The television grim reaper has already come for a number of Netflix shows in 2026.<\/p>\n
As of this writing, Netflix has canceled 11 shows from its programming lineup, with five more wrapping up their runs this year.<\/p>\n
In a 2023 interview with Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos said the streamer has \u201cnever canceled a successful show.\u201d However, some viewers might disagree. The streaming giant is known for its heavy hand when it comes to cutting promising shows short, as evidenced by fan backlash over the cancellations of series like The OA, Mindhunter<\/em>, and Sense8<\/em>.<\/p>\n Read on for all 16 Netflix shows coming to an end this year.<\/p>\n 01 of 16<\/p>\n Lamar Johnson as Albert Mason, Natalia del Riego as Lilla Belle, Lena Headey as Fiona Nolan, and Nick Robinson as Elias Teller on ‘The Abandons’ In January, Deadline<\/em><\/a> reported that Netflix had decided to end The Abandons,<\/em> a Western series fronted by Lena Headey\u00a0and Gillian Anderson. The series was troubled even before it premiered, with creator Kurt Sutter leaving the production<\/a> weeks before filming wrapped, reportedly due to creative differences between Sutter and Netflix.<\/p>\n Sutter had some choice words for the streamer amid its decision, posting a heated message to Instagram<\/a> that read: \u201cDear Netflix, Next time fear compels you to choose the algorithm over a creator\u2019s vision, remember how that choice unraveled a potentially beautiful project.\u201d<\/p>\n He later deleted that statement and reposted a new one, stating, \u201cThe corporate lawyers have been in touch. And I must heed to binding agreements.\u201d<\/p>\n 02 of 16<\/p>\n Luciane Buchanan as Rose Larkin and Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland on ‘The Night Agent’ On May 4, Netflix announced that the upcoming fourth season of The Night Agent<\/em> would be its last<\/a>. Don’t call it a cancellation, though \u2014 creator and showrunner Shawn Ryan is ending the spy drama on his own terms.<\/p>\n \u201cEver since the initial success of The Night Agent<\/em>, I\u2019ve been obsessed with eventually delivering a proper and thrilling conclusion to the show and to Peter Sutherland\u2019s journey,” Ryan said in a statement.<\/p>\n The third season left fans<\/a> with plenty of questions. Thankfully, they\u2019ll get answers before saying goodbye.<\/p>\n 03 of 16<\/p>\n Jade Chan and Jordyn Taylor Braff on ‘Selling the City’ Premiering in January 2025, Selling the City<\/em> was a spinoff of Netflix\u2019s popular reality series Selling Sunset<\/em>,in which a group of elite real estate agents navigate the competitive market of luxury home-selling in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Selling the City<\/em> took that premise to the East Coast, focusing on agents based in New York City. However, Netflix canceled the show after just one season.<\/p>\n Speaking with PEOPLE<\/a>,<\/em> star Eleonora Srugo said she had no hard feelings about the decision. “I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and for all the people around the world who connected with it,” she said.<\/p>\n 04 of 16<\/p>\n Rodney Dijon as Kingsley Lafleur on ‘Bandi’ A few weeks after it debuted its first season in April, Netflix\u2019s French series Bandi<\/em> was given the axe.<\/p>\n In a statement to French website RCI<\/a>, Netflix said that it was \u201ca difficult decision that was not taken lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n 05 of 16<\/p>\n Contestants on ‘Pop the Balloon,’ Netflix’s live dating show Netflix\u2019s live dating show Pop the Balloon<\/em> will not be returning for a second season, according to <\/a>Deadline<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n The quirky show was based on the YouTube series of the same name and had contestants hold a balloon while being judged by a panel of singles.

The critical and audience reception to it was tremendous, but at the end of the day not nearly enough people watched it. I would\u2019ve loved to deliver on the Future War I had planned in season\u2019s 2 and 3, but I\u2019m also very happy with how it feels contained as is.\u201d<\/p>\n 07 of 16<\/p>\n Kento Yamazaki as Ry\u014dhei Arisu on ‘Alice in Borderland’ Alice in Borderland<\/em> had remained a fairly popular series on Netflix during its three-season run.However, Netflix noted in their \u201cWhat We Watched\u201d<\/a> engagement report for the second half of 2025 that the Japanese sci-fi thriller\u2019s third season would be its last, disappointing fans who were hoping for a continuation to its cliffhanger ending.The series had strong viewership but declining critical and audience ratings, having dropped to a 63% critical score and a 55% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> for season 3.<\/p>\n 08 of 16<\/p>\n Vince Staples as Vince Staples, Scott MacArthur as Officer Boucher, and Arturo Castro as Officer Gutierrez on ‘The Vince Staples Show’ The Vince Staples Show<\/em> fared well with audiences and critics during its two-season run, but it still struggled to find a wider audience and was canceled by Netflix in January 2026.<\/p>\n 09 of 16<\/p>\n Becki Newton as Lorna Crane on ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ The popular legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer<\/em>, based on Michael Connelly\u2019s book series, will end with its fifth season<\/a>, which is currently filming.<\/p>\n Just three months after Netflix dropped season 4, series creator, co-showrunner, and executive producer Ted Humphrey and co-showrunner and executive producer Dailyn Rodriguez released a joint statement to Netflix about their decision: \u201cAll good things must come to an end, but thankfully sometimes how they come to an end is up to us.\u201d<\/p>\n 10 of 16<\/p>\n Meghan Markle on ‘With Love, Megan’ The Duchess of Sussex\u2019s lifestyle show is reportedly not returning.
