The coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact on many, many industries across the globe, including the entertainment world.
Because loads of productions were forced to grind to a halt earlier this year, there’s been an unprecedented slew of TV show cancellations in 2020.
In addition to that, there are a bunch of other shows that announced this year that they only have one or two seasons left in them and good god, it feels like the TVpocalypse.
That’s not to say that all of these shows got the chop ‘cos of Rona, some of them were pulled either for political or social justice reasons (a.k.a. Cops), because their story had simply run its course, or because they bombed in the ratings.
