Ransom Canyon will not be returning for a third season at Netflix.

In addition to Duhamel and Kelly, the cast also included Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, Marianly Tejada, Jack Schumacher, Casey W. Johnson, Philip Winchester and Justin Johnson Cortez. “A heartfelt drama set against the sweeping vistas of Texas Hill Country, Ransom Canyon follows the intersecting lives of deep-rooted families in a town where your neighbors know everyone’s business.

Published by Daniella Wilson

Netflix has reconsidered its initial decision to cancel Tyler Perry’s high-stakes drama, Beauty in Black, after three seasons. In December, the streamer originally announced the series had been renewed for a third and final season. However, in a reversal, the series has now been renewed for a fourth season, ahead of its season three premiere. “That Bellarie reign just won’t let up! SEASON 4 of Beauty In Black is officially in the works!!” Netflix said Wednesday on social media. Along with the announcement, the streamer included a video of cast members and Perry sharing the news. “The Bellaries are not done causing trouble,” star Taylor Polidore Williams revealed, with co-star Crystle Stewart adding, “We’ve been keeping this secret as long as we could.” “Brand new episodes of Beauty in Black is [sic] coming,” Perry said. “Thank you for riding with us at Netflix on this Bellarie trip that’s gonna go crazy next season. We’ll see you in season four.” ‘Beauty in Black’ was originally expected to conclude with season three (QUANTRELL COLBERT/NETFLIX) The show, which …

I canceled these 5 monthly subscriptions by self-hosting on hardware I already owned

Published by Miika Tikkanen

I’m not a fan of having dozens of software subscriptions leeching my bank account every month, and I’m sure you’re not either. Open-source software might not always be the better option, but when it comes to ridding yourself of subscriptions while also protecting your privacy, it can be hard to beat. Especially considering you don’t need exotic hardware to self-host a lot of tools. If you’ve got an old Raspberry Pi, mini PC, laptop, or even phone lying around, you already own hardware that can self-host a tool you’re probably paying for. I self-host several programs for both personal and professional use, and that’s led to a ton of canceled subscriptions.

Why Netflix Canceled ‘The Boroughs’ (Exclusive)

Why Netflix Canceled ‘The Boroughs’ (Exclusive)

Published by Daniella Wilson

It’s not every day that a hit TV show gets canceled while it’s on the streaming ratings charts, but that’s exactly what happened with the Duffer Brothers‘ Netflix series The Boroughs. On Wednesday, news broke that Netflix has dropped the axe on the sci-fi series less than one month after its release (and with mere days left in Emmy voting). The Boroughs had a strong cast — Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, Clarke Peters and Bill Pullman — and even stronger producers in Matt and Ross Duffer, the Upside Down Pictures guys behind Netflix’s Stranger Things. (The series was created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews of Off Franklin Productions.) The Boroughs also super-served an overlooked demographic — especially for streaming — senior citizens. (The Boroughs definitely had Cocoon vibes.) But the weirdest part of all of this is: The Boroughs worked. In its first four days, The Boroughs was second place on Netflix’s top 10 English-language TV chart with 5.6 million views. In its first full week, it jumped to No. …

‘The Runarounds’ Canceled After 1 Season at Prime Video

‘The Runarounds’ Canceled After 1 Season at Prime Video

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Runarounds has been canceled after one season at Prime Video. The news comes after the installment dropped on the streamer in the beginning of September, with no word on its future since. The coming-of-age drama hailed from Outer Banks creators Jonas and Josh Pate, who formed a real-life rock band to star at the center of the musical coming-of-age drama. William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock and Jesse Golliher starred as the band on the show, and they are currently on tour offscreen. The group was formed in 2021 after Jonas issued a casting call for a group to appear on the Netflix hit Outer Banks. Lilah Pate, Maximo Salas, Kelley Pereira, Marley Aliah, Mark Wystrach, Brooklyn Decker, Hayes MacArthur and Shea Pritchard rounded out the season one cast. Jonas previously told The Hollywood Reporter he had a five-season plan for The Runarounds. Season two would have followed the group in a “super crappy van on the regional tour playing colleges and 200 capacity rooms” as they worked to performing at a premium festival, …

Canceled by Hinge – The Atlantic

Updated at 9:55 a.m. ET on March 23, 2026 Saint Patrick’s Day 2023 had been one of those particularly defeating nights out. Jenna Enfield’s roommates, dressed in shamrocks and green, piled onto her bed, shouting edits as she drafted and redrafted the message. “You and I had something very special and I’m so lost without you,” Enfield typed into her phone. “I love you, I need you, I yearn for you. Please.” She was writing not to a lost love, but to Hinge, the dating app, which had banned her from its platform a few weeks earlier, with no explanation beyond that she’d violated the app’s guidelines. Hinge, with approximately 30 million users, is one of the most popular dating apps in America. Like other dating apps, it can kick people off at its discretion. Users are encouraged to report anyone on the site who sends offensive or abusive messages, or who behaves inappropriately on dates. But according to Match Group, the company that owns Hinge and other platforms, “80% of harmful accounts are proactively …

‘Rehab Addict’ Canceled by HGTV After Nicole Curtis Uses Racial Slur

Published by Daniella Wilson

HGTV has canceled its home restoration series, Rehab Addict, after host Nicole Curtis was caught using a racial slur during filming. The network told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement on Wednesday, “HGTV was recently made aware of an offensive racial comment made during the filming of Rehab Addict. Not only is language like this hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners, and employees — it does not align with the values of HGTV. Accordingly, we have removed the series from all HGTV platforms. We remain dedicated to fostering a culture of respect and inclusion across our content and our workplace.” Once it was announced that Rehab Addict would be ending after nine seasons, Curtis addressed the news on her Instagram, writing, “There is more to this, but my family comes first and I need to be mom right now more than anything else. I will take the time to be as I’ve always been with you, transparent and honest. TMZ called me as I had just turned my phone on after being at school …

Sherri Shepherd Talk Show Canceled After Four Seasons

Sherri Shepherd Talk Show Canceled After Four Seasons

Published by Daniella Wilson

Another syndicated daytime talk show will end its run after this season. Debmar-Mercury, the Lionsgate-owned syndicated TV production company, says that it is canceling Sherri, the talker hosted by Sherri Shepherd, after four seasons. “This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production — which has found strong creative momentum this season — or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd,” said Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.” Production on Sherri’s fourth season will continue as planned, with the final episodes slated to air this fall. The news of Sherri’s cancellation came just hours after NBCUniversal announced plans to sunset The Kelly Clarkson Show after seven seasons. As the Debmar-Mercury executives noted, the marketplace for daytime talk shows (and frankly, TV talk shows in general) has deteriorated in recent years amid pay-TV declines, a challenging advertising environment and …
