This list contains shows whose networks made their cancellation announcements in 2021, even if a show won’t air its final season until 2022. Series like the CW’s Supergirl and Netflix’s Money Heist made their respective decisions in 2020.

We’re keeping a running tally on all of the TV shows that have been cancelled or announced to be ending in 2021 so far. Some of the latest shows on the chopping block are Hulu’s Shrill, and TNT’s long-running crime drama, Animal Kingdom. TV shows could be cancelled for a number of reasons: ratings, budget, casting complications, and behind-the-scenes executive decisions we’ll never completely understand. Back in 2020, series like ABC’s Stumptown and Netflix’s GLOW were abruptly cancelled even after being renewed for additional seasons due to COVID-19 concerns.

On the other hand, series like BBC’s Peaky Blinders and Netflix’s On My Block have announced in advance when they’re ending, allowing both shows to go out on their own terms and hopefully craft a series finale with a satisfying conclusion. In the case of Peaky Blinders, showrunner Steven Knight told Deadline that after the show’s sixth and final season airs, there will be a movie to wrap up the story.

For a look at all of the cancelled or ending shows announced in 2021, check out the gallery below:

David Griffin still watches DuckTales in his pajamas with a cereal bowl in hand. He’s also the TV Editor for IGN. Say hi on Twitter.

DCEU fans will be able to catch Jared Leto’s Joker, complete with his new look, in Zack Snyder’s Justice League when it streams on HBO Max starting March 18. But let’s not forget that Joker’s ex-squeeze, Harley Quinn, will be making her third movie appearance in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad this summer, on August 6. And Gunn can’t wait for us to see what actress Margot Robbie’s done with the role this time around.

Answering questions on Twitter, Gunn was asked which Suicide Squad character he was most excited for viewers to experience. His answer?

“It’s hard to choose only one,” Gunn wrote, “but I can’t wait for people to see where Margot has gone with Harley.”

“And Weasel is really something to behold.”

When we last saw Harley Quinn, in 2020’s Birds of Prey, she and Cassandra Cain sold the Bertinelli diamond in order to start their own business. Though nothing is confirmed, Gunn’s comments seem to suggest Harley, perhaps, going even more off the deep end. Regardless of what direction Robbie’s taking the character, however, Gunn’s psyched for us to bear witness.

Gunn’s brother, Sean Gunn, who plays Ravager Kraglin in the MCU, is portraying (mo-capping) Weasel in The Suicide Squad.

The new plot synopsis for The Suicide Squad, released by Warner Bros., mentions the war-torn nation of Corto Maltese as a the film’s backdrop. Corto Maltese is a fictional island nation in the DC Universe, first appearing in 1986’s The Dark Knight Returns #3, and then referenced in multiple live-action DC projects over the years, including 1989’s Batman.

Gunn recently confirmed that The Suicide Squad is now “fully finished,” and praised Warner Bros. for not even slightly interfering with the movie.

Detective Chinatown 3 had an incredible opening weekend in China with estimated ticket sales reaching $393 million, a number that not only surpasses Avengers: Endgame’s North American opening of $357 million, but sets a record for a single market.

As reported by THR and BoxOfficeGuru.com’s founder Gitesh Pandya, Detective Chinatown 3 led China’s box office over the Lunar New Year alongside the $160 million earned by the time-travel romantic comedy Hi, Mom.

These early projections were given by ticketing app Maoyan and show that, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, China’s theatrical box office appears to be healthy and booming. It’s also important to note that Detective Chinatown 3 was one of the many films delayed due to the pandemic.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/21/best-movie-of-the-year-2020-winner”]

Maoyan also projects that Detective Chinatown 3 will conclude its run at $865 million, which would earn it the title of China’s second-biggest blockbuster film ever, slightly missing out on dethroning 2017’s Wolf Warrior’s $874 million.

Hi, Mom may have actually end up being one of the reasons Detective Chinatown 3 will fail to surpass Wolf Warrior 2, as “word of mouth for the comedy turned tepid” and Hi, Mom saw its share of daily earnings jump from 17.2% on Friday to 31% on Sunday, while Detective Chinatown 3 fell from 60% to 50%.

Detective Chinatown 3 was shot entirely on IMAX cameras earned $23.5 million in Chinese IMAX theaters, making it the biggest opening weekend ever for a Chinese IMAX film.

The fantasy survival game Valheim is available in Early Access on Steam right now, and less than two weeks after it became available, the game is already soaring up the Steam charts. As of right now, it has more than 300,000 concurrent players and is beating out the likes of Rust, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and Grand Theft Auto V.

In fact, only two games–Steam staples Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive–have more concurrent players on the service. Valheim isn’t coming close to hitting those numbers, but getting this many concurrent players on a brand-new game that isn’t free-to-play is extremely impressive.

A few days earlier, Valheim had already managed to sell one million copies on Steam. That was after just a week, and the game’s cooperative focus and excellent user-reviews likely contributed to its massive early success. Of more than 32,000 reviews listed on Steam, 96% are positive.

There will be several updates coming in 2021 to make the game better, with apparent updates to home customization and boats and sailing among those planned. As of now, the game is only available on PC, though it could possibly come to other platforms.

If you’re struggling early on trying to survive in Valheim, we’ve rounded up some Valheim beginner tips that should help you out. These include the tips you need to build, repair, improve your skills, and acquire more resources.

Valheim developer Iron Gate is advising all players to back up their world and characters, as the “evil world-destroyer bug is still roaming free.”

Iron Gate’s CEO Richard Svensson took to Twitter to share the warning, and let Valheim players know that the developer has yet to reproduce the bug even once, meaning it is still impacting certain players.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/12/valheim-11-tips-to-get-you-started”]

Svensson notes that it “seems to occur more often if you exit the game by ALT+F4, so try to use menu->exit instead.”

He also notes that, if PC Valheim players weren’t aware, worlds and characters are saved in C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalLowIronGateValheim.

Valheim has been a huge success for Iron Gate, despite being in Early Access, and it sold over one million copies in just 8 days. As of this writing, Valheim is the third-most played game on Steam with a current player count of 297,783. Valheim peaked at 346,170 today, February 14, as well.
