Major Shows Canceled in 2026: Colbert, Law & Order, Good Cop Bad Cop

0:00On April 20th, TV networks are dropping some major shows in 2026, hitting fans hard with cancellations like CBS's The Late Show, with Stephen Colbert, plus DMV and Watson on the same network. Stephen Colbert broke the news back in July 2025, telling his live audience that next year would be their final season, wrapping up in May 2026. The crowd booed right there in the studio, and Colbert shared the pain, saying it's not just his gig ending, but the whole late show era on CBS. Vanishing, no replacement in sight. CBS execs say it's all about finances, nothing to do with ratings or content, and they're shifting late night to comics unleashed with Byron Allen. Afterward, meanwhile, NBC acts law and order, organized crime after five rocky seasons with six showrunner changes, and the CW ditched good cop slash bad. Cobbmore cuts likely coming as networks tighten belts. This has been Entertainment and Celebrity News Today, powered by AI.
