March 2026 brought a mix of renewals and cancellations for several TV series across broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms. Networks like ABC and Fox announced multiple continuations, while FX and Apple TV confirmed endings for popular shows. These decisions shape the upcoming fall schedules and streaming lineups.
In March 2026, ABC led renewals with several series. Abbott Elementary earned a sixth season, marking it as the first ABC scripted show renewed this season. High Potential was renewed for a third season, though showrunner Todd Harthan will depart to work on a Disney+ adaptation of the Eragon novels. 9-1-1 secured a tenth season, with ABC aiming to control costs, and its spin-off 9-1-1: Nashville was picked up for a second season after its freshman run.
Fox renewed medical dramas Best Medicine for a second season of 12 episodes and Doc for a third season of 22 episodes. NBC ordered a second season of the reality competition Destination X, hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. On cable, AMC renewed The Audacity for a second season ahead of its April 12 premiere on AMC and AMC+. PBS Masterpiece renewed The Forsytes for a third season before its first season U.S. debut on March 22, and Miss Scarlet for a final seventh season of six episodes. Syndication extended The Drew Barrymore Show through 2028 with two more seasons. Netflix renewed The Night Agent for a fourth season, shifting production to Los Angeles, and Little House on the Prairie for a second season ahead of its first season July premiere.
Cancellations included FX's The Bear, set to end after its fifth season, and Apple TV's Palm Royale, canceled after two seasons despite Emmy nominations for stars Kristen Wiig and Laura Dern. These moves reflect early planning for fall schedules amid ongoing industry shifts.
