20 TV Shows That Were Cancelled In 2025
10. The Tiny Chef Show
Beloved stop-motion animated series The Tiny Chef Show launched in 2022 and has been a solid ratings performer since, so the show's many fans were shocked by its sudden cancellation last June.
Nickelodeon was reported to have cancelled the Emmy-winning show due to the merger between Nickelodeon's parent company, Paramount, and Skydance Media, prompting the show's creators to release a heartbreaking video of Tiny Chef sobbing his little heart out after receiving the cancellation news - a video which swiftly went viral.
Though word soon enough did the rounds that a crowdfunding effort had saved The Tiny Chef Show, the creators followed up that this was unfortunately untrue and Tiny Chef was still "unemployed," while they continued to seek out a new home for the series.
Sadly as of 2026 The Tiny Chef Show remains cancelled, and it's frankly baffling that a streamer like Netflix hasn't jumped at the chance to win some easy PR points by rescuing it.
