October 2025 saw a lot of changes in television, with several popular shows ending their runs across broadcast, cable, and streaming services. These included everything from intense survival dramas and funny cartoons to high-quality dramas and reality dating shows. While each show was different, they all made an impact. Here’s a quick guide to what’s ending, what each show was about, when the cancellation was announced, and where you could watch them – so you can catch the final episodes or add them to your list of favorites.
‘Yellowjackets’ (2021–2026)
The survival drama series on Showtime has announced that its fourth season, set to air in 2026, will be its last. The show follows a high school girls’ soccer team after a plane crash, exploring both their immediate struggle for survival in the wilderness and the repercussions of that event on their lives as adults. The story jumps between the traumatic events in the woods and the characters’ lives years later in New Jersey, uncovering secrets, conflicting memories, and the influence of a mysterious cult. News of the show’s ending came on October 10th and means it will conclude sooner than many anticipated, especially considering previous discussions about a five-season plan. This applies to both Showtime and Paramount+ Premium subscribers.
‘Countdown’ (2025)
Prime Video has canceled the crime drama starring Jensen Ackles after just one season, ending October 10th. The show followed a tough law enforcement officer who joined a special team dealing with urgent and dangerous situations that threatened public safety. Throughout the first season, the cases grew from local problems to larger national conspiracies, with different experts helping on each investigation. Now that the show is canceled, the single season is all there will be.
‘Butterfly’ (2025)
The Prime Video spy thriller, adapted from the BOOM! Studios graphic novel, has been canceled after its first season, concluding on October 10th. The show centers on a former spy who’s pulled back into a dangerous world when a highly skilled assassin reappears, threatening his family. The series explored the toll of a life lived in secret, balancing exciting missions with the personal consequences of past actions. Originally created as a streaming exclusive, the show will not return for additional seasons.
‘The Great North’ (2021–2025)
Fox announced on October 3rd that its animated comedy, set in Alaska, has concluded after five seasons. The show centered on Beef Tobin, a kind single father, and his children – Judy, Wolf, Ham, and Moon – as they navigated life and adventures in the quirky town of Lone Moose. Filled with family traditions, fishing, and local characters, the series featured musical numbers, town events, and stories about teenage aspirations. The show aired on Fox, and the fifth season marks the end of the Tobin family’s story.
‘The Ultimatum: Queer Love’ (2023–2025)
Netflix has canceled the show after it ran for two seasons, ending on October 2nd. The series followed couples who were questioning their relationships, forcing them to either get engaged or break up after exploring connections with other people. The show was filmed in a contained city environment and included follow-up episodes to see how couples were doing. It focused on how well people communicated, how compatible they were, and the pressure to find a partner, especially for women and nonbinary individuals. Both seasons will remain available on Netflix as the show’s entire run.
‘The Chi’ (2018–2026)
Showtime and Paramount+ have announced that the Chicago-based drama, ‘The Chi’, will finish with its upcoming eighth season. Created by Lena Waithe, the series portrays the lives of people in the same neighborhood as they pursue their goals, build families, and deal with issues like local politics, law enforcement, and starting businesses. Throughout the show’s run, it has explored everything from the challenges of running a barbershop to the complexities of city government, community organizing, and the ups and downs of relationships. Season 8 will still happen, but it will be the show’s last, airing on both Showtime and Paramount+.
