List of all TV series canceled in March 2026
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.”
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.
