10 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled
7. American Born Chinese
American Born Chinese was something truly special, an innovative, genre-bending fantasy-action with a brilliantly entertaining premise, an affecting coming-of-age narrative, and Michelle Yeoh as an ancient god from East Asian mythology. What more could you want?
Tragically, though, for all its highs, American Born Chinese aired just the one season before Disney Plus gave it the axe. This feels odd given the popularity of its cast and its vital representation, though a silver lining can be found in the fact producers 20th Television are hoping to shop it to another network for more seasons.
Until then, American Born Chinese will remain a one-shot-and-done affair, the tale of a teenager (Ben Wang) whose thrilling journey to prophetic hero was cruelly cut short. Hopefully some other studio picks it up down the line, but it was clearly just getting started.
