Well 2024 really has been quite the year for television. It was a big one in general but, with a number of movies delayed until 2025, it was generally television's moment to shine. And, as we have seen throughout many years before, television knows how to shine.
This was the year that brought with it the return of juggernauts like House of the Dragon, Heartstopper, Squid Game, Outer Banks, and more, ensuring that the internet was always abuzz with some major developments. The same could be said for HBO's The Penguin, a thrilling new chapter of Matt Reeves' The Batman Epic Crime Saga that captivated audiences for its eight-episode run.
Marvel Studios also got back in the game this year, with a promising start with its first ever binge-style series Echo before it then caught everyone's attention with the critically-acclaimed X-Men '97 - the long-awaited sequel series and revival of X-Men: The Animated Series. And then it went out on another high note with the now-Golden Globe nominated Agatha All Along - the much-anticipated spinoff of the Emmy-winning WandaVision. And that's not even taking into account the third and final season of Marvel's What If...?.
Unfortunately, there were some undue cancellations this year too, as beloved shows such as Dead Boy Detectives, The Acolyte, Chucky and That '90s Show were prematurely ended by their respective networks, while The CW's most-watched shows Walker and Superman and Lois concluded too early, too. And that's not even scratching the surface of it, once again highlighting how - in this era of constant television and limitless choice - cancellations are potentially more likely than ever.
As we look ahead to 2025, here are some more shows that are in danger of facing cancellation. From having their plug pulled prematurely to final-season renewals, let's kick things off with a fan-favorite that may fall to a new shared universe.
