Apple TV+ has quickly become the place where you find peak TV and to achieve that status they have to leave some shows behind and support the shows with potential. 2024 has been a pretty good year for Apple TV+ as it saw the premieres of some great new shows like The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin and Sugar but we also have some shows that didn’t make it out of the chopping block. So, let’s find out if your favorite Apple TV+ original series makes the cut or not.

Canceled

Schmigadoon! Season 3

Schmigadoon! is a musical comedy series created by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio. The Apple TV+ series was beloved by both the critics and the audiences for its great songs and unique way of storytelling. Schmigadoon! came out with its second season in April 2024 before meeting with cancelation on January 18, 2024, when the creators of the series announced that the musical series wouldn’t be returning for Season 3 despite being already written.

Constellation Season 2

This one made many people angry. On one hand, Apple TV+ is making many great sci-fi shows like Dark Matter and For All Mankind but on the other hand they are canceling shows like Constellation, which was instantly praised by the audience for its great story and incredible visuals. Constellation premiered on Apple TV+ in February 2024 and it was met with a cancelation in May 2024.

Renewed

Slow Horses Season 5

While the renewal for Slow Horses Season 5 comes as no surprise for the fans of the Apple TV+ spy dark comedy series, it is still better for a show to get an early renewal. Based on Mick Herron’s series of novels, the Apple TV+ series premiered its third season in December 2023, and because the fourth season was already renewed and shot we also got a trailer for Season 4 at the end of Season 3. Until now Apple TV+ has been giving Slow Horses early renewals for two seasons in advance and this is the first time that it has gotten a renewal for a single season because there are still books left to adapt. So, let’s hope that the series doesn’t get canceled before adapting all of Herron’s books.

Hijack Season 2

Created by George Kay and Jim Field Smith, the high-octane thriller series Hijack was a big hit for Apple TV+ after its premiere in June 2023, but the renewal for a second didn’t come out until nearly five months after the series ended. On January 31, Apple TV+ announced that the Idris Elba-led series will return for a second season.

Invasion Season 3

Invasion is an intense sci-fi drama about an alien invasion as we see its effects in real-time through a handful of ordinary people around the world. Created by Simon Kinberg and David Weil, the second season of the Apple TV+ series got incredible reviews and was appreciated by the fans for upping the ante in Season 2. Maybe, that’s the reason for the Season 3 renewal, which was announced in February 2024.

The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2

The Last Thing He Told Me is a mystery thriller series created by Laura Dave and Josh Singer. Based on a 2021 novel of the same name by Dave, the Apple TV+ premiered its first season on the streaming service in April 2024 and the renewal announcement for Season 2 came out in March 2024. While originally the series was supposed to be a limited series, the streamer announced that will be based on a sequel book by Dave set for publication in 2025.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2

Set in the Monsterverse franchise Apple TV+’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is the second television series in the franchise. The superhit monster adventure series was praised for its incredible visuals and storytelling in its first season, which came out in November 2023 but the renewal for Season 2 didn’t come out until April 2024.

For All Mankind Season 5

For All Mankind is one of the best and most underappreciated Apple TV+ series. Created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi, the alternate history sci-fi series premiered on the streaming service with its fourth season in November 2023 and the renewal announced for Season 4 came out nearly three months after the season ended.

Drops of God Season 2
