Disney continues to produce original shows specifically for Disney+. Many of these shows have been enjoyed by fans — kids and adults alike. Now that Disney+ also offers Hulu (and will soon be the one and only app offering Disney+ and Hulu shows), people of all ages can enjoy entertainment on the app.

However, we’ve noticed that many recent shows, including some fan favorites, have been getting canceled from Disney+. There have been 5 shows within the past two years alone that have been canceled after only ONE season. There have also been numerous shows canceled after two seasons. It feels like these shows hardly even got a chance, plus several of them performed really well, even winning awards. Let’s take a look at which shows Disney has pulled the plug on.

Disney+

Primos

Primos aired on Disney Channel and Disney+ in July 2024.

It followed a 10-year-old girl, Tater, with big dreams and a certain flair that made her exceptional. But now, Disney pulled the plug on the animated series in May 2025.

Shardlake

Shardlake was launched in the summer of 2024. It was a four-part historical mystery series set in the U.K. in the Tudor period.

Unfortunately, Disney canceled the series early in 2025 after only one season. The show was well-received by audiences and critics, yet Disney did not provide an explanation for the cancelation.

Renegade Nell

Renegade Nell followed an 18th-century outlaw in England and was written by Sally Wainwright.

This show was officially canceled in July 2024, without any official reason being given. Only one season had premiered, so it seems the show did not meet the metrics for a second season.

American Born Chinese

American Born Chinese was a show based on a graphic novel. It premiered on Disney+ in May 2023, with Disney being a fan of its creativity.

Unfortunately, the viewership didn’t justify giving it a second season, and therefore, the show was canceled in January of 2024.

The Acolyte

The Acolyte was a controversial Star Wars series that premiered on Disney+ in June 2024. Many people didn’t care for it being outside the core Star Wars settings and lore, along with its LGBTQ themes and an inclusive cast.

While the first season ended on a cliffhanger and an apparent setup for a second season, Disney and Lucasfilm decided not to greenlight another season.

Shows Canceled After 2 Seasons

Disney canceled the following shows after only 2 seasons in 2024 and 2025:

• Goosebumps
• Moon Girl and the Devil Dinosaur
• Extraordinary
• Marvel Studios: Assembled

We may never know all the reasons these shows got cut, especially the ones that seemed well-received, but whatever the reasons, these shows will not be getting new episodes. Luckily, the one or two seasons are still available to watch (and rewatch) on Disney+.
