‘Missing’ Shows, Found! The Latest on Hacks, The Orville, Snowpiercer and 20+ Others

Someone find a really, really large milk carton, because we have some “missing” TV shows to report on!

• The Regime: HBO Releases Official Trailer For Kate Winslet Limited Series

• Percy Jackson and the Olympians Renewed for Season 2 at Disney+

In these times of “un-renewals” and “disappeared” content, TV shows more than ever have had a tendency to go “missing” after being renewed, or after a finale airs. So, as we do now and again, let’s see if TVLine can help hunt down your MIA favorite.

The “Lost & Found” list below covers three and only three kinds of shows, so read these parameters very closely before you “What about…?” us:

❶ Renewed a long time ago, but it has been crickets 🦗 since.

❷ Last aired more than nine months ago, and there is still no official word on cancellation or renewal.

❸ Has been on midseason “hiatus” for… a while.

Period.

This is not a Renewed/Cancelled scorecard (we have many of those). Far from it. No, this is a recurring status report on select shows that have been out of sight but not out of mind for their patient fans.

Peruse the list below and then hit the comments and tell us which TV series you are (still!) impatiently waiting for. And if your favorite “forgotten” show isn’t featured here, be sure to check out our Broadcast, Cable and Streaming Renewal Scorecards — or email InsideLine@tvline.com to issue a “BOLO” and we’ll (maybe) hunt it down for ya!

61ST STREET (The CW)

Last aired: Season 1 aired on AMC April 10 through May 29, 2022.

Current status: Season 2 was scrapped at AMC before it could air, as part of a cost-cutting measure (and despite the fact that all episodes had already been filmed). The CW then swooped in to offer Season 2 a home, with both seasons airing back-to-back beginning at “midseason”/presumably early 2024..

ALEX RIDER (Freevee)

Last aired: Season 2 of the British spy thriller dropped Dec. 3, 2021, on Amazon’s ad-supported Freevee service.

Current status: Production on Season 3 began Jan. 19, 2023 (in the UK and Malta) and wrapped in the spring. A premiere date, however, remains TBD.

THE A WORD (Sundance TV)

Last aired: The six-episode third season aired in Spring 2020 across the pond (two-and-a-half years after Season 2), and at the end of 2020 Stateside on Sundance TV.

Current status:

There is no word one way or the other on a fourth season (“series”), but a Ralph & Katie spinoff following the characters played by Leon Harrop and Sarah Gordy and their first year of married life was announced in August 2020 and premiered across the pond on Oct. 5 on BBC One (watch trailer); TVLine is checking into any Stateside release plans.

CHAD (Roku)

Last aired: Season 1 of the Nasim Pedrad comedy aired April 6 through May 25, 2021.

Current status: Two months after being un-renewed by TBS (which came on the day of its scheduled Season 2 premiere, no less), Roku announced that it would stream the second season. Roku premiered the second season on Jan. 19.

CONDOR (MGM+)

Last aired: Season 2 of the former Audience Network thriller series aired in August 2020 — on Epix, which had acquired its first two seasons.

Current status: Epix (now known as MGM+) announced in early February 2022 that it was in development with a third season of Condor (as well as a Season 2 for Chapelwaite).

UPDATE: Though development on more Chapelwaite has been scrapped, Condor‘s own fate remains TBD.

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT (Max)

Last aired: Season 2 of the darkly comedic thriller was released May 26, 2022.

Current status: “We did two — we should probably be done,” Emmy-nominated star and EP Kaley Cuoco told People.com in May 2022. “There’s definitely interest [from others] in doing a third season. I think for me, at this moment, the plane has landed.”

UPDATE: Cuoco announced in January 2024 that The Flight Attendant has in fact been grounded forever.

HACKS (Max)

Last aired: Season 2 streamed May 12 through June 2, 2022 — shortly after which Season 3 was ordered. Production on Season 3 began in December 2022 but then paused in February 2023, as series lead Jean Smart underwent and recovered from an undisclosed heart procedure. Production resumed in mid-March but paused again for the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Update: Season 3 will arrive during “the first half of 2024.”

