Netflix is ending a total of 17 shows in 2026, with 12 cancellations and five series concluding with final seasons, according to the streaming giant’s latest programming decisions. The cancellations include The Abandons and Terminator Zero, both of which were axed after their first seasons.
Among the 12 canceled shows are The Vince Staples Show, Pop the Balloon Live, Selling the City, With Love Meghan, Alice in Borderland, Class, Miss Governor, Strip Law, What’s in the Box, and F1: The Academy. The five shows ending with final seasons are Alpha Males, Breathless, The Night Agent, The Lincoln Lawyer, and Survival of the Thickest.
Strip Law creator Cullen Crawford revealed his series’ cancellation earlier this week, writing on BlueSky that he remained grateful for the experience. Days later, news broke that the Neil Patrick Harris-hosted game show What’s in the Box would not return for another season.
