The news, which was confirmed by TVLine, may not come as a surprise to fans of the series, as the third season of the series ended in February 2022 and there have been no updates on the series since then. The series originally started as short content in 2017 on the go90 app before being adapted for CW Seed in 2018, where its popularity led to the series coming to the CW main network in 2019.
Two Sentence Horror Series was described as a collection of contemporary horror and ghost stories for "the diverse and digital age". “Inspired by the viral admirers of two-sentence horror stories, the anthology series taps into universal primal fear, filtered through the anxieties of the most connected and racially diverse generation. Despite the staggering advances in technology, inequality, social advancement and environmental degradation. ..the things that haunt us are still the same."
Two Sentence Horror Stories is just the latest series canceled by The CW. Last month, the network canceled several series. Walker Independence and The Winchesters were both canceled by the network after just one season, while Kung Fu (2021) was also canceled after three seasons. The network had previously announced that several other series - The Flash (2014), Riverdale, and Nancy Drew (2019) - were ending after their current seasons. Right now, there are three fan-favorite series waiting for renewal news: Superman & Lois, Gotham Knights, and All American: Homecoming.
"We're still looking at analyzing these series... and looking at our budgets in 2024," Schwartz said last month. "We love all those series and they all do very well for us in different ways. We will probably make decisions about that sooner or later."
He particularly expressed frustration with the lack of streaming control associated with Superman & Lois, which he called one of the network's "strongest" series. If the series is renewed, it will air mid-season or summer 2024. Rumor has it that Warner Bros. Discover's Max streaming platform could at least save Superman & Lois if The CW refuses to renew.
There are several changes to The CW's programming following its acquisition by media giant Nexstar last year. The network last month released its fall 2023-2024 schedule, which includes several acquired series — including Son of a Critch, Run The Burbs, Children Ruin Everything, and Sullivan's Crossing — and the debut of 61st Street, a series previously canceled by AMC. In addition, it has been announced that The CW has filmed the first three seasons of The Chosen, a series about the life of Jesus. The series will premiere on Sunday, July 16 and will air until Christmas Eve.
"Based on the greatest IP of all time, The Chosen is truly a one-of-a-kind series that tells this historically significant story in a compelling, dramatic, and first-class manner," said Brad Schwartz, The CW's President of Entertainment, in a statement. "This series already has a deep connection with viewers around the world, and The CW will expand its audience even further."