HALO (Paramount+)

Last aired: Season 1 of the video game adaptation streamed March 24 through May 19, 2022.

Current status: Filming for Season 2 wrapped in May, series lead Pablo Schreiber shared on Instagram. By some unconfirmed accounts, post-production might not be completed until early 2024.

UPDATE: Halo Season 2 premieres Feb. 8.

HIGHTOWN (Starz)

Last aired: Season 2 aired Oct. 17 through Dec. 26, 2021; Season 3 was ordered two months later.

Current status: It was reiterated to me in October that the Monica Raymund and James Badge Dale-led “Cape Cod” crime drama will return during “the back half of 2023.”

UPDATE: Hightown‘s third — and final — season premiered Jan. 26.

HOLEY MOLEY (ABC)

Last aired: Season 4 aka “Holey Moley Fore-Ever” aired May 3 through July 12, 2022.

Current status: As of late June 2023, there is still no word, one way or the other, on the competition series’ fate.

MASTER OF NONE (Netflix)

Last aired: Season 1 of the Emmy-winning comedy from co-star Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang dropped Nov. 6, 2015… Season 2 followed a year-and-a-half later… and a pandemic- (and other things-) delayed Season 3 arrived a full four years after that, in May 2021. Subtitled Moments in Love, Season 3 no longer focused on Ansari’s Dev, but instead, on Denise (played by Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe).

Current status: Netflix says that the series has not been cancelled.

THE NEVERS (HBO)

Last aired: The first half of the 12-episode first season concluded on May 16, 2021. Season 1B — which began filming in June 2021 and wrapped that December — was originally pencilled in to premiere in 2022.

Current status: The Nevers will no longer finish its season on HBO, and instead the entirety of Season 1 (including six never-seen episodes!) streamed on Tubi and Roku.

NURSES

Last aired: Season 1 of the Canadian medical drama aired Stateside on NBC from December 2020 through February 2021.

Current status: Though at least one additional season has aired in Canada (in Summer 2022), NBC has no plans to give it a Stateside home.

THE ORVILLE (Hulu)

Last aired: Season 3 aka The Orville: New Horizons streamed June 2 through Aug. 4, 2022. When TVLine spoke with series creator/star Seth MacFarlane after the finale, he said that one sticky wicket was, “How do I work it into everything else that’s now going on?” (including but not limited to his Ted prequel series for Peacock). “I will say that I get as emotionally invested in the show as any of the fans, so I will find a way to do it if there is a Season 4.”

Craig Erwich, President, ABC Entertainment, Hulu & Disney Branded Television Streaming Originals, told TVLine in January, “It’s a great show and I know that the fans loved having it back in their lives. And Seth did a great job, uniquely as he can, in front of and behind the camera. But we don’t have anything to share right now.” (As of Nov. 29 — after Adrianne Palicki hinted at cancellation — there are no official updates.)

Current status: “All I can say is the same thing that Hulu said, which is the show is not dead,” MacFarlane told TVLine in January 2024. “Nobody has told me that it’s dead from the network, so we’re proceeding under those auspices.”

THE POLITICIAN (Netflix)

Last aired: Season 2 of the Ben Platt-led dramedy released all seven episodes back on June 19, 2020.

Current status: Season 3 has not officially been ordered — but there is no real rush, either. As show boss Ryan Murphy once explained to Collider, “Where Season 2 ends, what I would love to do is take a couple of years off and have Ben Platt get a little bit older for his final[, presidential] race. That’s always what we had designed, and I think that’s what our plan is…. Ben is young, so I want to wait a couple of years to figure out how we age him up a little bit.”

THE PREMISE (Hulu)

Last aired: Season 1 of the B.J. Novak-hosted anthology — which tackled hard-hitting issues such as gun control, identity, social justice, sex, capitalism, revenge, love, fame and social media — streamed via (what was then known as) “FX on Hulu” from Sept. 16 to Oct. 7, 2021.

Current status: There will be no Season 2.

RATCHED (Netflix)

Last aired: The Sarah Paulson-led One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest “origin story” developed by Ryan Murphy received a two-season order right out of the gate; Season 1 dropped on Sept. 18, 2020.

