5 Superhero Shows Unfairly Left With Only 1 Season, Like Agatha All Along

Superhero movies might be going through a harsh crisis, but shows like this are doing way better, every now and then bringing its viewers unforgettable cinematic experiences.

Many of those series are turning into hits so big that it seems unfathomable to end it all with just one season, but some of them still receive bad news about their future and end up being abandoned right where they could’ve secured even more success.

Just like Marvel’s Agatha All Along that now risks being left behind without a highly anticipated second season, these shows also went off the screen on a high note, but never saw a deserved continuation after all.

WandaVision (2021)

A show that actually spawned Agatha All Along, WandaVision might be the one that proves Marvel’s ability to leave its comfort zone while exploring territories yet undiscovered by the superhero genre.

The series follows Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen ) and Vision (Paul Bettany) living a quiet family life in Westview, giving its viewers a refreshing blend of typical sitcom narratives and epic superhero elements.

WandaVision received only one season just because its creators didn’t see it as a long-term project, thus giving the entire story a good ending in the finale. However, some fans are still not over the fact that WandaVision is over too.

Watchmen (2019)

Damon Lindelof’s superhero drama is a different take on the genre that turns the tables and now reintroduces superheroes as practical outcasts; additionally, unlike many other shows alike, Watchmen dives deep into very life-like matters of racial injustice and self-identity.

The series was met with overall acclaim and would definitely keep doing just fine if a second season was an option, but Lindelof has repeatedly stated that the first season comprised everything he ever wanted to say with the story. However, he did give his permission for other filmmakers to pick Watchmen up once a good idea for another instalment comes along.

Wolverine and the X-Men (2009)

This animated series was supposed to go beyond just one season, but the production studio, confronted by financial struggles, had to cancel it after all.

Following the events after the X-Men fall apart, the show finds Wolverine embarking on a mission to bring the team back together and to prevent the entire world’s collapse. Wolverine and the X-Men was a hit that stunned both critics and viewers with a compelling storyline and exploration of complex themes, which is usually not what superhero series aim to do.

Constantine ( 2014 — 2015)

Expanding the iconic DC character’s story, Constantine follows John Constantine, a detective and demon hunter who, apart from his work issues, also has to deal with memories from the past that haunts him.

The show is a faithful adaptation to the original comics since both of them masterfully blend some truly terrifying elements with dark humour. Though Constantine was a hit that also got its fandom, the show still couldn’t get past low ratings and was canceled after just one season.

The Green Hornet (1966–1977)

Despite having nothing against modern superhero shows, The Green Hornet was just iconic in so many ways that it’s hard to ignore it while thinking about the best series that ended up untimely cancelled.

It stars Van Williams as Britt Reid, the Green Hornet, and Bruce Lee as Kato; the latter’s work on the show eventually boosted martial arts’ popularity in cinema and on TV.

Decades later, The Green Hornet is just as delightful as it was upon its release, and the show’s cancellation after one season due to low ratings still feels like the most unfair decision the TV of that time could ever come up with.
