S.W.A.T., Found and FBI are among the shows that fans are mourning in 2025.
CBS put viewers through the wringer with S.W.A.T., which premiered in 2017 and aired six seasons before it was declared season 7 would be its last. The network ultimately reversed that decision and S.W.A.T. returned for season 8 but the celebration didn’t last long. CBS canceled the show for a second time in March.
Despite S.W.A.T. receiving a spinoff at Sony Pictures Television, things only got more complicated when Shemar Moore was the only cast member who returned. The spinoff made headlines for not including Jay Harrington, David Lim, Patrick St. Esprit, Anna Enger Ritch, Annie Ilonzeh and Niko Pepaj, who have remained tight-lipped about their future with the franchise.
Over at NBC, the shock came in May when the network pulled the plug on Lopez vs. Lopez, Night Court, Found, The Irrational and Suits LA. NBC has since renewed The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds, but those are the only freshman shows that survived — in addition to Grosse Pointe Garden Society, which is still on the bubble.

NBC’s harsh cuts come after the network signed an 11-year deal with the NBA. This agreement, which is worth nearly $2.5 billion per year, means NBC will air up to 100 regular-season games, which affected the amount of original programming headed our way in the fall.

‘S.W.A.T.’

Bill Inoshita/Sony Pictures
While S.W.A.T. was canceled multiple times before its series finale in May, Sony Pictures Television developing a spinoff sounded promising. That reaction has been mixed with everyone — with the exception of Moore – not returning.
Moore defended being the only OG star on S.W.A.T. Exiles, explaining in a May Instagram video, “I’m not saying I’m Tom Brady, but I’m the Tom Brady of S.W.A.T. That’s not arrogant. That’s not ego. It’s a fact. I’m the quarterback. I’m Shemar Moore a.k.a Hondo. But I had a squad. A strong squad. A family. A team. And I would be remiss If I didn’t say out loud to the world and to them — because I know they’re watching this — I love you. I respect you. I appreciate you.”
‘The Equalizer’

CBS
Based on the original series of the same name, The Equalizer, which premiered in 2021, centered on Queen Latifah‘s character who used her mysterious background and extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn. Days before the show wrapped up its fifth season, CBS confirmed that The Equalizer was canceled.
The decision not to bring The Equalizer back came after fans questioned online why every Sunday shows on CBS — including Tracker and Watson — were pushed back. The answer is sports, since CBS is home to football broadcasts, but that has affected Tracker, Watson and The Equalizer’s airtime.

‘FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International’

CBS
Viewers had questions about CBS canceling FBI: International after four seasons and FBI: Most Wanted after six season. But luckily there is still the OG FBI to look forward to— plus, the FBI spinoff CIA, which is coming in the fall.
‘The Conners’

The final season of the Roseanne spinoff just reminded Us how much we would miss the iconic fictional family.
‘9-1-1: Lone Star’

Kevin Estrada/FOX
While there is 9-1-1: Nashville to look forward to, viewers had to say goodbye to the first spinoff and it stung.
‘The Sex Lives of College Girls’

HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls suffered a setback when Reneé Rapp left the series. The show was only able to release one scene without Rapp’s character, Leighton, before it was canceled in March.
‘Found’

Matt Miller/NBC
NBC canceling a show that let Shanola Hampton shine as a kidnapping survivor (while Mark-Paul Gosselaar played her unhinged captor) was already quite disappointing. It didn’t help that the news came days before the finale, which ended on some major cliffhangers.
