As we reach the midpoint of 2023, it's time to take a look back at the scripted dramas, comedies, and genre-bending series that have been taken off our weekly TV schedules. The wave of cancellations can be attributed to a myriad of factors including the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike or streaming services looking to save a few bucks in tax money.

Either way, the cancellation of a beloved show can feel like a particularly painful sting. Here's our comprehensive rundown of all the TV series that have been served their untimely pink slips in 2023.
