Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

46. Next

Network: Fox
Status: Canceled After One Season

Originally slated for the spring of 2020, due to reasons beyond the control of anyone involved, the premiere of “Next” was delayed about 6 months. It was clear from the start that interest in a show about homeland cyber security was not what viewers were looking for as the pilot was only watched by about 1.81 million people.

Network executives recognized early on that continuing to air “Next” the following year would be a mistake, and before the third episode of the series had aired, the production’s showrunners had already learned that the end of the first season would also be the end of the series and that they would need to start looking for their “next” jobs.
