If you’re a fan of any of the shows on this list, then you’re in for a bit of a shock. Networks like Disney’s ABC are always making decisions based on viewership rates and how much revenue a show is bringing in. Unfortunately, this often means that beloved shows get canceled.

In the past, networks have even rebooted entire series in order to bring in more viewers. Here’s a list of all the shows that have been renewed or canceled, as well as how much the stars earn and how much each episode costs to produce. So, if your favorite show isn’t on here, it might be canceled soon.

We all knew that Insecure was coming to an end soon, but it’s still bittersweet nonetheless. Issa Rae did an amazing job not only starring in the show, but co-creating it as well. It takes a lot of talent and dedication to make a show like Insecure, so we are forever grateful to Rae and everyone else who worked on the show.

In an interview, Rae stated that the decision to end Insecure was a collaborative one rather than a unilateral one. She said, “We always planned to tell this story through five seasons, but we couldn’t have made it this far without the tremendous support of our audience.

It’s no secret that American sci-fi TV shows come with a hefty price tag. The Expanse is no different. In fact, just one episode of the Syfy series reportedly costs between $3-$5 million to make.

Thankfully, the revenue it brings in means that it’s lucrative enough to warrant a fifth season.
