Last month, NBC put several series on hold pending a decision to renew or cancel them. Finally, the final fates of "Good Girls," "Manifest," "Zoe's Unusual Playlist," and "Debris" have been decided. Not good news.

All four series were terminated by NBC in a rather unceremonious manner. While the move is hardly shocking, it will still be a huge disappointment to fans of each series; TV cancellation season is always a tricky time for any show, but this year was particularly brutal, with several fan-favorite shows not being cancelled.

"Good Girls" was a comedy-drama starring Mae Whitman, Retta, and Christina Hendricks as housewives who become frustrated with their suburban lives and turn to crime. The show's third season aired last year, but unfortunately the fourth season will not.

Cast members have lamented the loss of the show on social media since the news broke. Whitman, while sharing an image of the show on Instagram Stories (via TV Line), wrote that she felt "so sad and confused that I can't look at (my) phone" but "wanted to share the best time with (my) girls." She ended her post by saying, "I will forever be grateful to you for supporting us :/ I'm going to go cry right now, I love you."

Hendricks shared a meme (embedded below) of Beth covering Annie's eyes and trying to hide the news of the cancellation. She captioned the post. I really gave it my all. Thank you to all of my wonderful fans over the years for your passion and support."

Whitman replied twice, first with ". " and then "Love you ladies more than anything on gods green." Whitman then posted a meme along with three emojis, including one of a woman with a broken heart and a shrug.

Matthew Lillard, who plays Dean Borland, said, "So. Very. sad."

Reno Wilson, who plays Stan Hill on the show, wrote, "Not ready to say goodbye yet. Enjoy your last season together. So for now, a few more #bts for Stan and his team. And our favorite costumes."

The musical series "Zoe's Unusual Playlist" always seemed to be in danger of being cancelled due to the huge costs of producing the show (licensing fees for songs by Taylor Swift and others are not cheap). It had just finished its second series last month on a major cliffhanger; a move to NBC's Peacock streaming service was considered but never materialized; the sci-fi series "Debris" ended after only 13 episodes, in a predictable cause-and-effect move; and the show's first season, "The Curse of the Zo," was aired in the fall of 2008. Even its reasonably high reputation could not save it.

Perhaps the biggest surprise on this list is "Manifest. This mystery show aimed very much to replicate the success of "Lost," and its central premise even featured a plane, which ran for three seasons. While the ratings were not a huge hit, the show did gain an audience thanks to its success on streaming platforms. The show's creator, Jeff Lake, has not been shy about his desire for other networks to pick up the series.

These four NBC shows join cancelled shows like "Jupiter's Legacy," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Last Man Standing," and "The Walking Dead" that will not see the 2021-22 television season. In the age of streaming, there is more content to enjoy than ever before, but that also means more series competing for the finite resources of the networks than ever before. No wonder cancellation lists continue to grow.

While it is always a shame when a show is cancelled before its creators have completed their vision, there is still much to look forward to in the upcoming TV shows that will be broadcast. Next month, "Ted Russo" will return on Apple TV Plus, and "Stranger Things" will be rebroadcast later this year.
