Scroll down as we keep track of those and other shows we already know will be ending in 2024 and beyond.
Big Mouth (Netflix)
The comedy is ending with its eighth season, which was announced to be its last in April 2023. “If you would have told adolescent Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that middle school would take 8 years to finish, they would have been like ‘yeah, that sounds about right. This seems like it will never end,’” star and executive producer Nick Kroll said at the time.
Blue Bloods (CBS)
The drama is ending with its 14th season, airing in two parts (winter and fall 2024). “For the past 13 years it has been an honor and a privilege to work on a show that not only celebrates the men and women who protect and serve in New York City, but also displayed the importance of family,” Tom Selleck said in a statement. “Working alongside these incredible actors, writers, producers, directors and crew has been a dream come true and I’m grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary group for over 275 episodes. Thank you to CBS Studios and CBS Network for their steadfast support and we offer heartfelt gratitude to the fans who gathered with us for dinner every Friday night.”
Bob Hearts Abishola (CBS)
The comedy starring Billy Gardell and Folake Olowofoyeku is ending after five seasons, with the finale set for May 13, CBS announced in November. “Bob ♥ Abishola is about an unlikely love story, but also the premise that immigrants make America great,” said executive producers Gina Yashere, Matt Ross and Chuck Lorre in a statement. “We’ve loved bringing these stories to life and are excited for fans to see the final chapter of these two families, and the incredible work of this talented cast and crew.”
Cobra Kai (Netflix)
It was announced in January 2023 that the sixth season will be the last of the series that continues the iconic The Karate Kid film franchise. “Reacquainting the world with The Karate Kid universe has been our humble honor. Making Cobra Kai has … enabled us to play sensei, expanding the original storylines and birthing a new generation of underdogs. We’ve never once taken this opportunity for granted. Our day one goal with Cobra Kai has always been to end it on our terms, leaving the Valley in the time and place we’ve always imagined. So it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we are able to announce that achievement,” executive producers Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg wrote in a letter with the news.
Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
There are only 10 more episodes left of this HBO comedy, with Season 12 premiering on February 4 and the series finale set for April 7. “As Curb comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be – the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character. And so ‘Larry David,’ I bid you farewell. Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders,” creator and star Larry David said when the news broke in December.
Good Omens (Prime Video)
When the third season was announced in December 2023, it was also confirmed it would be the last of the series based on Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman‘s novel and starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant. “I’m so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006. Terry was determined that if we made Good Omens for television, we could take the story all the way to the end,” Gaiman said in a statement at the time. “Season One was all about averting Armageddon, dangerous prophecies, and the End of the World. Season Two was sweet and gentle, although it may have ended less joyfully than a certain Angel and Demon might have hoped. Now in Season Three, we will deal once more with the end of the world. The plans for Armageddon are going wrong. Only Crowley and Aziraphale working together can hope to put it right. And they aren’t talking.”
Good Trouble (Freeform)
The spinoff of The Fosters will be ending with the second half of its fifth season, now airing.

From the stories we’ve told to the talent we’ve fostered and, most importantly, the memories made, I could not be more proud of everything we’ve accomplished and the -ish family I’ve been a part of.”
The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu)
It was in September 2022 that the drama based on Margaret Atwood’s novel and starring Elisabeth Moss was renewed for its sixth and final season. “It has been a true honor to tell the story of Margaret Atwood’s groundbreaking novel and chillingly relevant world, and we are thrilled to bring viewers a sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale,” said creator, showrunner, and executive producer Bruce Miller in a statement at the time. “We are grateful to Hulu and MGM for allowing us to tell this story, which unfortunately has remained as relevant as ever throughout its run, and are in awe of our incredible fans for their unwavering support, and without whom we never would have gotten to this point.”

Star Trek: Discovery (Paramount+)
The longest-running Paramount+ Star Trek series will end with its fifth season, it was announced in March, and now we know that it will premiere in April 2024. “As lifelong fans of Star Trek, it has been an immense honor and privilege to help bring Star Trek: Discovery to the world. The Trek universe means so much to so many – including us – and we couldn’t be prouder of everything Discovery has contributed to its legacy, particularly with representation. If just one person sees themselves, or the possibilities for their future, in a new way because of Discovery, then we think we’d have made Gene Roddenberry very proud,” executive producers and co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise said when news broke about the final season.

We’ve known the drama is ending with its fifth season (now in production) since February 2022. “Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things.

Superman & Lois (The CW)
The superhero drama will end with its upcoming 10-episode fourth season, it was announced in November. “While we’re sad to say goodbye to Superman & Lois at the end of Season Four, we’re grateful for the time we’ve had with our amazing cast, crew, vfx teams, editors, musical geniuses, and writers. Since the day this show was first discussed, it was about family. And that’s what was created—on and off screen,” executive producers and co-showrunners Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher said in a statement. “We’d like to thank our partners at Berlanti Productions, DC, WB and The CW for their endless support and enthusiasm during this journey…and give a very special thank you to all the fans for tuning in. We’re thrilled about what we have in store in our final season, and can’t wait for everyone to watch as Superman, Lois and all our heroes face off against the biggest threat in the show’s history—Lex Luthor.”
Sweet Tooth (Netflix)
Netflix announced the third and final season in May 2023. “In a lot of ways, it’s exactly the story that I imagined we would tell and in a lot of ways it takes on its own life. At the beginning, I think you set out to tell these landmark pieces of Gus’ story and the big pieces of the comic book, but the beauty of long-form storytelling and Gus’ journey over 24 episodes is the characters themselves tell you what they want to be,” creator, showrunner and executive producer Jim Mickle said in a statement. “The crew and cast bring so much depth and point of view to who the characters are and where they’ve come from and where they’re going.”
The Umbrella Academy (Netflix)
The drama was renewed for its fourth and final season in August 2022. “I’m so excited that the incredibly loyal fans of The Umbrella Academy will be able to experience the fitting end to the Hargreeves siblings’ journey we began five years ago,” writer, showrunner, director, and executive producer Steve Blackman said at the time. “But before we get to that conclusion, we’ve got an amazing story ahead for season four, one that will have fans on the edge of their seats until the final minutes.”
Vikings: Valhalla (Netflix)
While releasing photos from Season 3, Netflix announced it’s the show’s last. “I am so grateful to have had three seasons to tell the stories of Leif, Harald and Freydis. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to show the evolution of how three of the most famous Vikings became the icons we know today and we have done just that. I hope when the audience gets to see the new season, they’ll be excited by all the new heights that we’ve taken these heroes,” creator and showrunner Jeb Stuart said in a statement. “When we started this project 5 years ago, I worked hard with this incredible cast and crew to craft a journey that we all hoped would be satisfying. Of course with real historical figures, there are always more aspects of their lives that could be explored, but it made sense story-wise for our Leif, Freydis and Harald’s voyages to end with our third season. And we really cannot wait for the fans to see the conclusion of this chapter of history.”
