All the Canceled and Renewed TV Shows in January 2025

Forget spontaneity; the best vacations are planned ahead. In January, HBO renewed its award-winning anthology drama The White Lotus for a fourth season, less than a month before the third season premieres on Feb. 16. Details on Season 4 are far from being released, but you can bet that it will feature a great cast and be set in a place you want to visit. The White Lotus is one of many good shows that got great news in January. Also earning renewals were ABC's Abbott Elementary and High Potential, NBC's St. Denis Medical, Netflix's Love Is Blind and The Lincoln Lawyer, Fox's Murder in a Small Town, and Hulu's Shoresy.

But this year kicked off with some early disappointments, too. The first TV cancellation of 2025 was HBO's The Franchise, which will not return for Season 2. Prime Video has announced that Season 3 of its comedy Harlem will be its last, and Peacock's horror series Teacup will not be back for a second season. Paramount+ has also opted not to renew the Frasier revival series for a third season, though it's being shopped around in the hopes of finding a new home on another streaming service. HBO announced that The Righteous Gemstones' upcoming fourth season, premiering in March, will be its last. And Netflix's The Sandman will end with its upcoming second season, expected to premiere in 2025.

Whether you're looking to celebrate more of your favorites or mourn the loss of something on your regular rotation, we kept tabs on all the shows that were canceled or renewed in January below.
