AXED!
What We Do In The Shadows isn’t the only show cut from FX.
In June, the network announced that Breeders was ending after four seasons.
Starring Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard, the family comedy concluded after the final 10 episodes.
The new season premiered on July 31 on FX, with weekly installments of the episodes available on Hulu the following day.
Fans learned that Breeders was renewed for a fourth season in July 2022, just hours after the third season ended.
It quickly grew in popularity last year after the show was offered on international streaming services, such as Star+ in Latin America.
Now the series will conclude by skipping five years to show the Worsley’s face big challenges in their marriage and as parents.
FANS’ REACTIONS
Viewers expressed their frustrations about the show’s end on X, with one tweeting: “Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!” with a bunch of laughing face emojis.
Another disappointed fan wrote: “Awww I loved that show!”
A third echoed the thought: “I love this show. I wish it wasn’t ending.”
While a fourth found it bittersweet there was one last season: “Can not wait! Sad it’s the last series! Love this program.”
CANCELED SHOWS
In May, FX’s partner channel, FXX, announced another popular series being released from their lineup.

Archer debuted on FX in 2009 and moved to FXX in 2017.
And just weeks earlier, Fox canceled the medical drama, The Resident after six seasons on the air.
The show reportedly got canned due to low ratings, with the latest season down 12% in viewership from season five and 35% from season one.
