NBC's 2024 TV Show Cancellations: Full List of Axed Shows

'Extended Family' and 'Quantum Leap' are among the several shows canceled by NBC this year.

By Megan Behnke

NBC had several cancellations for 2024 and it is brutal. The network did manage to hand out renewals for a chunk of its 2023-24 lineup, but some shows weren't as lucky. From new series Extended Family to even veterans like Quantum Leap, no show is safe and it's always hard to face the truth.

While some shows were completely canceled, Law & Order: Organized Crime was a special case, as it's moving to Peacock. It still makes it weird, knowing that the show will no longer be on NBC along with the other Law & Order shows. There aren't too many shows that were canceled, but it's still hard to handle. Take a look at what shows will no longer be on NBC following the 2023-24 season. 

'Law & Order: Organized Crime'

Law & Order: Organized Crime was probably the most surprising "cancellation" on NBC. The Law & Order spinoff was reported to be moving to Peacock after four seasons on the network and was soon confirmed to be true. There will only be 10 episodes, but with no limit on length of episodes, it could work in the show's favor. The only question is how and if franchise crossovers will still happen.

Organized Crime's final episode on NBC airs on Thursday, May 16 at 10 p.m. ET. All four seasons are streaming on Peacock.

'Magnum P.I.'

The CBS reboot was saved by NBC in 2022, with the first batch of Season 5 episodes airing in early 2023, while the second half premiered later in the year. NBC announced in June that Season 5 would be the last season, and fans officially said goodbye to Magnum and co. at the beginning of the year.

The first four seasons are streaming on Prime Video.

'Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge'

Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge premiered in May 2023 and sees cars that hold special meaning to the contestants from their past that are remodeled into Hot Wheels-style cars. The series ran for 10 episodes last summer and NBC officially announced its cancellation in March. All episodes are available to stream on Peacock, but will be leaving on May 30.

'LA Fire & Rescue'

Dick Wolf's latest foray into non-fiction didn't quite work out so well. LA Fire & Rescue followed day-to-day emergencies and personal stories of real firefighters, paramedics, and lifeguards of the LA County Fire Department. The series premiered in June 2023 and ran for eight episodes. NBC officially canceled it in March after one season, alongside Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge. All episodes are streaming on Peacock.

'Extended Family'

The cancellations that hurt the most are the ones where it's shows that barely had a chance. Despite starring Jon Cryer, Donald Faison, and Abigail Spencer, it just wasn't enough. Extended Family centered on a couple who went through an amicable divorce and decided to continue raising their kids at the family home, taking turns who gets to stay with them. Things get more complicated when the owner of a sports team enters the picture.

The sitcom premiered in December, airing 13 episodes through the end of March. It had a soft launch, unfortunately, and NBC canceled Extended Family at the beginning of the month. All episodes are streaming on Peacock.

'Quantum Leap'

Another surprise cancellation was the Quantum Leap reboot. The series premiered in 2022, but NBC canceled Quantum Leap in April after only two seasons due to ratings. The cancellation came less than a month after the Season 2 finale in March. Both seasons are streaming on Peacock.
