2026 has been brutal when it comes to our favorite shows getting canceled.

Netflix cut ties with Boots two months after the show premiered. Based on Greg Cope White‘s memoir, the scripted series followed Cameron (Miles Heizer) as he joined the U.S. Marine Corps alongside his best friend Ray (Liam Oh) during the 1990s, the era of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy regarding LGBTQ+ service members.

Cameron was forced to hide his sexuality while trying to make it through boot camp alongside Slovacek (Kieron Moore), Hicks (Angus O’Brien), Nash (Dominic Goodman), John (Blake Burt), Cody (Brandon Tyler Moore) and Ochoa (Johnathan Nieves).

Before being canceled, Boots found success at the network — doubling its weekly audience and rising to No. 2 on Netflix’s TV charts.

Prime Video’s Hotel Costiera was another major TV loss. The show, which premiered in September 2025, followed a former Marine Daniel (Jesse Williams), who worked as a fixer at a luxury hotel while also tasked with finding the owner’s daughter.

“I lost 13 pounds shooting this show and I was eating pasta and bread all the time,” Williams exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “I hear that story time and time again. People come here or Europeans go to America and they immediately get sick and they’re eating organic [food in the United States]. It’s a different world. So I was lucky in that respect here.”

He continued: “I started thinking I was going to have to be super rigorous. But I think exhaustion [from filming] helped me not put on many [pounds]. But also the sad truth is it’s not America. So it’s real ingredients and it doesn’t bloat or inflame you so much.”

Hotel Costiera also allowed Williams to fully immerse himself in Italian culture.

“Language is a big barrier. I learned a little bit of it. But being there a few months in, I was able to get through the first two-thirds of a conversation. And I was able to surprise people in being able to get in and out of expressions and conversations,” he shared with Us. “Moving through Rome — and especially Naples — which I really grew to love, that is a place where it gives you back the love that you give and the respect that you give.”

Williams recalled when he felt more like a local, saying, “There were absolutely moments in restaurants where I am coming across people who know my face and I’ve made some impact on them. But then they hear me talk to them in Italian, which throws them off completely. They embraced me in that way. So I had a really nice welcome.”
