Usually a show is cancelled once and then it’s game over; however, there have been a few instances in television history where a show has been cancelled more than once. We rounded up a list of 7 shows that were cancelled and then given a second shot, only to be cancelled again.
7. Southland
The critically acclaimed crime drama Southland aired on NBC for only one season in 2009 before it was cancelled due to falling ratings; however, the show was giving another shot when TNT purchased the rights to the show’s original seven episodes, as well as six completed episodes for its second season. The show stayed with TNT from 2010 until 2013 when it was cancelled after its fifth season.
