Apple TV+ Shows That Ended in 2025
Apple TV+ has been making waves with its bold storytelling and high-quality productions since its launch in 2019. The streaming platform has built a reputation for delivering unique shows that often earn critical praise and loyal viewers. However, not every series gets to continue its journey, and 2025 saw several cancellations that left us disappointed but grateful for the stories we got to enjoy.
As Apple TV+ grows, it faces tough choices to keep its lineup fresh and focused on quality. This year, six shows were canceled, ranging from heartfelt comedies to imaginative sci-fi adventures. Below, we dive into each one, exploring what made them special and why they’re no longer with us.
Acapulco (2021-2025)

This vibrant comedy followed Máximo, a young dreamer working at a luxurious Mexican resort in the 1980s, with flashbacks to his older self reflecting on his life. Starring Eugenio Derbez, the show blended humor, heart, and bilingual charm, earning a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes for its final season.
Its cancellation after four seasons felt bittersweet, as the story wrapped up with Máximo restoring the resort’s glory. Low viewership compared to Apple’s bigger hits likely led to the decision, but the show’s warm vibes and Latin representation left a lasting mark.
Mythic Quest (2020-2025)

This sharp workplace comedy centered on a chaotic video game development team, created by the minds behind ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.’ With Rob McElhenney leading the cast, it mixed geeky humor with surprising depth, tackling office rivalries and creative struggles.
After four seasons, the show ended with a cliffhanger that Apple allowed the team to re-edit for a proper goodbye. Despite critical love, it didn’t pull the numbers needed to continue, but its clever take on the gaming world will be missed.
Schmigadoon! (2021-2023)

This musical comedy, starring Cecily Strong and Keegan-Michael Key, took a couple to a magical town where life played out like a Broadway show. Its clever songs and colorful nods to classic musicals won over critics and a dedicated niche audience.
Canceled after two seasons, the show struggled to find a broad enough viewership to justify its high production costs. We’ll always cherish its whimsical charm and catchy tunes, even if it didn’t get a third act.
Still Up (2023)

This quirky slice-of-life comedy followed two insomniacs, an illustrator and a journalist, bonding over late-night talks. Starring Antonia Thomas and Craig Roberts, it captured the quiet intimacy of sleepless nights with a light, relatable touch.
After one season, low viewership led to its cancellation. The show’s gentle humor and unique premise didn’t catch on widely, but it offered a cozy, fleeting glimpse into human connection that we won’t forget.
Sunny (2024)

This sci-fi black comedy starred Rashida Jones as Suzie, a grieving woman in Japan who teams up with a robot to uncover the truth about her family’s disappearance. Based on the novel ‘The Dark Manual,’ it earned a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes for its dark humor and emotional depth.
Despite a strong critical response, the show didn’t draw enough viewers to secure a second season. Its bold mix of tech and human struggles was compelling, but it couldn’t compete with Apple’s heavier hitters.
Time Bandits (2024)

This adventure fantasy, a reimagining of the 1981 film, followed a young boy named Kevin and a band of time-traveling thieves. With Lisa Kudrow in the mix, it blended humor and heart, aiming to capture the original’s quirky spirit.
Canceled after one season due to low viewership, the show struggled to stand out in Apple’s crowded lineup. Its playful take on time travel was fun, but it didn’t resonate widely enough to continue the journey.
