All the queer shows canceled in 2024 (so far)





Dead Boy Detectives; Our Flag Means Death; The Acolyte

Another year, another round of heartbreaks.

If you’re reading this, we have bad news a queer show you loved, or at least liked has been cut short in its prime. Or hopefully, come to its natural end. Nothing stings worse than a show you love getting the axe — unless of course, it ended on a cliffhanger, that is worse.

But here are the shows that we won’t be seeing again.

With three times the fun, the feelings, and drama, these relationships are put through the ultimate test to see if they are the perfect match.
