All the Canceled and Renewed TV Shows in December 2024

As 2024 wrapped up, networks and streamers did their best to end the year with positive news. After a slow start to December, a flood of high-profile renewals came in: HBO made the easy decision to renew its sci-fi prequel Dune: Prophecy, Apple TV+ picked up new seasons of Vince Vaughn's detective series Bad Monkey and the sci-fi series Silo, Paramount+ asked for more of the new series The Agency and another term of Mayor of Kingstown, Netflix renewed Ted Danson's comedy A Man on the Inside, and Hulu ordered another round of the sexy drama Rivals. Our stockings were stuffed!

But it wasn't a happy holidays for all. Girls5eva, the excellent comedy from Meredith Scardino, was canceled by Netflix after three seasons. (Credit where credit is due: Netflix saved the show with an extra season after Peacock canceled it first.) Over on FX, Jeff Bridges' thriller The Old Man was sent to a home, never to be seen again.

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 December below.
