History Main / QuietlyCancelled

{{Cancellation}} of series always sucks. There's no worse feeling than investing in a series you love, only for it to [[CutShort end abruptly]] for one reason or another (ratings, budget, creative differences, creator burnout, uncooperative network heads, etc.).

* ''WesternAnimation/CentralPark'': After the third season wrapped up in November 2022, Creator/AppleTVPlus stayed silent for a whole year regarding the show's fate. It wasn't until December 2023 that fans found out what became of it when co-creator Creator/JoshGad announced on social media that the show was cancelled.

* ''Hitbox'', a video game-themed martial arts showcase, was the first new series from the then-newly established Creator/GlitchProductions, preceding ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner'' by 10 months. However, after six months of nearly monthly uploads, only two more episodes were produced over the next 10 months before going silent altogether. Given how much more animated content Glitch has ended up producing since, between the ongoing ''[[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'', ''Meta Runner'', ''WebAnimation/SunsetParadise'' and ''WebAnimation/MurderDrones'', it’s likely ''Hitbox'' was quietly cast aside so more time could be spent working on those shows.

* ''WesternAnimation/PikwikPack'' ended its first season in November 2021, but since then, there has been no word on the show's future. Given that two years have passed since that, it's safe to say that the show is over.

* ''Toys/{{Hairdorables}}'' stopped adding new animated videos to the official [=YouTube=] channel in 2019, only uploading rereleased videos. and never displaying the [=HairDudeables=], little sisters, or the three added girls. The website never updated past the Prom Perfect teen line and Series Five, and Series Six was released with no fanfare in 2021 before the line was ended and social media stopped being updated. Just Play no longer lists the brand on their website.

* Unlike the announcement of ''Toys/AmericanGirl'''s [=BeForever=] line, the depreciation was a quiet affair mostly marked by changing the labeling on the packages to new labels and changing the two-volume imageless books to abridged versions with pictures.
* Neither ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' nor ''Toys/EverAfterHigh'' got an official announcement regarding their cancellation; both franchises simply seemed to halt production (the latter in 2017, the former the year after), with no new dolls getting released and the official [=YouTube=] channels only posting compilations of previous clips. ''Monster High'' would ultimately get rebooted once again (indirectly confirming that the previous generation had indeed been cancelled), but ''Ever After High'' hasn't been heard from since.

* ''WesternAnimation/HighGuardianSpice'' premiered in 2021 to wildly negative reviews. Despite the first season ending on a cliffhanger, there hasn't been any news regarding a second season for over two years.

* ''WesterAnimation/HighGuardianSpice'' premiered in 2021 to wildly negative reviews and despite the season ending on a cliffhanger, there's no news about a second season after over two years.

* ''Series/TheFairlyOddParentsFairlyOdder'' was cancelled after only 13 episodes, then removed from Creator/ParamountPlus and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s official website without any word of the announcement.

* ''Webcomic/TeamFortress2'': Since August 28, 2013, only six issues of the webcomic have seen the light of day. Despite the sixth issue ending on a cliffhanger with a "To Be Concluded...", there hasn't been any updates about the comic since 2017.

* In the midst of its third season, ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' had seemingly been renewed for more seasons. In reality, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} had actually ''cancelled'' the series under the guise of doing this (it's speculated they dropped it after Music/ArianaGrande's music career started gaining ground and wanted to put more emphasis on her with the spin-off ''Series/SamAndCat''). None of the cast or crew were told of this until they learned about it from their fans.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' seems to have suffered this fate. The toyline faltered by 2019 and DHX Media was told to stop making any further specials or episodes for the series with "Holidays Unwrapped", the final animation for the series before going into hiatus, with the final story in that one even having an EndOfSeriesAwareness. The only thing to come from the series since then was a one-shot comic book called "Canterlot High: March Radness" and some shorts that were held over into mid-2020. There's been no news of the series since then, possibly due to the franchise being rebooted as of the movie, ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration''.

* ''Series/{{Cursed}}'' originally aired on Netflix in July 2020, after which there was no word on whether it was renewed or cancelled for a whole year. Fans got particularly worried when they learned props from the show had been sold off in late 2020, given the obvious implication they wouldn't be needed anymore. It was reported in July 2021 that the cast had been released from their contracts, confirming the show was indeed cancelled, though Netflix has never made an official announcement.

** This ended up becoming the fate for the whole ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse''. Due to the failure of ''Film/BlackAdam'', the hiring of new studio executives, and Creator/JamesGunn and Peter Safran being hired to oversee the DC catalogue, the entire universe was set to be retooled and rebooted, with the new phase titled ''Gods & Monsters'' being set to premiere in 2025 after a whole ContinuityReboot would happen following the release of ''Film/{{The Flash|2023}}'' in summer 2023 (though it'll technically happen after ''Film/{{Blue Beetle|2023}}'' and ''Aquaman and the Last Kingdom'' get released).

* ''Webcomic/TeamFortress2'': Since August 28, 2013, only six issues of the webcomic have seen the light of day. Despite the sixth issue ending on a cliffhanger with a "To Be Concluded...", there hasn't been any updates about the comic since it came out in 2017.

* ''WesternAnimation/ForkyAsksAQuestion'''s finale ended in a way implying that there was more planned. Ultimately, the series did not come back for a second season after the first one ended in January 2020. Disney hasn't said anything about the series since. Creator/CarlReiner and Creator/BettyWhite's deaths probably don't help in that regard.

* ''Webcomic/TeamFortress2'': Since August 28, 2013, only six issues of the webcomic have seen the light of day. Despite the sixth issue ending on a cliffhanger with a "To Be Concluded...", there hasn't been any sign of an ending, which has led many readers to conclude that the series has been cancelled.
