* After the first season of ''Animation/NoonboryAndTheSuper7'' finished its run, no mention of a second was announced ([[NoExportForYou at least, not in the Western world]]), and not too long after, reruns were quietly removed from broadcast.
* ''Animation/StitchAndAi'''s last episode ended with [[LeftHanging a couple lingering plot threads]], with one of the BigBad factions vowing that they will go after Stitch again now that they know firsthand [[spoiler:how [[MakeMyMonsterGrow his metamorphosis program works]]]], and Stitch himself still not having found the shrine he's been looking for throughout the show, although Ai tells him that they will continue to find it. The show's director stated that the production team had discussions about ideas for a potential season two, including possible appearances by some of [[Characters/LiloAndStitchExperiments Jumba's other experiments]] and an answer as to why Stitch [[WistfulAmnesia does not remember much of his life before Ai]], but Creator/{{Disney}} was waiting for ratings from other countries first. However, with the show being another [[BrokenBase base-breaking]] entry among fans of the ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' franchise and [[InvisibleAdvertising not getting much advertising]] by Disney, especially when its American release was on a pre-Creator/DisneyPlus streaming service that most audiences don't know of, it didn't really stand a chance of getting another season. It was eventually succeeded in 2020 by an AlternateUniverse [[Manga/StitchAndTheSamurai Japanese manga]].

* Despite once being AdoredByTheNetwork, ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' ended its tenth season with no fanfare. Much of the final season would end up airing on Nicktoons instead of airing on the main Nickelodeon channel, and the final episode was just a regular 11-minute episode. The creator Butch Hartman confirmed that the show indeed ended when discussing his departure from the network's animation studio in a [=YouTube=] video the following year.

* "Series/{{Inhumans}}'', a live-action series made for the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, wound up premiering to abysmal critical scores and horrific ratings after a disastrous Comic-Con presentation and early screening for IMAX. Combined with all this and the numerous behind-the-scenes troubles involving Marvel Television and their frustration at Marvel Studios having been cut off from them by Disney (after one too many instances of ExecutiveMeddling), and with no word of renewal when the series ended in December of 2017 ''and'' the announcement that Disney was buying Fox (who had the X-Men and Fantastic Four film rights, hence why the series even existed), the show was subjected to this trope in March of 2018. Little, if any parties at all, were surprised by this considering the circumstances, especially since a ContinuityReboot is in the works.

* Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} generally doesn't announce when a series is cancelled, instead just preferring to keep airing reruns of existing episodes; for this reason, ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'' had its fourth-wall-breaking final episode "Bye Bye Beavers" cancelled.

* The {{revival}} of French kids show ''Series/LesMinikeums'' was quietly canned in 2021 amidst the restructuring of the France 4 channel, which wasn't profitable. The channel itself was almost going to be terminated that year but it is on life support since. All of the sketches that were uploaded on the show's official Website/YouTube account were removed.

* ''WesternAnimation/HighGuardianSpice'' premiered in 2021 to wildly negative reviews. Despite the first season ending on a cliffhanger, there wasn't any news regarding a second season for over two years. The massively TroubledProduction during its only season, and the general failure of Website/{{Crunchyroll}}'s initiative for original Western animation programming didn't help either. In November 2023, it was confirmed that the studio behind the series had shut down, making any continuation of the series very unlikely.

* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'''s film adaptations. Initially beginning with a $700 million debut with ''Film/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe'', the sky was the limit for Creator/{{Disney}} and Creator/WaldenMedia's films, which seemed destined to compete with ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Film/HarryPotter'' film series. However, after ''Film/PrinceCaspian'' didn't make quite as much as Disney liked (only $400 million), they quietly cancelled ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'' until Creator/{{FOX}} picked up the rights and made [[Film/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader the film]] on a lower budget, with an equal return to ''Prince Caspian''. After mutterings of ''The Silver Chair'' being a reboot, talk disappeared completely until Creator/{{Netflix}} announced they were making a new series of their own in 2018.
