R.I.P. 'Whiskey Cavalier' And More: The 2019 TV Cancellation Round-Up

Whiskey Cavalier, we hardly knew ye. The series starring Lauren Cohan is just one of several shows to get the ax as networks make way for new stuff that will also probably be cancelled some day. That's how things work in the magical world of television! We've compiled a list of recently cancelled shows for you – think of it as a kind of in memoriam segment. The 2019 TV cancellation roundup awaits you below.

CBS has cancelled Code Black after three seasons. The medical drama focused on the "fictional Angels Memorial Hospital, where four first-year residents and their colleagues must tend to patients in an understaffed, busy emergency room that lacks sufficient resources." Marcia Gay Harden starred, and hey, she's great, but apparently that wasn't enough to keep viewers coming back.

Empire has been pretty popular, and Fox recently gave it a sixth season. Now we know that that sixth season will be its last. Fox Entertainment's Charlie Collier said, via Deadline, "We are turning the final season into a large TV event, we are trying to go out guns a blazing." The series involves "a fictional hip hop music and entertainment company, Empire Entertainment, and the drama among the members of the founders' family as they fight for control of it."

The Fix, which was a ABC series created by O.J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark, won't make it past one season. The series followed a very Marcia Clark-like prosecutor who loses a huge murder case (sound familiar), only to get called back in when the former defendant is accused of yet another murder.

It's been a rough year for Marvel shows. Netflix gave all their Marvel-based series the boot, and now Fox has cancelled the Marvel series The Gifted after two seasons. On the show, a suburban couple's "ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive."

I never watched NBC's I Feel Bad, but I can certainly relate to the title. In the show, "Emet, the perfect mom, boss, wife, friend and daughter, is learning to be okay with being imperfect." It only lasted one season.

The FOX series inspired by the film franchise had a very bumpy road behind-the-scenes. Original star Clayne Crawford was fired from the show due to poor behavior on set. After Crawford's firing, it looked like the show might come to an end. But the actor was replaced by Sean William Scott, keeping the series going for another season. Then, co-star Damon Wayans announced he'd be leaving as well after shooting the latest season. That appeared to be the last straw, and Fox has pulled the plug on the show after three seasons.

Fox rebooted Love Connection for two seasons, and then decided that was enough. It was a dating show. You don't need a synopsis.

Midnight, Texas? More like Cancelled, Texas! The series, which aired on NBC, lasted two seasons. In the show, "Midnight is a safe haven for those who are different, but with the presence of outsiders, the residents band together and form a strong and unlikely family."

The Fox horror series The Passage debuted to mixed reviews, and things apparently didn't get better, because it's been cancelled after one season. The series focused on "Project Noah, a secret medical facility where scientists are experimenting with a dangerous virus that could lead to the cure for all disease, but also carries the potential to wipe out the human race."

Yet another show that only made it through one season Rel has been cancelled by Fox. Created and starring Lil Rel Howery, the series was loosely based on Howery's own life, and followed "a Chicago man trying to rebuild his life after his ex-wife slept with his barber."

There will be no salvation for Salvation. The show, about "Liam Cole, an MIT grad student, and Darius Tanz, a tech superstar, who bring Pentagon official Grace Barrows a staggering discovery—that an asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth," was obliterated after two seasons.

ABC has broken up with Splitting Up Together after two seasons. The comedy told "the story of Lena (Jenna Fischer) and Martin (Oliver Hudson), a couple deciding to divorce while living in the same house."

Take Two ended up only taking one. One season that is, because ABC just cancelled it before it could get to season 2. In the show, "a private investigator in Los Angeles reluctantly teams up with a former star of a hit cop show."

At Comic-Con last year, there was a huge banner for Whiskey Cavalier. Believe it or not, that failed to keep the show on the air, and it's been cancelled after one season. "We thought we gave it very strong launch in spring," said ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke "But we lost audience. We felt the biggest opportunity was to try something new. We looked for other time slots but did not see a real opportunity to grow." The series followed "the adventures of FBI agent Will Chase (codename: Whiskey Cavalier) who, following an emotional break-up, is assigned to work with CIA operative Francesca 'Frankie' Trowbridge (codename: Fiery Tribune)."
