TV fanatics are still recovering from a tough year of goodbyes, having bid adieu to at least 87 series that ended in 2024. And this year? We should prepare for more of the same, it seems.

Although the list below doesn’t quite feature 80-plus shows (yet), we are keeping track of the nearly-two-dozen-and-counting series that will wrap their runs in 2025.

More from TVLine

At the moment, broadcast-TV fans have it easiest: Only Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star and ABC’s The Conners are confirmed to end thus far, though we suspect more titles will be added to that category in future months. Meanwhile, if you watch a lot of streaming shows — especially on Netflix — you might be in for a long string of farewells, with Cobra Kai, Squid Game, Stranger Things, The Handmaid’s Tale and Good Omens among the series poised to conclude.

Not every departing show has a premiere and/or finale date just yet, but we’ll be updating this list with new intel as it gets announced; be sure to bookmark it for the most current information! (Series that appear slated to end in 2026 or later, like Netflix’s Outer Banks and The Witcher, are not currently on our list, but may get added as scheduling news breaks.)

Keep scrolling for a reminder of which shows are ending in 2025, then drop a comment with the one(s) you’ll miss most!

9-1-1: Lone Star

Fox’s 9-1-1 offshoot, currently on winter hiatus during its fifth and final season, will return Monday, Jan. 20, at 8/7c for its last stretch of episodes. The series finale is slated for Monday, Feb. 3.

Bel-Air

Peacock’s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reimagining was renewed in December 2024 for a fourth and final season. A premiere timetable has not been announced, but the show has released a new season annually since its debut in 2022.

Big Mouth

Netflix renewed its adult animated series for an eighth and final season back in April 2023. Though the swan song was initially expected to premiere in 2024, the final episodes are now slated for sometime in 2025.

Billy the Kid

MGM+ renewed its Western period drama for a third and final season in October 2024. The swan song will premiere sometime in 2025.

Blood of Zeus

Netflix’s animated fantasy series will conclude with Season 3, premiering sometime in 2025.

Bosch: Legacy

Prime Video’s adaptation of Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch novels will wrap up with Bosch: Legacy’s third season, arriving in March 2025. The Bosch-verse will continue, though, via a spinoff focused on Maggie Q’s Det. Renée Ballard; the offshoot premieres in the fall.

The Boys

According to series creator Eric Kripke, production on The Boys’ fifth and final season began in November 2024. It has yet to be confirmed, though, whether the superhero satire will return for its conclusion in 2025 or 2026. (We’re crossing our fingers for the former!)

Cobra Kai

There’s one last batch of episodes left in Cobra Kai’s sixth and final season; those five installments will release Thursday, Feb. 13, on Netflix.

The Conners

ABC’s Roseanne continuation will end with Season 7, premiering in March 2025 (exact date TBA) and consisting of six episodes.

Good Omens

The good news: Prime Video’s Good Omens adaptation will be back for a third and final season. The bad news: The swan song will now consist of just one, 90-minute episode, after several sexual assault allegations were brought against showrunner and book co-author Neil Gaiman. Production will get underway in early 2025; though Gaiman contributed to the episode’s writing, he will not work on the production.

The Handmaid’s Tale

Season 6 will be the last for Hulu’s dystopian drama, which — after last airing in November 2022 — will be back for its final episodes in Spring 2025 (exact date TBA).

Heartbreak High

The Australian teen drama will return to Netflix for a third and final season sometime in 2025.

Like Water for Chocolate

Season 2 will be the last for Max’s Spanish-language adaptation of Laura Esquivel’s novel. It will premiere sometime in 2025.

Mo

After quite a long hiatus — Season 1 released back in August 2022 — Mohammed Amer’s Netflix comedy will return for its second and final season on Thursday, Jan. 30.

Outlander

Starz’s adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s novel series will conclude with Season 8. Although an exact premiere date has yet to be announced, the final season is expected sometime in 2025.

Power Book IV: Force

Power Book IV: Force — the Power spinoff centered on Joseph Sikora’s Tommy Egan — will end with its upcoming third season at Starz. A premiere timetable is yet to be announced.

Squid Game

Netflix’s hit Korean drama is set to wrap up with Season 3, releasing sometime in 2025.

Stranger Things

Fans of Netflix’s supernatural drama — which last released new episodes back in July 2022 (!) — will have their patience rewarded in 2025, when the series returns for its fifth and final season. The streamer has yet to announce an exact release date, but production on Season 5 wrapped in December 2024.

Upload

In March 2024, Prime Video renewed its sci-fi comedy for a fourth and final season, expected to release sometime in 2025.

Vera

The British crime drama — which streams Stateside via BritBox and Roku Channel — will come to an end with its 14th season, consisting of two two-hour installments. Episode 1 landed on BritBox on Jan. 2, and Episode 2 (aka the series finale) will release on Thursday, Jan. 9.

YOU

Penn Badgley’s serial killer drama — renewed for a fifth and final season back in March 2023 — will return to Netflix for its swan song in 2025.
