We’re just over half way into the year and there have been dozens of shows on the TV chopping block.

Some have been expected and others have been total shockers. Here’s the cancellations that surprised us the most so far:

The Residence (Netflix)

A murder mystery set in the White House from Shonda Rhimes streaming on Netflix surely would have been a multi-season affair. But alas, the series was canceled after just one season.

Queer Eye (Netflix)

“Queer Eye” is not so much cancelled as coming to an end with it’s 10th season, filmed in Washington, D.C. Even with a major cast shake up and rumors of tensions behind the scenes, the show has been Netflix’s longest running unscripted series, winning multiple Primetime Emmys

Doctor Odessy (ABC)

Starring Joshua Jackson, Don Johnson, and Phillippa Soo, this series was like “Grey’s Anatomy” on a boat, but even spicier. Despite lots of internet buzz, the show was canceled on June 27.

Étoile (Prime Video)

Amy Sherman-Palladino had a major hit on Prime Video with “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” so it’s not a shock that her follow up series, Étoile, set in the world of ballet, would get picked up for not just one season but two. However it was a shock when the series was canceled before its debut season had even finished it’s turn on the dance floor.

Suits LA (NBC)

“Suits” gained renewed attention when it was streaming on Netflix recently, helped in part by Meghan Markle’s pre-royalty role on the show, so a revived spinoff made sense. But “Suits LA” came and went on NBC with limited fanfare and one short season this year.
