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

It's spring cleaning time for broadcast television, apparently. March has already seen several of the Big Four networks make early decisions on next fall's schedules, with CBS handing an early but expected second season renewal to Yellowstone spin-off Marshals. ABC renewed Abbott Elementary, High Potential, 9-1-1, and 9-1-1: Nashville; Fox prescribed new seasons of a pair of medical shows, Best Medicine and Doc; and Destination X marks the spot for NBC with an order for Season 2. 

Meanwhile, over on cable, AMC's upcoming The Audacity has scored an early second season renewal, and on streaming, Netflix's The Night Agent will be back for Season 4.

March has brought sad news for fans of The Bear, which FX confirmed will end after its upcoming fifth season. The month also hasn't been kind to Apple TV's Palm Royale, as the Emmy-nominated comedy starring Kristen Wiig and Laura Dern has been canceled after two seasons.

Whether you're looking to celebrate your favorites or mourn the loss of something on your regular rotation, we're keeping tabs on all the shows that have been canceled or renewed in March below.
