All the Canceled and Renewed TV Shows This Month (November 2025)
Poker Face just drew a bad hand.
If your group chats lit up this week, you weren't alone. November started kind, then turned sharp, and a few fan favorites got caught in the crossfire. Here's what's in, what's out, and what it says about where TV is headed right now.
The month in a sentence
Early November felt like good news: a big FX renewal, steady comedies and dramas getting more seasons. Then mid-month hit, and the ax swung. It happens fast in this business - one morning coffee and everything's different.
TV show cancellations
- Poker Face (Peacock): No Season 3 here. Creator Rian Johnson (movies and tv series) is shopping the series with a bold twist: Peter Dinklage (movies and tv series) stepping into Charlie's shoes, with Natasha Lyonne (movies and tv series) - who led and executive produced - giving the idea her blessing. (Nov. 13, Deadline)
- Dora (Paramount+): The animated reboot is canceled. Season 4 is still expected to air, but the reported "produced" Season 5 is up in the air. (Nov. 12, Deadline)
- Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Paramount+): The upcoming second season will be its last, part of broader changes as Paramount shifts under new ownership at Skydance. (Nov. 12)
- English Teacher (FX): Canceled after two seasons. The decision followed public allegations of sexual assault against creator-star Brian Jordan Alvarez (movies and tv series) between seasons; he has denied the allegations. (Nov. 12)
TV show renewals
- Alien: Earth (FX): Noah Hawley (movies and tv series)'s Alien prequel is locked for Season 2, with filming slated for London in 2026. (Nov. 11)
- Love Island: Beyond the Villa (Peacock): Back for Season 2, following cast members from Love Island USA Season 7 as the cameras roll long after the final fire pit. (Nov. 7)
- Reasonable Doubt (Hulu): Renewed for Season 4 under the Onyx Collective banner - steady verdict, no objections. (Nov. 6)
- Nobody Wants This (Netflix): The Kristen Bell (movies and tv series)-Adam Brody (movies and tv series) rom-com returns for Season 3, set for a 2026 premiere. (Nov. 4)
What this could mean
Peacock's move on Poker Face stings. It was one of the rare shows with a clear hook, a voice, and a fan base that actually showed up week to week. If Johnson lands a new home and a fresh lead in Dinklage, we might see a true anthology-style reset - risky, but honestly kind of exciting.
On the kids (movies and tv series)' side, Paramount's cuts - including Dora and TMNT - say more about corporate restructuring than audience appetite. Families will still watch. But budgets and ownership changes speak louder than nostalgia.
FX is doing what FX does: bet on creators and double down if the story's got legs. And the renewals across Hulu, Peacock, and Netflix show a familiar pattern - keep what's working, keep costs predictable, keep the slate moving. It's strategy by steady heartbeat, not big swings.
Bottom line
If you work in TV news or track programming moves, this month is a reminder: the schedule's a living thing. One day you're cutting sizzle reels for Season 3, the next you're drafting post-mortems. Keep your alerts on - there's more to come before the month is over.
