It can be difficult to choose what to watch in the streaming era, especially when a show is canceled just when it begins to look promising. This is an ongoing list of shows that have been canceled by Apple TV+ without a conclusion to the story.

There are several kinds of media on Apple TV+, and many are meant to exist as a limited series. This list of canceled shows only contains content that was listed as seasonal and ended without a proper series finale.

Shows canceled on Apple TV+

Despite being canceled without an official series finale, some of these series may end on a satisfactory note. "Mr. Corman," for example, works as a single-season narrative while "Truth Be Told" had three complete seasons with full story arcs.

It isn't easy to determine which shows have a cliffhanger or unsatisfactory ending due to a premature cancellation. Apple has updated its canceled shows to say "series finale" for the final episodes of each season despite the episode not actually serving as the series' official end.

As of this publication, "Amber Brown" hasn't been officially canceled and Apple hasn't updated the show's information to reflect a "series finale." Rumors suggest that "Amber Brown" is indeed canceled, so expect that to be updated on Apple's end at any time.

One show was canceled before it was able to be made due to the ongoing writer's strike. "Metropolis" will no longer be produced due to increasing costs while trying to wait out the strike.

Apple TV+ also parted ways with Skydance Animation, which is the studio responsible for "Luck" and the upcoming "Spellbound." Since the contract expired, Skydance Animation is taking "Spellbound" with it to its new home on Netflix.

As Apple TV+ grows, expect more shows to be canceled. While Apple is approaching content with a "quality over quantity" mentality, that doesn't mean every show will be a hit nor produced to completion.
