Some television series are canceled after one episode, quickly removed from a broadcast schedule, or had production halted after their premieres.
Such immediate cancellations are extremely rare and are usually attributed to a combination of very negative reviews, very poor ratings, radical or controversial content, or circumstances beyond the network's control.
Additional episodes in the former case can often come to constitute lost media if they are not made available through alternative means.
Shows are listed in chronological order with the date the episode aired, any backlash from it, and what happened to the series after cancellation.
The following series are sometimes included on lists of shows canceled after one episode, but strictly speaking do not belong there.
