NBC Axes 10 Shows: Beloved Series Endures Decades
2 Jun
Summary
- NBC is canceling 10 daytime and primetime shows this season.
- Access Hollywood and Access Daily will end in September 2026.
- NBC is shifting focus to live sports, impacting its schedule.
NBC is making sweeping changes to its programming, canceling 10 shows. Among the affected series is Access Hollywood, which will sign off in September 2026 after nearly 30 years. Its sister show, Access Daily, is also concluding.
Further impacting the daytime schedule, NBC is ending first-run syndicated programming, meaning Karamo and The Steve Wilkos Show are also wrapping up. The Kelly Clarkson Show will conclude after seven seasons, a decision made by Clarkson herself.
Primetime is not immune, with scripted and unscripted series also facing cancellation. Brilliant Minds and the critically acclaimed comedy Stumble have been canceled, while Deal or No Deal Island and On Brand with Jimmy Fallon are also axed due to low ratings. Law & Order: Organized Crime has also reached its conclusion after five seasons.
The network's strategy involves a significant pivot to live sports. NBC is dedicating Sundays year-round to sports coverage, featuring NBA games and baseball, which reduces available slots for scripted and unscripted series.
