This year has been devastating for fans of sapphic TV shows, as many of our favorite series featuring queer women characters were canceled too soon. Fortunately, the recent renewals of many of our favorite shows give us hope they will continue to thrive in the audiovisual landscape for years to come.
Here is the list of cancellations and renewals for the 2022-2023 season, so you can know which series will be featured this year and which ones will return next year.
[This list is not complete yet and will be constantly updated throughout the year. If you don’t see your favorite sapphic show, let me know in the comments below and I’d be happy to add it. Thank you for your input!]

What Are Series We Haven’t Heard Anything About?
For some series, we don’t have any news yet simply because they were just released, so we need to wait longer. Unfortunately, for other series, we have had no update in nearly a year and some clues suggest these series won’t be continued.
We Look Forward To New Shows Being Released In 2023-2024
This year, there have been plenty of disappointments, especially for “Gentleman Jack,” which deserves another season.
A question also remains: Why is there no official announcement about “High School” season 2? It’s easy to feel hopeless when this question appears endless, and the more time passes, the less hope there is.
Nevertheless, we have enjoyed some very entertaining brand-new shows such as “Prisma,” “Willow,” “Heartstopper,” “The Last of Us,” and “Gap, The Series,” to name a few.
Now, all that remains is to see what the 2023-2024 season has in store for us! And get ready, because four brand new lesbian Thai series will be released this year once “Gap, The Series” season 1 ends! So stay tuned!
Just wondering what series you would like to see renewed, or canceled, in 2023?