Current status: Paulson reportedly told our sister site Variety in the summer of 2022 that she doesn’t know if a second season is in the works or not.

UPDATE: Paulson told a fan, on video, in February 2024, “No,” there will not be another season.

RUSSIAN DOLL (Netflix)

Last aired: The pandemic-delayed Season 2 premiered back on April 20, 2022.

Current status: Though Russian Doll was always envisioned as having a three-season plan, star/EP Natasha Lyonne — who now fronts Peacock’s acclaimed Poker Face — said that while there are “potentially more” adventures for Nadia to have, “I think it’s gonna take some time.”

SNOWPIERCER (???)

Last aired: Season 3 aired on TNT Jan. 24 through March 28, 2022.

Current status: Season 4 — which was ordered in July 2021, well ahead of Season 3’s premiere — was announced to be the final season in June 2022, but wound up getting scrapped at TNT in January 2023 (after production had wrapped). Since then, lead producer Tomorrow Studios has been trying to find a new home for that finished season of episodes, but with no results yet (as of November 2023).

SPIN THE WHEEL (Fox)

Last aired: Season 1 finale aired Sept. 5, 2019.

Current status: No decision has been made on the fate of the Dax Shepard-hosted game show, which is nowhere to be seen on Fox’s 2021-22 schedule.

UPDATE: Nope, it hasn’t been cancelled.

SPRUNG (Freevee)

Last aired: Season 1 of the crime comedy, led by Garrett Dillahunt, streamed on Amazons’s Freevee hub Aug. 19 through Sept. 15, 2022.

Current status: As recently as June 3, 2023, series creator Greg Garcia was still “waiting to see if Amazon wants to do more.” A show rep had no updates share as of July 3.

SUPER PUMPED (Showtime)

Last aired: Season 1 of the anthology series — which was subtitled The Battle For Uber, and based on Mike Isaac’s book of the same name — aired Feb. 27 through April 20, 2022. Ahead of the series’ premiere, Super Pumped was renewed for a second season, which is to follow Isaac’s forthcoming book about the rise of Facebook.

Current status: Showtime, which recently “disappeared” Super Pumped Season 1 from its streaming platform, has no updates to share at this time.

TABOO (FX)

Last aired: Season 1 aired Stateside on FX in January/February 2017; Season 2 was ordered that March.

Current status: The last time FX chief Jon Landgraf was asked about the BBC-produced period drama (in February 2019), he listed it among several between-seasons series that were “still active” at the cabler. Much more recently, Steven Knight — who co-created the series with Tom Hardy, who in recent years has been busy with, among other things, two Venom movies — told Collider in November 2021 that with six of eight episodes written, “we are trying to get the stars aligned so that we can get our star back on set.”

WARRIOR NUN (Netflix)

Last aired: Season 1 of the fantasy drama was released in July 2020; seven weeks later, Netflix ordered a second season of the “demon-fighting nuns.” Following at least six months of pandemic-related delays, Season 2 was released Nov. 10, 2022… and the series was cancelled a month later.

UPDATE: Series creator Simon Barry tweeted in late June that an “epic” “return” was afoot, though as TVLine scooped, no deals are in place, and certainly not at Netflix, for either a wrap-up movie or shortened Season 3.

WE ARE LADY PARTS (Peacock)

Last aired: Season 1of the British sitcom streamed May 20 through June 24, 2021; a Season 2 renewal followed that November.

Current status: As a guest on our sister site THR’s TV’s Top 5 podcast, Susan Rovner, Chairman of Entertainment Content for all of NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said that because of creator Nida Manzoor’s availability, it will be “a little while” until Season 2 is done.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? (NBC)

Last aired: The Season 10 finale of the celebrity family tree-climbing series aired in December 2018, on TLC. In May 2019, it was announced that the series would be returning to NBC (its home for the first three seasons) for Season 11. Season 11 premiered July 10, 2022, on NBC.

Current status: WDYTYA is a show that “cycles on and off” as creative dictates, it was explained to TVLine, and there were no new episodes being made as of May 2023.
