A lot of them have been listed already, so I’ll throw in “The Riches”. Cancelled during the writers strike in Hollywood.

So many shows were ruined by the strike, even if it wasn't cancelled
Revolution.
Cool ideas/setting, and Giancarlo Esposito was involved. Low-key haven't moved on yet. I get it, maybe the writing could have been better, good ideas, but not so good execution.
Was this the one with the firefly Keychain being the key to electricity somewhere or something? Post apocalyptic network television?
I have no clue if this is anything close to accurate... for some reason this is just what popped into my head when I read your title.
Otherworld
Johnathan Banks would have had a billion Emmys by now if they had just followed the 45 season and 6 movie plan.
Captain Star
I liked Danny Devito's Little Demon, but it only got one season. :(
This one hurts me too, but last time I checked, it's neither canceled nor is it green lit for a 2nd season. It seems to be in some weird Limbo.
Without a doubt, Netflix's The Society. Made all the worse for the fact that it was renewed for a second season, and was less than a week away from starting shooting that season when COVID lockdowns began. Rather than postpone like so many other movies and shows did, Netflix decided to cancel it entirely.
The Society had so much potential as a really engaging mystery as well as some serious sociological storytelling. It's so disappointing.
If streaming shows are fair game, Final Space. So much passion poured into such an excellent production and Netflix axed it after 3 seasons.
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
My name is Earl, super disrespectful to end on a cliffhanger after 4 seasons
Threshold really should have gotten more than one season. Unfortunately, I don't think anybody's ever heard of it.
The Pretender. Mostly because they had just had a huge cliff hanger. And the made for TV movies never got aired in my country.
