March 2026 has been a rollercoaster for TV fans, and not all shows are making it out alive. While some series are gearing up for fresh seasons, others are facing the ax—leaving viewers divided and debating. But here’s where it gets controversial: Palm Royale, Apple TV’s Emmy-nominated comedy starring Kristen Wiig and Laura Dern, has been canceled after just two seasons. Was it a creative misstep, or did it simply fall victim to the ruthless streaming wars? And this is the part most people miss: Best Medicine, Fox’s adaptation of the British hit Doc Martin, has been renewed for Season 2, proving that sometimes a change of scenery (and a brilliant surgeon like Josh Charles’ Dr. Best) is all it takes to win over audiences. Should Palm Royale have gotten another chance, or was its cancellation justified?
Spring is traditionally a season of renewal—both in nature and on our screens. (Yes, TV networks are just as eager to refresh their lineups as you are to refresh your wardrobe!) March kicked off with Fox announcing the return of Best Medicine for Season 2. The show, which follows Dr. Martin Best as he swaps Boston’s hustle for a serene Maine fishing village, has clearly struck a chord with viewers. Fun fact: If there were an award for the first renewal of the month, Dr. Best would be a shoo-in—let’s call him Dr. First!
But not all shows were as fortunate. Palm Royale, despite its star-studded cast and critical acclaim, won’t be returning for a third season. The news, broken by The Hollywood Reporter on March 2, left fans reeling. Was it a case of too much competition, or did the show fail to resonate beyond its niche audience? Is streaming killing mid-tier shows like Palm Royale, or is it simply a matter of survival of the fittest?
Whether you’re celebrating renewals or mourning cancellations, we’ve got you covered. Below is the full list of March’s TV show updates, complete with links for the curious.
