Cancelled and Renewed TV Shows: April 2026

Renewal and cancellation season continues to be in full swing, with April bringing us the first renewal and cancellation of the month for the same show. Disney’s “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” will be back for a third season on Disney+ and Disney Channel this summer, marking the end of the series. Even magical powers can only do so much in today’s competitive TV world. On the other hand, Prime Video’s rock band drama, “The Runarounds,” has been canceled after its first season.

Netflix wasted no time in renewing “Love on the Spectrum,” granting the reality series a fifth season just two days after the premiere of Season 4. Whether you’re cheering on your favorite shows or feeling the sting of a cancellation, we’ve got you covered with all the latest updates on what’s been renewed or canceled in April.

In the cancellation department, Prime Video’s “The Runarounds” won’t be getting an encore, as the YA drama about teens forming a rock and roll band has been canceled after one season. The band created for the show will continue to tour (Deadline, April 6).

On the renewal side of things, Netflix’s “Love on the Spectrum” is coming back for Season 5 after the U.S. version of the reality dating series premiered its fourth season on April 1. However, it seems fan favorite Connor Tomlinson will not be returning for the new season (Variety, April 3).
