All the Canceled and Renewed TV Shows in April 2024

NCIS: Hawai'i is saying aloha after three seasons

TV Guide Editors May 3, 2024 at 2:18 p.m. PT

April is generally the month of rebirth, as spring brings the renewal of flowers, baby animals, and warm weather, but what about television? Which television shows burst through the soil with new life in April, and which were forever buried? Our list of all the canceled and renewed shows in April will tell you. The month brought some of the biggest renewals of 2024: ABC's 9-1-1, just weeks after its debut on the network, was thrown a lifeline and will return for Season 8 next year; Grey's Anatomy is scrubbing in for Season 21; and The Rookie will be back for Season 7. CBS also had a big month, with renewals of Elsbeth, NCIS, The Neighborhood, The Equalizer, all three FBI series, and S.W.A.T. — yes, the same S.W.A.T. that was already canceled once and then brought back for what was supposed to be its final season.

But it was bad news for Star Trek: Lower Decks, which will end with its fifth season, as well as NBC's Quantum Leap, which has been canceled after two seasons. CBS also dropped the axe on CSI: Vegas, NCIS: Hawai'i, and So Help Me Todd.

Whether you're looking to celebrate more of your favorites or mourn the loss of something on your regular rotation, we're keeping tabs on all the shows that have been canceled or renewed this month below.
