12 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled
3. The Expanse
A show that would be at home on both cancellation and renewal lists, The Expanse was recently renewed by Amazon for a sixth and final season in November. The news came ahead of the launch of its fifth season and it left fans a little conflicted, but it does mean that the series gets to go out on its own terms, giving the writers the chance to plan an ending - a luxury that it once had taken away from it.
One of the most popular science fiction shows in recent memory, The Expanse has already avoided demise before. It originally aired on the SyFy channel for three seasons until the network unceremoniously pulled the plug on it. Thankfully, it was rescued by Amazon Prime - which has allowed it to reach new heights in what we now know was for another three whole seasons.
The Expanse's impending conclusion is sad for fans of the show, no doubt, but when you think about the fact that its run was almost only half as long, you can't help but admire all that Amazon accomplished with it.
