2025 has been brutal when it comes to our favorite TV shows getting canceled.
Netflix cut ties with Girls5eva after saving it from cancellation. The musical comedy initially premiered on Peacock in 2021 and followed four women who were part of a girl group. After becoming a one-hit-wonder, the former friends reunited later in life to try to find musical success again.
Girls5eva was renewed for a second season but Peacock didn’t pick up more seasons. The show moved to Netflix for season 3, which was ultimately its final season.
Sara Bareilles, Busy Philipps, Paula Pell and Renée Elise Goldsberry made up the show’s main cast. After its second cancellation, Philipps released an emotional statement.
“I am forever grateful for this incredible show and these girls that became my sisters5eva, for Netflix giving us a chance to sing together a little bit longer and for everyone at Universal and Peacock who rooted so hard for our show,” the actress wrote via Instagram. “And of course the genius of Meredith and Jeff and Eric and my patron saint Tina Fey.”
2025 is a big year for TV — but which shows do we definitely know are coming back for more seasons? Apple TV+ surprised viewers by renewing Bad Monkey after the ending left the show’s future unclear. Based on the novel of the same name by Carl Hiaasen, Bad Monkey follows former police detective Andrew […]
She continued, “I honestly don’t know how or what i would be without this show and the endless joy it brought me in the darkest time of my life. i really really love what i do. and sometimes it feels almost impossible. anyway, isn’t that just like everything good in life? love you 5eva❤️.”
Apple TV+’s Sunny was another major TV loss. Based on the 2018 novel The Dark Manual, Sunny starred Rashida Jones as an American woman living in Japan who gets gifted a domestic robot after her husband and son vanished in a plane crash.
“I wish there was a little bit more awareness about our show. Not gonna lie,” Jones told The Hollywood Reporter in September 2024 about the reception to her now-canceled show. “I think [Sunny] is finding its audience because people seem to like it and a lot of people talk to me about it. What [Apple] do have is they have really good taste, and they do make really good shows.”
S.W.A.T., Found and FBI are among the shows that fans are mourning in 2025. CBS put viewers through the wringer with S.W.A.T., which premiered in 2017 and aired six seasons before it was declared season 7 would be its last. The network ultimately reversed that decision and S.W.A.T. returned for season 8 but the celebration […]
The actress credited the streaming service for allowing a weekly release. “I know it’s old school and not everybody does it, but I do think that [staggered release] format lends itself to the show nicely,” Jones continued. “I’m sure there’s some people who are waiting to start the show when all of [the episodes] are out, because they’re used to that pace. But I do feel like there’s a lot of little things that are dropped along the way that you want to maybe sit with for a little bit before you plunge into the end.”
Jones was also asked about the questions that still need to get answered.
“That is very much the hope and it’s kind of set up that way, which I don’t think we’re spoiling anything for anybody by saying there’s things you’re going to want to know at the end,” she added. “Did you feel like you were left hanging, did you feel like you were satisfied as well?”
