With a new year comes a new batch of updates on the status of new and longrunning TV series, some of which will be coming to a close in 2026.
2026 will bid farewell to beloved series from Prime Video’s “The Boys,” Paramount+’s “Yellowjackets,” Starz’ “Outlander,” the CW’s “All American” and CBS’ “The Neighborhood,” to name a few, though luckily, a handful of those will have spinoff series picking up the baton from their predecessors.
