NBC has made headlines by cancelling a number of beloved shows, including a Law & Order spinoff and some popular daytime programs.
Back in May 2025, the network surprised viewers by axing shows like Lopez vs. Lopez, Night Court, Found, The Irrational, and Suits LA. Although NBC later decided to renew The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds, these were the only new series to make the cut, leaving Grosse Pointe Garden Society out in the cold after much speculation.
The extensive cancellations follow NBC’s recent 11-year agreement with the NBA. Valued at nearly $2.5 billion annually, this deal allows the network to broadcast up to 100 regular-season games, impacting the slate of original programming available in the fall lineup.
Amid adding several new shows for the 2025-2026 season, NBC still made significant cuts, including dropping Law & Order: Organized Crime. The show saw Chris Meloni returning as Elliot Stabler, a role he originally left in Law & Order: SVU.
The year 2026 has been tough for TV fans facing a wave of cancellations. For instance, Netflix discontinued Boots just two months after it debuted. The series, inspired by Greg Cope White’s memoir, depicted Cameron (played by Miles Heizer) joining the U.S. Marine Corps in the 1990s alongside his best friend Ray (Liam Oh).
Law & Order: Organized Crime, which premiered in 2021, went through quite a few shakeups with Matt Olmstead originally taking on the role of showrunner but ultimately stepping down later that year. He was replaced by Ilene Chaiken, who remained on the show for one season before Barry O’Brien took over.
Bryan Goluboff became the showrunner for season 3 but left after three months. He was replaced by Sean Jablonski, who left due to “creative differences” and David Graziano took over for the final episodes of the season.
NBC renewed the series for a fourth season with John Shiban as showrunner. He later departed during production of the fifth season, which marked the sixth change in showrunners over the show’s five seasons. NBC confirmed in April 2026 that the series had been canceled.
