All the TV Shows That Have Been Cancelled in December 2025

by

The world of television is changing rapidly, with streaming services and networks making tough choices about their shows. This month, several popular projects were cancelled surprisingly, even though they featured well-known actors and were part of established series. Production companies are facing increased competition, and a show’s success now depends heavily on how many people watch it. These recent cancellations highlight just how unpredictable the entertainment industry has become.

‘The Last Frontier’ (2025)

The thriller series ‘The Last Frontier,’ which followed a group of fugitives trying to survive in the Alaskan wilderness, has been cancelled. Although the show had a compelling premise and a distinctive location, the streaming service decided not to renew it after its first season, as part of a larger review of its programming. Sources involved in the production have confirmed that there will not be a second season.

‘NCIS: Tony & Ziva’ (2025)

As a big fan, I was so excited when ‘NCIS Tony and Ziva’ brought back my favorite couple for a new adventure in Europe! Sadly, after a strong start, the show’s audience really dropped off. Ratings fell by more than half, and the streaming service decided not to renew it for another season. It’s disappointing, but it means Tony and Ziva’s story won’t continue in this series anymore.

‘Boots’ (2025)

‘Boots,’ set in the 1990s, told the story of a teenage boy struggling with his sexuality who joined the Marines. The show was particularly notable as the last project created by Norman Lear. After one season on Netflix, the streaming service decided not to renew it. The series delved into themes of identity and what life was like in the military during that time period in American history.

‘Hotel Costiera’ (2025)

Jesse Williams played the lead role in ‘Hotel Costiera,’ a mystery series filmed in beautiful Italy. Although the original streaming service has cancelled the show after its first season, the production company, Fremantle, is now looking for another network to continue it. There’s still a chance the story will go on if a different platform buys the rights for a second season. The show combined international suspense with a compelling investigation, featuring Williams as its star.

‘Deal or No Deal Island’ (2024–2025)

NBC’s ‘Deal or No Deal Island’ took the original game show and added a survival and social strategy element, moving the competition to a tropical island. However, after two seasons, the network has canceled the show. Ratings weren’t high enough to warrant another season of the revamped format.
