Broadcast networks and streaming platforms confirmed several cancellations and ending decisions in March 2026. The updates involved scripted comedies and drama series across major streaming services, including Apple TV+ and Peacock.
List of all TV series canceled in March 2026
Access Live
Access Live, also known as Access Hollywood Live and later Access Daily, was canceled in the NBCUniversal restructuring. The program debuted in 2010 and functioned as a daytime extension of the Access Hollywood brand.
Deadline reported that Access Live would also “wind down at the end of the summer.” It remains unclear whether the Access brand could continue in a digital format after the syndicated show ends.
The Steve Wilkos Show
The Steve Wilkos Show was another program canceled during NBCUniversal’s strategy shift. The talk show originally premiered in 2007 and has aired for many years in daytime syndication.
Deadline reported that the program has already completed production on its current season. New episodes will air through the summer before the show concludes.
Karamo
Karamo, hosted by Karamo Brown, debuted in 2022 and is one of the newer syndicated talk shows affected by the change. NBCUniversal confirmed the show would end alongside other first-run syndicated productions.
Deadline reported that Karamo has also completed production on its ongoing season, with new episodes scheduled to broadcast through the summer.
Palm Royale
Palm Royale airs on Apple TV+ and features Kristen Wiig as Maxine, a social climber attempting to enter Palm Beach high society in 1969. Apple canceled the series after two seasons and 20 episodes, bringing its run to a close following awards recognition and nominations.
Its cast members are Laura Dern, Leslie Bibb, Julia Duffy, Amber Chardae Robinson, Allison Janney, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin, Mindy Cohn, and Josh Lucas. The show was loosely based on Juliet McDaniel’s novel Mr. and Mrs. American Pie and followed Maxine as she attempted to cross the “line between the haves and the have-nots.”
Buffy New Sunnydale (Honorable Mention)
A separate cancellation involved Buffy New Sunnydale, a planned revival connected to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hulu had previously ordered a pilot for the sequel series, which would have seen Sarah Michelle Gellar reprise the role of Buffy Summers.
Gellar confirmed the decision publicly, stating, “Unfortunately, Hulu has decided not to move forward with Buffy New Sunnydale.” The pilot had been planned with director Chloé Zhao and writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman attached to the project.
The Bear (Honorable Mention)
The Bear is expected to conclude with its fifth season, according to comments shared by Jamie Lee Curtis. Curtis wrote that it was great to finish the show and spoke about “completing the story of this extraordinary family that we have all fallen in love with.” Reports also noted that production on the fifth season has wrapped, with the final episodes expected to be released later.
Ted (Honorable Mention)
Seth MacFarlane also confirmed that there is currently “no plan” for Ted Season 3. He explained that the live-action Peacock series is “really expensive to produce,” adding that “there’s no way to do it at a lower cost.” MacFarlane added that producing the CGI-heavy series felt “like you’re doing an Avengers movie every 22 minutes” per episode estimates.
