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.
Live action Tick.
Since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet and it deserves to be on these lists h Archive 81.
Such a great suspense show that was really starting to go somewhere by the end of the season.
The OA
Amazon: The Rings of Power.
My Name Is Earl
Came here to say exactly this. Ugh …I hate that it ended on such a cliffhanger.
They had no concrete plans for the specific cliffhanger at the end, but for the show as a whole we got some closure in Garcia’s AMA at least. If you haven’t seen it:
I had always had an ending to Earl and I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to see it happen. You’ve got a show about a guy with a list so not seeing him finish it is a bummer. But the truth is, he wasn’t ever going to finish the list. The basic idea of the ending was that while he was stuck on a really hard list item he was going to start to get frustrated that he was never going to finish it. Then he runs into someone who had a list of their own and Earl was on it. They needed to make up for something bad they had done to Earl. He asks them where they got the idea of making a list and they tell him that someone came to them with a list and that person got the idea from someone else. Earl eventually realizes that his list started a chain reaction of people with list and that he’s finally put more good into the world than bad. So at that point he was going to tear up his list and go live his life. Walk into the sunset a free man. With good karma.
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.
Oh damn, really? I thought I read season 2 was a go but that was a cursory google months ago. Fuckin Netflix.
I just double checked and yeah it’s cancelled. Here’s a quick article:

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.
I thought the show ended with the movie and it wrapped things up?
Trouble in Tokyo? I guess it wrapped things up in the sense of it finished its own story, but didn’t really resolve or conclude anything that was left hanging in the show.
To be fair to the creators, the comic version of TTG does fill in some blanks about Terra’s cliffhanger in issue #51, which is basically super condensed version of what I would have expected to be included in the season that got pitched and turned down.
Travelers
Or
Stargate Atlantis
SGA was getting fucked by all the sg:1 writers that moved across and just kept writing sg1 with new names, it was a bit of a mercy kill
Stargate Atlantis was cancelled, but at least they made it home. Those Stargate Universe people are in for a lifetime of torture.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I would have loved to see how they planned to resolve that cliffhanger.
Firefly
Firefly
Raised by Wolves
Better Off Ted
Raised by Wolves was very trippy but it felt like they knew where it was going and the acting was fantastic. At least it was as original as it gets.

- The expense
The expense
A multi-season, high-tense drama series where Gary attempts to expense his lunch through SAP.
Stargate Atlantis and universe, Star Trek enterprise, Les moonves destroyed the last good series. , nutrek just suck balls. The animated series attempts to cure that though, the live actions are so bad, STD, Picard and snw is not as good as it looks.
Atlantis and universe was under MGM so they had significant financial problems , been plaguing them for years, also the low viewership retired the whole franchise. The show runners allegedly said it’s not possible for another series, due to “societal climate”
Stargate universe
Meh, the first season was horrible, Interstellar Gossip Girl. The second season was an infinite improvement, but it still felt like they didn’t really have any kind of plan, just keep the plot moving along while abuse Battlestar Galactica camera work to ratchet up the tension.
I get bleak, but this was bleak with no point, which is just sadness.
I enjoyed the space adventure parts but every time they broke out the stones I lost interest.
There was so little actually space adventure imho, just so much pseudo-romance filler.
Season 3 was going to rectify the lack of alien arcs. It got cancelled before that. And MGM had money problems too. According to the interviews it was going to reveal more about the planet builders back from season 1, and shed more light on the “resurrected people”
