The list of TV shows canceled or ending in 2025 is growing, especially as networks decide what to renew, green light and sack ahead of the summer. NBC dropped the axe last week, as a whopping five shows – "Suits: LA," "Night Court," "Found," "The Irrational," and "Lopez vs. Lopez" – were officially canned. In the aftermath, one of the company’s top executives is offering some clarity in regard to why he and his colleagues pulled the plug on those titles. However, he did so without mentioning a key piece of information.

Ahead of the "Suits" spinoff’s premiere this past February, the Aaron Korsh-created show was a significant topic of discussion. Born from the popularity surge its parent show experienced on Netflix in 2023, the offshoot was positioned to revitalize the franchise. That didn’t pan out, however, given that NBC opted to cap its run after a single, 13-episode season. Jeff Bader, NBCUniversal’s President of Program Planning Strategy, formally addressed the cancellation, and it sounds like the show didn’t meet expectations.
