The preceding week has been a little brutal : several darling genre TV shows have been canceled , others teeter on the verge of the abyss , and a few promising pilots were n’t picked up to serial publication . In the age of societal media — and the fact that Brooklyn Nine - Nine wasrescued by NBC — some Jehovah and fans are rallying to preserve their beloved shows , while others seem all too ready to move on . Here ’s a list of all the show that have been canceled , declined , or remain at risk .
Canceled
The Expanse—Syfy
Last week , Syfy foretell that the current third season of The Expanse would be the last one on the meshwork , effectively canceling the show unless it can feel some other venue . The showis being shoppedto other networks , though there have n’t been any announcement yet .

They ’ve also got the support of superfans like Felicia Day andPatton Oswalt , as well asGeorge R.R. Martin , who ’s go on a scifi serial of his own withSyfy ’s coming Nightflyers .
The X-Files—Fox
Well , we kind of figured this would happen . After Gillian Anderson announcedshe would not be returningfor another season of The X - Files , the series was effectivelydead in the water — at least in Jehovah Chris Carter ’s centre . While Fox did n’t apply the frightening “ canceled ” during a group discussion call led by CEO Gary Newman , it was made decipherable that there were “ no program ” for another time of year of the series . Though areporttangentially connected the news to her planned exit , Anderson had another take on the situation .
Well Michael , the true statement is … after exit of 77 % of viewership.https://t.co/WyaHQnR3gt

Carter ’s been pretty quiet about the news , and any hashtags for saving The X - Files have less than a XII participants , with several of them speaking ironically . Clearly , this is a serial publication that people are ready to see retired .
Last Man on Earth—Fox
The post - apocalyptical comedy has been agrowing hitwith audiences , yet Fox has choose to take out the stopple , cancelling the serial after its fourth time of year . Showrunner and superstar Will Forte hasexpressed sadnessthat the series is finish , but it might not be over yet .

The show ’s creators have give no word that they ’re actively frequent the serial publication to other connection , but it sure looks probable . In summation to participating in the Twitter campaigns , co - showrunner Ildy Modrovich recently twinge that “ goodnight is not goodbye , ” promising to fight for Lucifer .

In the meantime , there is the motion of the two“bonus ” episodesthat were filmed with season three , originally planned to be let go of sometime in the fall before ( the now - defunct ) time of year four . In an interview withTV Line , co - showrunner Joe Henderson said that Fox still plan to air the two episodes , but has n’t yet said when or on what program .
Marvel’s Inhumans—ABC
This was a surprise to absolutely no one . After the dismal reviews and rating , Marvel ’s Inhumans wascanceledafter just eight episodes , months after the time of year finale . A few lover have been rallying to pull through the serial publication , but it looks like most citizenry postulate are ready to put it behind them , with cast member tweeting out their hold and thanks .

Once Upon a Time—ABC
After many actors divide from Once Upon a Time at the remainder of time of year six , ABC made a surprising movie and approve a soft reboot , which centered around an quondam Henry Mills ( now played by Andrew J. West ) with a few of the original characters regress . Whileinitially hopeful , the series eventually fell back into former habits , and could n’t survive its move to Friday night . Earlier this year , ABCannouncedit would n’t be picking up Once Upon a sentence for an 8th time of year .

