6 TV shows that definitely won’t be back in 2023

Warrior Nun

Oh Warrior Nun, the fans fought so hard for you.

The comic book TV series premiered on Netflix in 2020 and became a bigger hit than many thought it would, entertaining the world at a time when they were craving some much-needed escapism. The thought of a second season was very exciting indeed.

Unfortunately, in many people’s minds, Netflix dropped the ball with season 2, waiting too long to release it and then not promoting it to the extent that it should have been. In spite of that, the second season did find its way into the Top 10 most-watched shows on the service in the weeks after its release, peaking in the Top 5. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to save it as Netflix unjustly cancelled it after just two seasons.

The fans are continuing to fight for it, and we’re hoping that they will succeed. But if season 3 does happen in the future, it wouldn’t premiere on screens this year.

Every Arrowverse show except The Flash

The Arrowverse was the premiere form of superhero television for close to a decade, starting a wave of comic book and superhero TV shows that have changed the landscape indefinitely. For that reason, it’s truly painful to be a fan of this shared universe of superheroes in 2023 simply because it’s about to come to an end.

While Arrow, Black Lightning, and Supergirl were afforded the chance to end properly over the course of the past three years, Batwoman, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Arrowverse offshoot Stargirl were all canceled last year as part of the network’s sale to Nexstar. The new owners want cheaper programming that they can benefit from instead of expensive shows that the studios benefit from when they become international juggernauts.

The exception to the rule is The Flash, the Arrowverse’s last standing show and The CW’s biggest hit ever, which bows out with its ninth and final season this year (and brings an end to the Arrowverse).
