It’s so disappointing when our favorite show gets canceled, especially when we feel that we haven’t had enough time for the plot and characters to reach their full potential. An internet user recently asked, “Which canceled TV show deserved another season?” Here are the top 23 answers.
Mindhunter
“It is the first series I actually got super upset about being canceled. The story, the actors, the music and the whole show, was so perfect. Shame.”
“True, but it wasn’t exactly canceled; they stopped making it because the show’s creator didn’t want to do it anymore.”
“Mindhunter was what I came here to comment on! I was devastated.”
Firefly
“It must be the first one that everyone came up with after reading the title of the post.”
“I had to scroll too far to find Firefly. I don’t know if it’s just worn out and assumed at this point or if younger Redditors have never heard of it. The potential for a new iconic Sci-Fi world with offshoots was exceptional, but wasted.”
The OA
“Season 1 of The OA was a revelation. I think the creators had some kind of creative dispute with Netflix prior to the completion of S2, so they set themselves on fire as a self-righteous gesture which only resulted in ruining the show’s creative legacy.”
“I know they screwed up a bit, but I feel like the show deserved a proper ending. Season 1 was so good!”
Inside Job
“Inside Job made it two seasons before getting axed on a cliffhanger. I still want to know what happens. It was so sharp and well-executed. I hope it will get sold and picked up somewhere else, but that seems unlikely.”
“Not even two seasons! Season One was divided into two parts. I loved it, especially the chemistry between the characters. It was something special.”
Teen Titans
“It’s sad because every character got one season as the focus. Season 1 was Robin, season 2 was Terra, season 3 was Cyborg, season 4 was Raven, and season 5 was Beast Boy. Perfectly set up to have a ‘Starfire’ 6th season, but we never got it.”
“It really was such a unique show for the time. Unfortunately that they no longer air anything from the original series or movie.”
Rome
“Yes. Rome! It was Game of Thrones before Game of Thrones.”
“I wanted to say this. I’ve also always wished for a Vorenus and Pullo spin-off. Those two were my favorite part of the series.”
Reaper
“I hate that they don’t cast Tyler Labine in more comedy stuff; Reaper was a fantastic showcase of his hilarity.”
“They wanted The Vampire Diaries in that time slot. I still hate them for canceling it.”
Dead Like Me
“Ellen Muth was great in it, and it’s sad she didn’t do much afterward.”
“There was so much more they could’ve done with it. For such a high-concept show, it did a great job of taking the time to flesh all the characters out.”
Jericho
“Every time, I come just to upvote or add Jericho. I hate CBS for that.”
“This would be one of the best remakes of our time. Not just season one and two but seasons 3, 4, 5, and 6. Let’s see how the country is rebuilt. I would watch every last second of this. I think this show was ahead of its time, and it was only canceled due to a writer’s strike, and that sucks.”
Venture Bros
“That show was decades ahead of its time. The Boys, Invincible, Harley Quinn, Doom Patrol, etc. All these shows deal with deconstructing the superhero mythos, and the Venture Brothers show was doing this way back in 2004. At least we’re getting a movie.”
“A pitch-perfect parody of old cartoons that went on to skewer every element of pop culture while maintaining well-written, context-driven comedy.”
Travelers
“That should never have been canceled. They could have taken that in so many directions. I loved the characters.”
“First order of business when we crack time travel is to un-cancel that show.”
“I’d love to see a season where it’s done from The Factions’ perspective.”
I Am Not Okay With This
“It had so much potential, not to mention they left so much unanswered at the end of the season purposely so they could make a second one.”
“This was the cancelation that made me give up on Netflix. I just can’t get excited by anything on their platform at this point because I know whatever I get interested in, no matter how good it is, it will get dropped without a conclusion.”
Freaks And Geeks
“We all WANTED another season, but I think a year in the life was absolutely perfect. Everyone got a little arc, and we said goodbye.”
“One season wasn’t enough. The writers knew they weren’t getting renewed before they finished the first season, so they wrote the final episodes as a goodbye to each character. They also knew they could push the limits a bit without any repercussions.”
Dark Matter
“What happened after that cliffhanger? It was getting better and better. Sci-fi channel couldn’t stand doing actual sci-fi!”
“I loved Dark Matter and just got into Stargate (also Mallozzi) recently.”
“That show was a slow burn for me. Just as I fell in love with it, it got canceled.”
Pushing Daisies
“Definitely this one. I loved the series and wanted to see where it was going.”
“I’ve just come to accept that anything Bryan Fuller makes, I’m going to love and then be heartbroken when it’s canceled too soon.”
“I thought I dreamt up that show. No one talked about it, it ended suddenly, and I have no idea where I can watch it. It was a crazy dream where I watched this amazing show.”
John Constantine
“Yeah, Matt Ryan was a great fit for the character.”
“The Arrowverse TV shows were often poor, but I am glad Matt Ryan was at least able to keep playing the character across those other shows. He was an excellent John Constantine.”
“I know, but at least he’s still Constantine in animation.”
Almost Human
“It was such a great concept, and Karl Urban is always great. Unfortunately, it got Fox’d like so many other shows.”
“Quality writing, well-acted, and really good production value — it’s a shame this show didn’t get the love it deserved.”
“This show was so good. I was so intrigued at the end. Can’t believe it got canceled.”
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
“The reason I personally would like a third season is that the cliffhanger was so tasty. Also, I want more Rowdy 3, Alan Tudyk, and Tyler Labine.”
“They captured Douglas Adam’s whimsical nonsense so perfectly in that show. I feel like the second series went completely off the rails, but I still loved it.”
The Owl House
“It was shortened to only three specials. Since the specials are still good, albeit rushed, it makes me want to see what they could have done with the full season.”
“The first season was so good. I’m very disappointed they turned the world upside down and introduced a massive force of chaos with only three episodes left instead of closing off some really good leads they had started.”
Better Off Ted
“The show was a brilliant satire of corporate business that was far too funny. Amazing cast, incredibly quotable, ended far too soon.”
“The episode where they installed motion detectors for everything that didn’t see black people, so they had to assign every black person a white person to open doors, then because of diversity rules they had to hire more black people, was phenomenal.”
Farscape
“The miniseries happily wrapped up the major arcs, but there’s so much we were denied. Rygel’s return to Hyneria, an ultimate showdown with the Nebari, a proper reunion between D’Argo and his son. You can definitely tell there were a few things that got rushed through.”
“Yes, it is a satisfying ending, but I always think of what could have been.”
Carnivale
“I will never forgive them for canceling Carnivale. That was a rough time in my life, and watching the next episode with my dad was absolutely something I looked forward to.”
“For sure, it was just starting to really take off and had so much potential.”
“It’s been almost 20 years since they canceled that show, and I’m still bitter about it.”
Deadwood
“The movie was fun and nostalgic, but too much time had passed.”
“It was too funny. The scene where Al is trying to get someone’s name from Woo is hilarious. It doesn’t hear the difference between ‘who’ and ‘Woo.’ The face that Ian McShane makes totally cracks me up.”
“HBO couldn’t justify the insane cost of making it on location in the Dust Bowl.”
