According to Pop Culture, the biggest shocker in terms of cancellation of a show came from the network, Fox, when it refused to renew the award-winning comedy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, although it had high ratings.

However, NBC did not miss the opportunity and was quick to bag the rights of the show and ordered 13 episodes for its sixth season. Season 6 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is set to premiere on NBC in 2019.

NBC canceled the highly anticipated action-drama series Taken after only one season. The network also canceled Great News, The Brave, and Rise.

Fox had to free up some time-slots after bagging a five-year contract with NFL. The channel executives were under a lot of pressure to make space for Major League Baseball games.

Lucifer, starring Tom Ellis and Lauren German, was not renewed by the network for its fourth installment. Although The Last Man on Earth made it to season four, it was canceled.

The Exorcist and The Mick were also canceled after their third season.
