The Franchise: Everyone loves a satirical workplace sitcom, but unfortunately, they didn’t love The Franchise—which spoofed the behind-the-scenes chaos of a big-budget superhero movie production—quite enough. The show was canceled after just one season.
The Righteous Gemstones: A true IYKYK created by Danny McBride, The Righteous Gemstones starred McBride, Adam DeVine, John Goodman, Edi Patterson, and Cassidy Freeman as a family of ultra-wealthy televangelists and megachurch pastors. Think a sort of goofier Succession with an evangelist spin. Its fourth and final season ends in May 2025.

The Sex Lives of College Girls: Mindy Kaling’s series about, well, the sex lives of college girls, comes to an end after three seasons, with our titular “girls” still in their sophomore year.

The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin: Described as an “irreverent retelling of the 18th-century highwayman’s life,” the British series starred Noel Fielding as the titular Dick.

Frasier: The 2023 revival of Frasier, which was itself a spin-off of Cheers, was canceled after two seasons. It seems that, even with Kelsey Grammer returning for the titular role, there was only so much juice left in this 40-year-old character.