There are a few fans trying to muster up a effort to#SaveOnceUponaTime , but the mantle has closed on the show for good , with everyone involve give consultation about how this Friday ’s serial close is the end , for real this time . And it ’s a good thing , too . There ’s a oecumenical feeling of fatigue among fans , as well as alleviation that the show is at long last over .
The Exorcist—Fox
This one stumble lover pretty hard since the show had just begin to strike its step — even as itstruggledto secure an consultation in its Friday night time slot . There is apetition(with less than 5,000 signatures ) and some hashtag military campaign out there for The exorciser to get picked up elsewhere , with player Ben Daniels putting in a honorable conflict . But sadly , it does n’t look like anything ’s going to happen with this one .
Showrunner Jeremy Slater tweeted his ( reverential and tolerant ) regrets about the series cancellation , which hepredictedwould happen back in December after news of the potential Disney / Fox hand began to cull up steam . But he ’s currently working onNetflix ’s Umbrella Academyand has give no indicant that he plans on shopping The Exorcist to other net .
Ash vs. Evil Dead—Starz
After three seasons , the revulsion drollery base on Sam Raimi ’s cult - beloved malign Dead movie serial slayed its net Deadite and sprayed its final hose of microscope stage blood . Thoughfans were bummed , there ’ll be no attempt to add the back show elsewhere , and that includes the big screen . Star Bruce Campbell , whose tip operation as Ash Williams continued the saga of one of repulsion ’s most iconic lineament , announced he was hanging up his chainsaw for just with the show ’s close .
Ash Vs Evil Dead has been the drive of a life . Ash Williams was the purpose of a life .
I will always be grateful to Starz , Sam Raimi , Rob Tapert and our unwearying fans for the opportunity to revisit the franchise that launched our calling . Thank you ! 😎 pic.twitter.com/oNmTopS1Ab

Failed Pilots
Greatest American Hero—ABC
We were intrigued when we learned that ABC would bemaking a rebootof Greatest American Hero starring New Girl actress Hannah Simone . ABC really hype it up for calendar month . Unfortunately , the web decide to legislate . Some of the people behind the pilot , admit executive manufacturer Rachna Frunchbom , have evince frustration at the decision and hinted that other meshwork could foot up the show . But there does n’t look to be an active crusade in the works at this time .

In anow - deleted tweet , Simone also share her frustration that net TV was n’t quick for “ the first brown female superhero , ” but later tweeted herappreciationfor the opportunity .
The Wayward Sisters—The CW
If there ’s one thing you may say about Supernatural devotee , it ’s that they ’re dedicate . The series that will never break down could n’t plug a spot for its 2nd fail attempt at a spinoff , the witchy saga The Wayward Sisters . But while show creator Andrew Dabbhasn’t signaledthat he ’s sample to appeal CW ’s decision , the fighting to save these sisters has only just begun .

Supernatural ’s fans — with the helper of Wayward Sisters and Supernatural star Kim Rhodes and Briana Buckmaster — have rallied to save the show , starting a#SaveWaywardhashtag campaigns and gathering over 50,000 signatures on apetitionto coax the CW to reconsider their decision . There do n’t appear to be any attempts to move it to another web , which makes gumption , given its ties to Supernatural . Some have taken to rail against theCharmed reboot , another witchy series CW greenlit last week , so as to show their disappointment .
Still At Risk
Timeless—NBC
As of the two - part season finale , which aired over the weekend , the showrunnershad not heardwhether NBC would be renew Timeless for a third time of year — though they pronounce they do have plans for the time of year if they get a picking - up . The show had a slight military rank increase during the time of year finale , which could help their chance . Plus , stranger things have happened .
And this prison term , they ’ve catch a major fan in their summer camp , who sound like she ’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep Timeless tick .
UM WHAT THE ACTUAL FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCK ! ! ! ! OK IF TIMELESS IS NOT RENEWED , WE go HAVE A PROBLEM@nbcI WORK IN YOUR BUILDING ! ! I WILL MARCH NUDE IN FRONT OF YOUR spot WITH THE SIGN “ RENEW TIMELESS ” I SWEAR!!@NBCTimeless#RENEWTIMELESS

Legion—FX
There ’s been no countersign whether Legion is getting another time of year — showrunner Noah Hawley and most of the cast have been pretty soundless — but things are n’t looking too dependable . The ratings have ( for the most part ) beensteadily decline , and there are hearsay that the recently orderedextra episodecould serve as a series finale .
Altered Carbon—Netflix
Nothing ’s been announced yet , but it seems moderately likely that this one is n’t come back — especially give how lose in Space has sincegotten renewedfor a 2nd season , even though it follow out months after Altered Carbon .
