List of television series canceled after one episode
Encyclopedia
The list of television series canceled after one episode consists of programs that were quickly removed from a broadcast schedule and/or had production halted after their premiere
s. Such immediate cancellations
are extremely rare cases and are usually attributed to a combination of extremely negative reviews, very poor ratings
, radical or controversial content, or circumstances beyond the network's control.
Purposely excluded from this list are pilots
, premiere episodes produced primarily to be reviewed by network executives as a proposed series and backdoor pilots, feature-length premiere episodes produced to be broadcast as an extended premiere or as a distinct television movie. In either case, the pilot was never added to the programming or was aired as a television movie
(for example, Virtuality
) with no intent of producing a series.
