Upfront season, for those who still follow the network television prime time schedules, is often a bittersweet one.

As the nets announce a new slate of fall television programs with unrestrained optimism designed to get the advertising dollars flowing, there is a tale they don’t tell the crowds at their annual event: that of the shows that have been sent to TV heaven.

This week, several shows got the ax from their respective networks, and most of them were on the newer side, perhaps just starting to find an audience. But in an era where network viewing is down (thanks to increased competition from a seemingly infinite array of streaming offerings) and a writer’s strike has hamstrung all television production, it’s not surprising that these shows will no longer have to struggle to find an audience.

Still, we offer our condolences if one of your favorite shows is among this list of departing dramas and comedies. Listed by network, the following shows are not returning after their (now series) finales have aired.

ABC

• Big Sky: Nothing, not even the lovely and talented Jensen Ackles could save this series, which lasted three seasons on ABC.
• The Company You Keep: ‘Company’ man Milo Ventimiglia drama about a complicated romance between a con man and a CIA agent didn’t stand a chance due to low ratings.
• Alaska Daily: The Hilary Swank series about a journalist from the Big Apple who relocates to Anchorage was canceled after one season due to low ratings.

CBS

• East New York: The police procedural starring Amanda Warren was sent packing after one season.
• True Lies: James Cameron’s action comedy was adapted for television by Matt Nix, but the multi-layered romantic-spy-comedy-drama blew its cover (so to speak) and was canceled after one season.

NBC

The Peacock Network has yet to officially cancel any shows, but the fates of American Auto, Young Rock, and Grand Crew have yet to be decided.

FOX

• Fantasy Island: The fantasy is over for the reboot of the classic ‘be careful what you wish for’ 1970s-1980s drama series, which lasted two seasons on Fox.
• Call Me Kat: Mayim Bialik’s comedy was canceled after three seasons due to low ratings.

CW

• The Winchesters: The Supernatural prequel series based on the lives of Sam and Dean’s parents was canceled after one season, a victim of the netlet’s new owner’s new business model.
• Kung Fu: The reboot of the original ’70s series starring Olivia Liang as the American woman who returns from a spiritual quest in China to clean up crime and corruption in America was canceled after three seasons.
• Walker: Independence: The prequel to the Jared Padalecki series Walker was canceled after one season. The OG Walker will return for a fourth season, though.

STREAMING

• Lockwood and Co., Netflix: The supernatural teen series is not getting a season 2.
• Yellowstone, Paramount Network: The modern Western juggernaut is coming to a surprising end with its fifth season, thanks in part to the departure of star Kevin Costner. It will return in November to air its final batch of episodes, after which the platform will launch an untitled sequel series, coming to Paramount Network and Paramount+ in December.

There is some channel jumping news, too. Courtney B. Vance’s 61st St. is moving to The CW next season, and 9-1-1 will leave its sister show 9-1-1 Lone Star after six seasons on Fox and start responding on ABC. As announced previously, the notoriously salty dating show FBoy Island will move from Max (fka HBO Max) to The CW, where it will be joined by inevitable spinoff FGirl Island.
