We've all been there, when we've invested a huge amount of time, energy, and emotion into a TV show only for it to be cancelled before reaching its real conclusion. For lack of a better word, it can be devastating.

TV can be a wonderful thing, allowing audiences to escape and make genuine connections with what they are watching on the screen. We care about what we're seeing, and so to have this thing in our lives that we look forward to, that we may have sought comfort in for years, potentially even growing up with it, to not have a real ending can be a tough pill to swallow.

Even some of the most popular of TV shows don't get a say in how they end, and due to the cruel nature of the business, sometimes the creators are given no notice whatsoever, meaning there's nothing to stop them from building to a huge season-ending cliffhanger only to be told there won't be any more episodes.

Of course, there are also those shows that intended to finish on a cliffhanger, allowing the audience to make of it what they will. Either way, just because there are no answers given on-screen doesn't mean they can't be found elsewhere thanks to interviews, social media, and even tie-in merchandise. So while it may not have seemed that way at first, these ten TV cliffhangers have all been answered.

What started with Arrow back in 2012 ultimately grew into the Arrowverse, DC's shared small screen universe that housed the likes of The Flash, Supergirl, Black Lightning, and Legends of Tomorrow. However, with the wider franchise losing steam after its flagship property finished in 2019, the rest of the shows were ultimately cancelled.

Though it may not have been as popular as The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow's end frustrated audiences the most since it ended with such a big question mark looming over it. In the season seven finale, the titular team were arrested by the time police, while Mike (Donald Faison) was ultimately revealed to be popular DC hero, Booster Gold.

The Arrowverse is now officially dead, and the odds of it coming back are slim to none. However. Caity Lotz - who played Sara Lance - confirmed exactly what was supposed to happen in season eight. 

As well as Booster Gold's involvement, much like Arrow's seventh season, Legends of Tomorrow's eighth would have seen the team in jail. Time jail. They then would have been tasked with retraining as Time Masters, while mentoring the younger cadets in what would have seemingly been something of a passing of the torch. Would it have really been so hard to give the show one more season, and what sounds like it would have been a fun and strong ending?
