Get ready to say goodbye to a handful of shows in 2023.

While numerous shows are making their anticipated return this year — including Yellowjackets season 2 and the final season of Never Have I Ever — others have already hit the chopping block.

Streamers such as Netflix and Disney+ have already axed several series, while network shows such as The Goldbergs are wrapping up their final season.

As with 2022, it's expected that other fan-favorite shows will announce cancellations as the year progresses.

The good news? There are still plenty of new series to look forward to this year, including the Bridgerton spinoff series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story and Marvel shows such as Agatha: Coven of Chaos and Ironheart.

Read ahead for all the TV cancellations in 2023, so far.
