Great Canceled TV Shows For 2018 And Series Saved By Other Networks

If you're a fan of Netflix original series, then you've probably been pretty bummed out about a few that got the axe this year by the streaming giant. Marvel series likeIron FistandLuke Cage both were canceled along with American Vandal. If you're a fan of these series, you probably were pretty bummed and took to social media to shout your feelings from the mountaintops.

Almost as an "in memoriam," we are taking a look at shows canceled in 2018 that were taken way too soon from us. These shows were canceled because of low viewership, budgeting, or to make room for new shows. Or it could possibly be because a series which aired originally on ABC and starred Tim Allen was picked up by another network, which would literally make the series the "Last Man Standing" as far as sitcoms go on Fox.

Throughout the year, we'll keep this list updated with shows that deserve a second chance as they get canceled this year. Luckily, some of these canceled shows may find new life on streaming service or other networks. Hours after Brooklyn Nine-Nine got the axe, Hulu, Netflix, TBS, and NBC reached out to producers. Luckily, the series found a home on NBC a day later. As of this writing, none of these other series have new homes, but it's wishful thinking.

Poor, poor Iron Fist. The Marvel/Netflix venture didn't start off strong, as Season 1 was pretty awful. However, the series following the martial arts master got a bit better for Season 2, which was released earlier this year.

Both seasons are available on Netflix.

The coming of age comedy series Everything Sucks hit Netflix this past February, and while the series has a slow start, it ended up being a delightfully fun show.

However, Netflix passed on a second season.

Joel McHale headed to Netflix earlier this year to host his own TV clip show, which was nearly identical to his old series The Soup, which aired on E!.

Fox's comedy series followed the day-to-day life of the 99th Precinct in the NYPD. The series starred Andy Samburg, Terry Crews, Chelsea Peretti, and Melissa Fumero.
