5 TV Shows You’d Be Surprised to Know Are Ending This Year
- 'Young Sheldon' has already ended after its seventh season.
- 'Blue Bloods' is finishing after 14 seasons due to budget cuts.
- 'Arcane,' 'The Boys,' and 'The Witcher' are also wrapping up their stories.
Get ready for some emotions, because we’re talking about TV shows that are ending this year. Yes, some of our favorite series are going off the air. With streaming services making big changes, some shows just can’t continue. Last year, shows like Riverdale and How I Met Your Father ended. Even 2024 isn’t looking much better.
As we say goodbye to these beloved shows, remember: even if they’re gone, we can still enjoy the memories (and binge-watching sessions). Cheers to the end of an era! Now, let’s dive into five shows that are surprisingly ending this year.
1. Yellowstone
First, we have Yellowstone. The final episodes were delayed for months, but a premiere date has finally been set. The episodes will air on November 10, 2024, following the resolution of the strikes and Kevin Costner’s official departure from the show. Kelly Reilly told EW that when creator Taylor Sheridan first imagined Yellowstone, he had a plan for five seasons.

2. The Boys
Next up is The Boys. This wild Amazon show is ending after its fifth season, which will be released in 2026. Showrunner Eric Kripke shared the news on X in June 2024, just ahead of the fourth season’s release. He always envisioned a five-season journey for the show.

3. Blue Bloods
Blue Bloods is finishing up after 14 seasons. This cop family drama with Tom Selleck has been a long ride, but budget issues are bringing it to a close (via Deadline). Can you believe it’s almost 300 episodes? The final season of Blue Bloods premiered on October 18 at 10 PM on CBS.

Now, let’s chat about The Witcher. Our monster-hunting hero is saying goodbye with its fifth season. Liam Hemsworth will take over as Geralt, and they’re filming both the fourth and fifth seasons back-to-back.
