Show That’s Been Cancelled, Renewed, Rebooted or Revived In 2022

There are several landmark series ending in 2022, including black-ish, This Is Us, and The Walking Dead, as well as a slew of others that were abruptly cancelled as broadcast networks prepared for their new fall schedules.

The Boys

The Boys has been renewed for a fourth season by Prime Video, following a record-breaking season 3 premiere weekend for the superhero show. The Boys’ global audience increased by 17 percent from season 2 to season 3 in the first three days of its third season, and by 234 percent from season 1. On Friday, June 3, The Boys released the first three episodes of Season 3. New episodes are released every Friday until the season finale on July 8. The eight-episode season is available exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories around the world.

What We Do In the Shadows

What We Do In the Shadows, a mockumentary about vampire roommates and the human who somehow stays around, has been renewed for a fifth and sixth season. Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Mark Proksch, and Harvey Guillén star in the Emmy-nominated series, which is based on the feature film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi.

The Good Fight

The Good Fight, a political and legal satire-drama on Paramount+, will end with its upcoming sixth season. The show, which stars Christine Baranski as her well-dressed attorney, Diane Lockhart, from The Good Wife, and Audra McDonald as Diane’s sometimes-friend, sometimes-rival attorney Liz Reddick, is known for tackling important political and social issues such as #MeToo and the coronavirus pandemic from an extremely leftist perspective. The final season will be no exception, with a focus on Roe v. Wade, voting rights, and Cold War aggressions. It will premiere on September 8th.

Made for Love

Made for Love has reached its conclusion. According to Deadline, HBO Max has cancelled the dark romantic comedy series after two seasons. Season 2 concluded on May 19 and will be the series finale.

Schmigadoon!

Schmigadoon!, Apple TV+’s hit AFI Award-winning musical comedy series, has been renewed for a second season, with new original musical numbers from creator and executive producer Cinco Paul.

Archive 81

Despite critical acclaim, the Netflix horror series — about a video archivist who restores damaged videotapes and becomes entangled in a troubling mystery about a missing director and a demonic — only lasted one season.

Black-ish

After eight seasons and dozens of awards and nominations, black-ish came to an end. Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson star as the parents of a Black family living in an affluent, mostly white neighbourhood in Kenya Barris’ series. Class, colorism, the reappropriation of the N-word, white feminism, the rise of white nationalism during and after the 2016 presidential election, and other sensitive issues have been addressed in the lighthearted comedy.

Manifest

NBC’s decision to cancel Manifest after three seasons in June 2021 sparked outrage among fans who feared they would never learn how Flight 828 went down or what happened to everyone on that doomed plane. However, after Manifest spent weeks atop Netflix’s Top 10 Rankings, the streaming service announced on August 28 that it would renew the show for a 20-episode fourth and final season. The season will be released in multiple parts as a Netflix exclusive (which means fans may not get the final episodes until after 2022). Hopefully, the passengers on Flight 828 have a happy ending as well.
