All the Canceled and Renewed TV Shows This Month (August 2026)

The lineup for TV in August is looking like it will make a lot of noise, but as networks and streamers put their focus on the upcoming fall season, their renewals and cancellations in August are pretty quiet. The biggest renewal so far this month has a certain Twist in its background: Hulu's The Artful Dodger, a sequel series to Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, has been picked up for a third and final season.  

The CW also made some moves, renewed Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, and Police 24/7.

We're keeping tabs on all the shows that have been canceled or renewed in August below.
