The Orville hasn't been canceled, yet. S04 will enter production this year.
Thank you. It's been sitting lonely in my Jellyfin for a long time waiting to hear this.
Mind hunter, surprised i didn't see it mentioned
Especially since it wasn't a real cancellation, just "on indefinite hiatus" followed by "never coming back" almost five years later. The second season ending very much set up at least another season.
It was formally cancelled last year.

Yeah, so good! This was Netflix’s True Detective and they just…dropped it?
Inside Job
freaks and geeks. unbelievably stacked cast but the network never gave it a dedicated time so no one knew when they could watch it. then it got cancelled before they aired half the episodes citing poor viewership
Pushing daisies was a hard pill to swallow. Such a great quirky show.
And, from that same era, Dead Like Me.
It sucks that it was only two seasons, but it did have a clean ending. No cliffhangers, or anything begging to be finished. I was happy with that.
Both Brian Fuller shows
Sort of counts, but KOTH.
Fox took it off the air FOUR episodes from the finale to "make room for The Cleveland Show" of all things, the worst offering from those Family Guy clones imho.
Luckily, Adult Swim was kind enough not only to pick up KOTH, but to air those last missing episodes as well, and I have it all torrented by now of course and it was easy to find, but still, fuck Fox for that one (amongst other things, but I want to punch the specific exec that decided to do that right in the eye just one good time.)
Better off ted.
Avenue 5.
Alien Nation.
My Name is Earl.
The Expanse.
Firefly.
I don’t think The Expanse was really cancelled rather than it was ended at a story point that makes sense to continue from sometime in the future. There’s something like a decade long time skip and a huge thematic shift between books 6 and 7.

Amazon: The Rings of Power.
I thought it still going. I think people were ok it being cancelled though.
The OA
Darkwing Duck, it ends with the first episode of a two parter...
Oof
Firefly
Last Man on Earth
Santa Clarita Diet and Carnivale. HBO axed Carnivale, Deadwood and Rome back to back, and I still hold a grudge.
Edit: Enterprise and Lower Decks also still sting. Lower Decks is ao fucking brilliant and I hate that no one watches it!

Tuca and Bertie. Netflix cancelled it, then HBO made another season. But just before releasing it HBO cancelled it for a tax break. It's heartbreaking to think of the writers and animators pouring their lives into it just for nobody to ever see it.

Teen Titans ended with a cliffhanger and then Cartoon Network put out Teen Titans Go! just to add insult to injury. Certainly the pettiest thing I've been angry about for nearly 20 years.

Lazor Wulf. Two seasons, with a forced change in animation studios between seasons, didn't give the show enough opportunity to grow.
Tuca & Bertie and Firefly as well. Maybe Lower Decks too
In order that I remember them now
- Drive
- John Doe
- The OA
- Sense8
- Limitless
- Dollhouse
- Tru Calling
- Dark Matter
- My So-Called Life
- Witchblade
- Carnivàle
- Probably more, I'll add them as I think of them
Firefly would make the list, if I watched it while it aired. But I didn't see it till later.

Limitless. It was just starting to get to the good shit when they cancelled it!
I was also upset by Star Gate Universe's cancellation. I hadn't been a fan of StarGate prior to its release. Seen a couple bits here and there but never just watched the show. After going through SG-1 and Atlantis, I can see why OG fans didn't like Universe. But I still think it was great on its own, as someone who knew nothing about the OG series when I saw it. But, if they do re-explore the same story and ideas, I'd want it to be the same campy shit that SG-1 was, instead of the serious tones Universe had.

Ugly Americans.
Scavengers Reign and Raised by Wolves
Scavengers Reign was fantastic and its cancellation was a travesty.
Raised by Wolves was very good too but man... Scavengers Reign...
Kaos. That season 1 had me and my partner fucking hooked and they pulled the plug so fast it was hard to even finish it.

I'll never forgive Amazon for cancelling The Tick.
