Recent additions: ANT Farm (Disney), Teen Mom 3 (MTV) and Californication (Showtime).
Each television season brings lots of different kinds of TV shows but there’s one thing that remains a constant — most of them will end up being cancelled.
Below is the list of TV series that aired or were expected to air during the 2013-14 season (roughly September 2013 to August 2014) and won’t be back for 2014-15.
If you don’t see a particular show on this list, it might be on the list for the 2012-13 season. You can find that one here.
This list will be updated as the season progresses so feel free to bookmark and check back. If I’ve missed something, please let me know.

The drama started out well but viewership dropped each week. Once it didn’t have Breaking Bad as a lead-in, the numbers got even worse. It’s been cancelled.

The show was unlucky in the ratings and the network cancelled it after two episodes. It’s the first show of the network season to be cancelled.

The network ordered this animated series but cancelled it before it was completed. The studio may complete the series and shop it elsewhere.
Nikita (The CW)
The action series survived for three years — despite poor ratings. The network decided to end it with season four.
Nikki & Sara Live (MTV)
The late-night series has been dropped after two seasons. The last episode aired October 29, 2013.
Reed Between the Lines (BET)
Star Tracee Ellis Ross left after one season so the show was reworked for season two. The show was later cancelled and it’s unclear when/if the second season will air.

Warehouse 13 (Syfy)
In May 2013, the cable channel announced that they were renewing the series for a fifth but final season of six episodes.
We Are Men (CBS)
The network has high expectations for their sitcoms and this one premiered poorly. When the second episode did even worse, that was enough.

This sitcom drew poor ratings from the start and is no longer welcome in the NBC family.
Wilfred (FXX)
Ryan and his big canine pal are moving to FXX for the fourth and final season.
Us & Them (FOX)
The network reportedly didn’t feel the tone of this romantic comedy would fit with their other sitcoms. They shut down production and told the cast they could look for other work. The produced episodes may air.
Note: Last Call with Carson Daly has been removed from the list because, at least for now, NBC has decided to keep it going with Daly as host.
