* ''Series/UltramanLeo'': While various ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' installments have had permanent deaths happen to main cast members, it was ''Leo'' the one series where the surviving main cast members could be counted on one hand. First, various MAC soldiers die to the aliens or kaiju of the week, a contrast to past series having the teams get out mostly unscathed from every attack; secondary and minor characters also drop like flies at least OncePerEpisode and things kick into overdrive once the "Black Saucer" arc begins, where MAC as a whole is destroyed by Silver Bloome (and any who weren't killed in the base's explosion are EatenAlive by the kaiju), then Gen's love interest, Momoko; his best friend, Takeshi and his daughter figure, Kaoru are all killed alongside a whole building of civilians leaving only Gen and Tohru, Kaoru's sister, alive by the finale's time, not even Gen/Leo himself was safe from dying in the penultimate episode but thankfully Ultraman King put him back together. Dan[=/=]Series/{{Ultraseven}} also appears to have died as he vanished during Silver Bloome's attack but he would turn up alive later on.

* "Series/{{Ozark}}": [[spoiler: Most of the major characters outside of the Byrde family die.]]

!!As a DeathTrope, contains many spoilers. Tread with care.

* ''Series/MoneyHeist'': The show features an EnsembleCast of various criminals and doesn't shine away from killing off members of the heist group to highen the stakes. So at the series' finale, nearly half of the original team members are dead.

* Series/{{Misfits}}: For a show whose series 1 finale spoiler was that a main character could not, in fact, die, by series 4 finale none of the original cast is still around, most of them having died. To say nothing of the probation workers.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft "Turn Left"]] is set in a {{Crapsack|World}} [[ForWantOfANail alternate timeline]]. Over the course of the episode, ''every'' main character of the new series up to that point except for Rose and [[ResurrectiveImmortality Captain Jack]] -- including the Doctor -- ends up dying. The Doctor's death, as the result of him never meeting Donna, is actually what kicks off the events of the alternate timeline, and various other characters, including the main casts of spinoffs ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' and ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'', die stopping crises that the Doctor dealt with in the main timeline (the immortal Jack Harkness instead ends up a prisoner of the Sontarans). Even Donna has to die to restore the correct timeline.

* ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'' contains ''plenty'' of murder mysteries, so nobody should get so attached to anyone on this show that ''isn't'' one of the main characters. [[spoiler:The only exception however, is C.D. Parker, as of Season 9's "[[Recap/WalkerTexasRangerS9E4TheAvengingAngel The Avenging Angel]]", where he supposedly passes away of a heart attack, but in the GrandFinale, "[[Recap/WalkerTexasRangerS9E23andE24TheFinalShowDown The Final Show/Down]]", the villain of that episode claims to be responsible for the murder, prompting a second autopsy that reveals poison as the cause of death.]]

* ''Series/{{Degrassi}}'' is racking up a surprisingly high body count given that HighSchool in UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}} isn't exactly Westeros.

* ''Series/OnceUponATime'': You wouldn't suspect it at first due to the six lead characters still being okay after three seasons, and some characters having Plot Armor due to them appearing after their flashback in the real world, but when you think about it, the body count for the show so far is staggering even for named characters. Deaths so far include, [[spoiler: The Huntsman, Cora, Milah, Peter, King Leopold, Queen Eva, Ruth, Stealthy, Prince Henry, Daniel, Cinderella's fairy godmother, Gus, Greg Mendell, Tamara, Felix, Anita (ruby's mom), Quinn, Peter Pan, Balefire, The Wizard of Oz (technically), Ingrid, Cruella De Vil, King Fergus, Sir Percival, and King Arthur]].

Dan[=/=]Series/Ultraseven}} also appears to have died as he vanished during Silver Bloome's attack but he would turn up alive later on.

* ''Series/ScreamTVSeries'': Just like the films, the TV show has no problem offing any of the characters, no matter how important they are to Emma and her group of friends. By the end of Season 2, nearly half the main characters and a large amount of the supporting cast is dead, and it's unlikely Season 3 will get any better.

* ''Series/MayansMC'': Being a sequel series to ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'', it's no surprise that none of the characters have any form of plot armor. Riz's death in Season 2 made it clear that this trope was in full effect, but then the show ''really'' kicked this into high gear by killing off Coco halfway into Season 4, followed by Gaby a mere two episodes later. By the series finale, the only main characters confirmed alive are Emily Thomas, Lincoln Potter, Angel Reyes, Marcus Alvarez, and Taza. Everyone else either died in the final season or presumably got shot to death off-screen [[BolivianArmyEnding when police raided the Mayans clubhouse]].

The Grim Reaper has been having a field day with the last two seasons as a whole, to the point where some of the last handful of episodes have killed off multiple main characters.

* ''Series/TheWalkingDead2010'': To give you an idea on how bad it's been, out of all the characters introduced in the first season, including minor, recurring, ''and'' main characters, the only ones still living as of the tenth season finale are Daryl, Carol, Rick[[note]](PutOnABus)[[/note]] and Morgan.[[note]](Moved to a different series) [[/note]] Of the characters introduced in the second season, only Maggie and Michonne[[note]]She was played by a stand-in for a cameo and was not formally introduced until the third season; she is later PutOnABus in Season 10[[/note]] are still alive. The only characters still alive that were introduced before the series changed locations (in-universe) from Georgia to Virginia midway through Season 5 are Judith, Eugene, Rosita and Gabriel.

** [[spoiler:Chibs]], [[spoiler:Happy]], and [[spoiler:Tig]] deserve special recognition, as they are the only main cast members from the first ''five seasons'' who managed to survive to the end. Even then, [[spoiler:Happy]] wasn't promoted to being a main character until ''the last season''.
