For me it would have to be The Owl House
Raised by wolves. Like, more than anything. I want to know what happens so badly.
It was such a unique, utterly batshit crazy show that just really started going off the rails in the best possible way at the end of season 2. There was something so hauntingly bleak about it all that I fell head over heels in love with and its cancellation hurts to this day.
GLOW!
Covid really put the smackdown on that oneFirefly. Specifically, Shepherd Book’s backstory.
I worry it would have fallen off. Now we can always dream of what could have been.
Wheel of Time
Surprised I haven’t seen this mentioned yet but
Firefly
Had such a cool universe and cast of characters and was getting super interesting right when it was cancelled
Firefly
The 4400
Top Gear (the UK version)
Edit: As a side note, I would love to see a Eureka reboot
The 4400: original or reboot?
Game of thrones
Black Donnellys
Firefly
Outer Range for a newer cancellation, Dark Matter and Kings still sting.
I’m surprised no one mentioned My name is Earl, it’s a tv show about a guy who wins the lottery and is immediately hit by a car, he then hears about Karma so he decides to turn his life around by making amends for all of the wrong things he did. It’s a very fun comedy, and it was cancelled on a cliffhanger because the producers specifically asked if they were getting a next season and were told yes.
This one is the one that hurts me the most, because they knew how the ending was going to be, but didn’t got thr chance to film it, and it would have been perfect. Essentially he would have gotten to an item on the list that he just couldn’t do, whenever he tried something would prevent him from doing it, and it would seem that karma was against him. But then someone would come to him wanting to make amends for something they’ve done to him, and he would ask where the person got the idea, and it would be because someone made amends to him, and he would keep pulling at that thread until he found out that he inspired people around him to make their own lists, and those people inspired others, and so on and so forth so he would feel that he finally did more good than bad and would tear up the list and continue with his life. Oh, and the cliffhanger? It wouldn’t matter, it was just going to be an excuse to bring some celebrity, they didn’t even knew who the father was going to be.
PS: if you liked My name is Earl, and you weren’t aware there’s another TV show by the same people called Raising Hope which is the same style of comedy, with a bunch of the same actors, and they make constant references to MNiE.
A series that basically nobody knows: John Doe
A guy wakes up in the middle of nowhere, not knowing who he is. But knows literally everything else. Basically walking Wikipedia
First season ended on massive cliffhanger and was cancelled
I always talk about this and also have the feeling no one knows about it. In any case I think I read somewhere that the idea was going to be along the lines of “right before you die you have a moment of clarity where you know everything, John had had a boating accident that led to that moment and he came back from the death”. Honestly knowing what the future looked like sometimes I’m almost glad it got cancelled, because I think that would have been a bit of a boring explanation.
That sounds like a cool premise!
The trifecta of 2005 TV shows:
- Threshold
- Surface
- Invasion
The 2005-2006 season was an absolute disaster for new, promising sci-fi shows.
Red Dwarf, but with both Naylor and Grant continuing on from before the split. It felt to me that the quality dropped once they fell out and Grant left.
GoT, shame it got cancelled after GRR ran out of material, what would a sixth and seventh series looked like? Not some badly written, overly nasty, fan fiction, but actual quality as we had in the earlier seasons and books?
True Detective season one, by that I mean actually carrying on that plot line with the abuse cult rather than the “reboots” with new casts and settings in the future seasons. Those are great, I still want those, but I also want more of what we had in season one.
Hannibal, its time to revisit this overly stylized wardrobe of a cooking show
Stargate universe.
Battlegate Univactica?
