TV is a cutthroat business – whether it’s cable, streaming or free-to-air. In 2017, a bunch of beloved shows will be bidding adieu to their dwindling fan bases to make room for the next hopeful hit. Here are all the shows that you care about whose days are sadly numbered. Marco Polo, we hardly knew ye. *Sniff*
Most of the shows on the following list were collated by Metacritic based on official statements from networks, studios and streaming giants. Some shows will be given one final season to conclude their stories while others simply won’t return at all.
Here are all of the noteworthy shows that have been consigned to the scrapheap.
- Good Game (ABC): Cancelled.
- Vinyl (HBO): Cancelled.
- Black Sails (Starz): Final season in 2017.
- Agent Carter: Cancelled.
- Incorporated (ScyFy): Cancelled.
- MythBusters (Discovery): Cancelled.
- The Muppets (ABC): Cancelled.
- Beauty & The Beast (CWTV): Cancelled.
- America’s Next Top Model: Cancelled.
- Please Like Me (ABC): Cancelled.

The big losses here (in our humble opinion) are Marco Polo, Reign, Black Flag and Penny Dreadful. We hear Pretty Little Liars had its fans too. My wife will also be devastated about America’s Next Top Model getting canned. Chin up, lass.
Naturally, the void will be filled with a bunch of new properties which you can find at the link below. Whether any of them are any good remains to be seen.
