The news quickly sparked backlash online, with some Peacock subscribers claiming they’re considering canceling their memberships after learning that multiple fan-favorite shows won’t be returning.

The Difference Between Dragging Through Your Day And Feeling Great On Your Feet? These Arch Support Insoles
1. Law & Order: Organized Crime
After several seasons and a devoted fanbase, Law & Order: Organized Crime is coming to an end. The crime drama, led by Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler, became a favorite among viewers looking for a darker, more serialized addition to the Law & Order franchise.
Fans expressed frustration, with many arguing the series still had plenty of stories left to tell.
2. The Hunting Party
NBC's crime thriller The Hunting Party also landed on the cancellation list. The series starred Melissa Roxburgh and Josh McKenzie, and followed investigators tracking down dangerous criminals after a secret prison facility experienced a catastrophic breach. It was canceled after just two seasons.
Many viewers felt the show's premise still had room to grow and were disappointed by the network's decision. "Guess I won't need to keep my subscription," one user posted on X.
3. Brilliant Minds
NBC's medical drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto, has also reportedly been canceled. Inspired by the work of renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks, the series followed a doctor who approached patient care through a unique and highly empathetic lens.
Viewers praised the show's emotional storytelling and fresh perspective on the medical-drama genre.
4. Stumble
Comedy series Stumble won't be returning after NBC's latest programming decisions. The mockumentary-style show was highly praised for its comedic premise and ensemble cast, but it ultimately failed to secure a future on the network after the first season.
Say it ain't so! Fans expressed disappointment online. Many hoped the series would have more time to find a wider audience.
5. The Kelly Clarkson Show
One of daytime television's most successful programs, The Kelly Clarkson Show, is also ending. Although this isn't a cancelation from the network—Clarkson herself announced earlier this year that the seventh season would be the last—fans are upset by the news. The Emmy-winning talk show became known for Clarkson's interviews, celebrity guests, and viral "Kellyoke" performances.
Fans are particularly emotional about this announcement; the show has become a daily source of comfort and entertainment for many. Tears!
6. Access Hollywood
After decades covering celebrity news and entertainment, Access Hollywood is also coming to an end. The long-running program has been a staple of entertainment journalism, delivering red-carpet coverage, celebrity interviews, and breaking Hollywood news.
Its departure marks the end of an era for many longtime viewers.
7. Access Daily
NBC is also ending Access Daily, the daytime companion series that combined celebrity interviews, lifestyle segments, and trending topics. The show built a loyal audience over the years and became a regular part of many viewers' daily routines.
Fans expressed sadness about losing another familiar face from daytime television.
8. The Steve Wilkos Show
The Steve Wilkos Show is also among the programs reportedly ending after 20 year. Hosted by former Jerry Springer Show security guard Steve Wilkos, the daytime series tackled family conflicts, investigations, and personal disputes.
The show maintained a devoted following throughout its run, making the news disappointing for longtime fans.
9. Karamo
Rounding out the list is Karamo, hosted by Karamo Brown of Netflix's Queer Eye. The daytime talk show focused on personal growth, relationship issues, and conflict resolution, helping it carve out a dedicated audience—and warming hearts. Following the announcement, many viewers shared messages of support for Brown and reflected on their favorite moments from the show.
The Bottom Line
The announcement triggered an outpouring of reactions across social media, with some viewers saying the cancellations have given them fewer reasons to remain subscribed to Peacock. Several users criticized NBC's programming decisions, while others lamented the loss of shows they had followed for years. We're not sure if these cancelations will affect Peacock's subscriber numbers remains to be seen, but many aren't ready to say goodbye to these beloved programs just yet.
