AMC)
Who else thought that AMC’s drama, like the zombies that populate it, would never die? Until its middle years, The Walking Dead was a massive hit that went on to spawn two spinoffs and possible more. But more and more cast members have left (including star Andrew Lincoln) and ratings have fallen. For everything there is a final season and the time has come for this one-time behemoth, with The Walking Dead season 11 being its last run.
