3 Shows That Were Just Canceled (& 3 More That Are Ending Unexpectedly)

Fans are seriously miffed about 'The Hunting Party'

Fans were not happy last month when four high-quality shows got the ax. Fortunately, six new shows got renewed for a second season, including The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins and Margo's Got Money Troubles. So it wasn't all bad news.

Buuuuut, it's a new month, which means more bad news: three fan-favorite shows were just canceled and three more were revealed to be ending unexpectedly. (For those who think those sound like the same thing, the canceled shows won't be getting a proper ending, while the unexpectedly concluding shows have a chance to wrap things up.)

Here, the shows that we'll unwillingly have to say goodbye to (cue the demands for a streaming service to come along and save them).

1. The Hunting Party - Canceled

This crime thriller follows an FBI profiler, played by Melissa Roxburgh, as she tries to track down the country’s most dangerous serial killers who escaped from a secret government prison. I was a huge fan of season one, but my interest waned in season two (which seems to have been a common thread with viewers). Sadly, this week, NBC pulled the plug for good. However, there is a chance the show could be revived by another streaming service like Netflix (which is exactly what happened to another Melissa Roxburgh show, Manifest).

2. The Lincoln Lawyer - Ending

For those who have yet to watch, the show follows a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who runs his practice from the back of his car (a Lincoln) instead of a traditional office. The good news? There will be one more season of The Lincoln Lawyer. The bad news? That is it for Mickey and company—and fans are not happy. The co-showrunners revealed the series will get a proper sendoff that "will provide the satisfying finale Mickey Haller deserves."

3. Emily in Paris - Ending

It's the end of an era for this romantic comedy-drama starring Lily Collins and a slew of unforgettable looks. Collins revealed in a social media post, "After six unforgettable years of playing Emily Cooper, I'm here to share that this upcoming sixth season will be our final." Filming is already underway for the last season and, fortunately, it seems like Emily will be returning to her Parisian roots after last season's Italian detour.

4. Going Dutch - Canceled

After two seasons, it seems that this Dennis Leary-led comedy has gotten the chop. The move from Fox isn't super surprising as the show was "on the bubble" (a term that means not in great shape for a renewal) earlier this year. I'd also say it wasn't surprising since I'd literally never heard of the show until I read that it was canceled. (Sorry, Dennis.)

5. Euphoria - Ending

In a really weird move, HBO and the creators of Euphoria timed their announcement that season three would be the last with the actual season three finale, giving fans little time to prepare themselves. It shouldn't be too shocking, as the cast has kinda gotten too famous for the show (Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi probably have bigger projects in the works). At the very least, the end of season three/the series was pretty definitive (at least for certain high-profile characters...).

6. So You Think You Can Dance - Canceled

Sure, it's been almost two years since So You Think You Can Dance graced the airwaves. But it was only recently that the Fox Entertainment CEO revealed we wouldn't be getting any more: "There’s no plans to order another season." Ouch. After 18 seasons, you'd think it might get a proper farewell season—or at least make it to a historic season 20. Alas, we'll have to start calling it "So You Think You Got Canceled."
