Although the rest season aired on USA Network and SYFY, a network for the second season has yet to be announced. The first season, which is rooted in the film franchise about a diabolical doll, is Certified Fresh. Wanna play some more? A second season of the horror TV series Chucky has been ordered. But first: learn which series will live on, which were renewed and then cancelled (thanks, COVID-19), and which have simply reached their expiration date.


Feel free to debate specific titles in the comments if you wish. Sure, some shows “come to a natural end,” but someone somewhere said “enough,” and to avoid endless discussions about whether a title was “cancelled” or “retired” - One Day at a Time and Marvel’s Helstrom were cancelled, but His Dark Materials will come to a natural conclusion - we’re going with the one designation.

How it works: Renewals are obvious: new season = yay! When a network or streaming service announces that they’re not making another season of a show, however, we count that as cancelled (or “canceled” if you spell it without SEO considerations).
