Here are 25 of the top responses: There are some spoilers ahead!Note: Submissions have been edited for length and/or clarity. First up, here are 16 TV shows that were unfairly canceled after only one season: 1. First, My Lady Jane Prime Video Suggested by: sharpgoose281 2. Julie and the Phantoms Netflix "I love this show. I'm really upset they aren't making any new seasons."-smileyhedgehog6675"JULIE AND THE PHANTOMS! Netflix NEEDS to bring this back."-emohawk45"Yes, definitely it ends with a cliffhanger, and we need answers now, and we need more backstory on how the band came to be!"-fancyporcupine12 3. Selfie ABC "Selfie starring Karen Gillan and John Cho. They had great chemistry, and Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Oscar winner from The Holdovers) was also wonderful! It's still relevant today, especially about social media. The show is really popular in China recently, better known as 再造淑女. It's so popular there that they wanted to make a Selfie movie revival, but Warner Bros. reportedly didn't want to sell the film rights! We could have had it all!!Fun fact: Julie Anne Robinson, director and executive producer of Bridgerton, also worked on Selfie. The cast members still get questions about the show even now."-hzyup 4. Freaks and Geeks NBC "I am so sad it only had one season, but its one season was amazing and beautiful. It was funny, and it was sweet."-kaitydid 5. Dead Boy Detectives Netflix Suggested by: whydontweruler 6. The Muppets ABC "It was like 30 Rock meets The Office, but with Muppets running a late-night talk show. I don't care what anyone says, it is iconic. Those of us who have been upset that we didn't get more gems like Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island deserved this Muppet twist on the mockumentary genre."-kimberlybravo"YES. This show was impeccable, and I have no idea why it didn't resonate with people. The Piggy and Kermit break-up drama had me fixated!"-relly 7. A League of Their Own Prime Video Suggested by: ejt263 8. Teenage Bounty Hunters Netflix Suggested by: chevlee25"Came here to say this. Highly underrated."-typhers1980 9. The Society Netflix Suggested by: anemone36865"Yes! I need to know what was planned for Season 2."-skydust"I still pray someone picks this up to finish it. What a show!"-smarteggplant922 10. Y: The Last Man Hulu / Via youtube.com "Sooooooo mad it got canceled!"-amatullahshaw 11. Taboo BBC One / FX Suggested by: donniedoesit 12. Firefly Fox "Tough call, but Firefly often tops that list - brilliant world-building, sharp writing, and a devoted fan base that still mourns its cancellation."-glitterypumpkin715 13. Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies Paramount+ / Via youtube.com "I'm still feeling salty about this."-bluebooky13 14. My So-Called Life ABC Suggested by: bridgeto43fc73957"This was my favorite one-season wonder as a teen. I liked how this show showed teens and high school in a more realistic and nuanced way. It showed the awkward side of teens, and the characters were groundbreaking. Sad we never got closure, but I still watch it over and over."-xxotashanicole 15. Pan Am ABC / Via youtube.com Suggested by: bluebooky13 16. Lovecraft Country HBO "I think it was way too soon. But it was incredible in the one season that it had. It did a wonderful job of mixing horror with 1950s Black history. Considering the time, it feels very realistic while obviously being supernatural."-xxotashanicole And here are nine limited series that were only meant to have one season that are damn near perfect: 17. The Haunting of Hill House Netflix "Nell is me ❤️."-tropicalredfrog 18. Midnight Mass Netflix Suggested by: grouchytable74 19. Crashing Netflix Suggested by: c49a679543 20. Sharp Objects HBO "Fucking perfection. My only complaint is that they didn't do more seasons. I wanted to see the aftermath of Camille figuring out what her mother and sister did and how she dealt with it."-hbarney"I still think about that show. Unnerving slow burn perfection. I tell anyone who watches it to make sure to watch through to the end of the credits."-thisisfine 21. WandaVision Marvel / Disney+ "I genuinely believe this is THE best thing that has come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Elizabeth Olsen gives an award-worthy performance. We were gifted Kathryn Hahn as Agatha, which led to Agatha All Along. THE MAXIMOFF TWINS! And it was just a cultural phenomenon. I'm glad it got one perfect season."-noradominick 22. Over the Garden Wall Cartoon Network "It is a perfect miniseries that answers just enough question
