6 NBC Shows Canceled So Far In 2026 — Including One Law & Order Series

After seven seasons, The Kelly Clarkson Show is coming to an end. Fans might be surprised to learn that Clarkson said the show's cancellation was her decision and not related to NBCUniversal. Last year in February, she also shared an Instagram post explaining the reason for the cancellation: spending more time with her children. “Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives,” wrote Clarkson.

After two seasons run, Brilliant Minds will also be ending amid all these cancellations. The show featured Zachary Quinto playing a New York City neurologist, Dr. Oliver Wolf. In addition to being a gifted practitioner, he was also blind. According to Deadline, Brilliant Minds was NBC’s lowest-rated drama series. Despite the show airing on Mondays after The Voice, it posted “the steepest double-digit year-to-year declines.”

The Steve Wilkos Show debuted in 2007 and ran for 19 seasons. Former police officer Steve Wilkos hosted the show, who was also the director of security on The Jerry Springer Show. New episodes will air on the platform throughout the summer, and later, they will switch to reruns.

Viewers enjoyed watching Christopher Meloni playing Elliot Stabler on Law & Order: Organized Crime for five seasons. However, in April, after the show’s fifth season concluded, NBC announced the cancellation news. Lead actor Meloni also opened up about the show’s potential future last year, during his interview with People. He noted, “I don’t know if there’s going to be another. You’re asking for America.”

Queer Eye fans must know Karamo Brown, who also hosted Karamo, a daytime talk show focused on conflict resolution. Unfortunately, Karamo is also one of the canceled shows. After a five-season run, the show was not renewed for its sixth season. Along with that, the host also parted ways with Queer Eye and is busy making motivational videos across social media.

After a short span of one season, Stumble was canceled. The news broke earlier in March. It featured Kristin Chenoweth along with Jenn Lyon, Jarrett Austin Brown, Taran Killam, Anissa Borrego, and Arianna Davis. Despite positive feedback, the viewership didn’t do the show justice. As a result, it wasn’t renewed by NBC.
