All the Canceled and Renewed TV Shows in September 2026

Being a limited series is just a state of mind these days. Netflix's The Beast in Me — last seen at the Emmys, where one of its stars, Matthew Rhys, won for Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series — has shed its limited series status and scored a Season 2 renewal. Star Claire Danes, who was nominated for an Emmy, is set to return. Another beast is also returning. The hulking detective Jack Reacher will be back, as Prime Video renewed Reacher for a sixth season right after Season 4 ended.

Elsewhere, The Traitors, the cutthroat reality competition hosted by Alan Cumming, has been renewed for three more seasons at Peacock, taking it through Season 8. Apple's Slow Horses is trotting into an impressive eighth season, which will adapt Mick Herron's book Clown Town. And MobLand won't be sleeping with the fishes just yet. The crime drama has been renewed for a third season at Paramount+, and all three of its biggest stars — Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren — will be back, too. In May, it seemed like Hardy was set to leave the series amid reports of behind-the-scenes tension, but everything was reportedly patched up by late June, meaning this renewal isn't a huge surprise. 

But September was also a brutal month for TV cancellations. Marvel's Daredevil revival, Daredevil: Born Again, will wrap up after its upcoming third season at Disney+. Over at Prime Video, Ride or Die has met an unexpected demise after only one season, and the ambitious Spider-Noir, led by Nicolas Cage, has also been canceled after one season despite earning the streamer five Emmys. Meanwhile, at Netflix, A Man on the Inside is wrapping up with its upcoming third season, Sweet Magnolias has poured its last round of margaritas after five seasons, and Ransom Canyon, the romantic drama starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, couldn't lasso up a Season 3.

We kept tabs on all the shows that were canceled or renewed in September below.
