The merciless cycle of television life
Every year, new television series are created and old ones disappear. This implacable law of the television industry struck again in 2024, marking the end of dozens of series broadcast on various channels and streaming platforms. Despite quality production, a well-crafted storyline and a talented cast, some series have been abruptly interrupted, generally due to low audiences. Here is a selection of the seven best series canceled in 2024 that deserved another chance.
The best series of 2024 ended prematurely
« The Old Man »despite its critical success and high-profile cast including Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow, was canceled after just two seasons in December 2024. The story of a former CIA agent, played by Bridges, who finds himself hunted by a mysterious assassin, failed to captivate audiences in the long term.
Satirical comedy « Girls5eva »produced by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, suffered the same fate after three seasons. Despite standout performances from Renée Elise Goldsberry and Busy Philipps, the series did not receive the attention it deserved and was canceled in December 2024.
« Kaos »a comedy based on Greek mythology with a star-studded cast including Jeff Goldblum and Billie Piper, was canceled after just one season in October 2024, despite having a notable presence in the top 10 Netflix series for four weeks.
Fans’ dashed hopes
Historical romance « My Lady Jane » seemed to have a bright future thanks to its original plot and its success with critics. Unfortunately, the series was canceled after just one season in August 2024 due to lack of audience.
The moving « Somebody Somewhere » was also canceled in August 2024 after three seasons, leaving fans disappointed and creators surprised by the decision.
Finally, despite rave reviews and a fervent fan base, the supernatural series « Evil » was canceled in February 2024, just before the start of its fourth season. However, the increase in its popularity on Netflix gives hope for a possible resurrection.
Abrupt endings and hopes of renewal
The musical « Schmigadoon! » was canceled in January 2024, when the third season was already written. However, a theatrical performance scheduled for the end of January could offer a second life to the series.
Despite these disappointments, fans can still hope for the return of their favorite series thanks to support campaigns or renewed interest on streaming platforms.
