“Axed” is such a volatile word, usually interpreted as being extinguished mid-production.
In reality even more shows are simply not recommissioned, rather than “axed” outright.
But whether they were ended by a network, not renewed or called it quits of their own volition, here are the shows confirmed as discontinued (or announced final seasons).
The Aussie list is quite short, due largely to the reluctance by networks to confirm a show’s future. While we don’t yet know the fate for Big Brother, do we really expect Seven to be Bringing Sexy Back?
