NEED TO KNOW

• Prime Video has announced the cancellations of The Runarounds, Gen V and Kevin
• The Runarounds followed a group of high school students starting a band of the same name after graduation
• Gen V, a spinoff from the hit show The Boys, was canceled after two seasons while Kevin was canceled after one

While Prime Video has some series coming to a planned end in 2026, the streamer has also announced a few cancellations.

In April 2026, Deadline confirmed that the young adult series The Runarounds was the first show to get the axe. The teen drama followed a group of high school graduates who form a garage rock band.

Although the show is coming to an end after one season, the band confirmed that they'll continue touring and making music together.

Later that same month, Gen V, which was a spinoff of the hit series The Boys, was canceled after its second season, a representative for Amazon MGM Studios confirmed to PEOPLE at the time. However, the executive producers revealed that some Gen V storylines will play out elsewhere in the franchise.

In addition to The Runarounds and Gen V, Prime canceled Aubrey Plaza's animated series Kevin after one season.

While several shows are ending this year and the next, Prime Video also announced new offerings at its upfronts on May 11, including The Oprah Podcast.

Here's everything to know about the Prime Video series canceled in 2026, so far.

Kevin

Plaza's animated show about a cat named Kevin was not picked up by Prime for a second season.

"Very disappointing since we were just getting going," she wrote on Instagram announcing the news. "I remember on the early days of Parks & Rec when we all thought we would be cancelled because our ratings weren’t great. Our numbers. But we had some special humans over at NBC that believed in the show and let us grow and let audiences fall in love with our characters."

Plaza continued, tying her older show to the new one, "I was hoping for this for Kevin but sadly we are living in a different time in our industry. I hope the machines won’t ruin everything. Maybe Kevin will find a new owner someday. Love you all very much. Meow."

Jason Schwartzman, Whoopi Goldberg and Plaza voiced characters in the show that followed a cat sent to a New York City animal shelter after his owners separate.

The Runarounds

Deadline confirmed on April 3, 2026, that The Runarounds was canceled after one season.

The young adult series followed "a group of recent high school graduates from Wilmington, North Carolina, who come together the summer after graduation to form a rock band, united by their shared love of music and near-impossible dream of stardom," per the show's synopsis.

The eight episodes featured the boys — played by William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock and Jesse Golliher — making their own music, performing and growing into themselves. The show was created by Outer Banks co-creator Jonas Pate and executive produced by all three of the hit Netflix show's co-creators.

Prime Video has not officially announced why the show was canceled, but Deadline reported that viewership for The Runarounds was low and received fewer than 2 million hours watched by the final few episodes.

Despite the show coming to an end, the real band (which Pate created in 2021), will remain together.

“Today, we found out as many of you did that The Runarounds TV show will not be coming back for a season 2,” the group wrote on Instagram at the time, per The Hollywood Reporter. “First and foremost we want you to know that while the TV series may have come to a close, as a band we're here to stay. This is merely the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one."

In May 2026, the band announced that Yun would be leaving the group to pursue "a career outside of music."

Gen V

The Boys spinoff, Gen V, was canceled after two seasons.

The superhero drama, which first came to the streamer in September 2023, was set in the same world as The Boys and followed a group of students from the "prestigious superhero-only college" Godolkin University, "where students train to be the next generation of heroes," per the show's synopsis.

"Beyond the typical college chaos of finding oneself and partying, these kids are facing explosive situations … literally," it continued. "As the students vie for popularity and good grades, it's clear that the stakes are much higher when super powers are involved. When the group of young supes discover that something bigger and sinister is going on at school, they're put to the test: Will they be the heroes or the villains of their stories?"

The series starred Jaz Sinclair, the late Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas and Marco Pigossi, among guest appearances from various The Boys characters.

A representative for Amazon MGM Studios confirmed the cancellation to PEOPLE in April 2026.

“While we wish we could keep the party going another season at Godolkin, we're committed to continuing the Gen V characters' stories in The Boys Season 5 and other VCU projects on the horizon. You'll see them again,” Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg, the executive producers on The Boys and its spinoffs, told PEOPLE in a statement.
