Apple TV+
Apple TV+ has rolled out over 160 titles since its launch in 2019, but some were unceremoniously canceled without a conclusion. Find out which shows ended without a series finale here.
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.
Show | About | Rating | Number of Seasons | Date Canceled |
---|---|---|---|---|
In "Truth Be Told," Poppy Parnell is forced to reopen the murder case that made her a national sensation. She comes face-to-face with the man she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars because of her investigative podcast. | TV-MA | 3 | April 24, 2023 | |

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.
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.
