Some franchises start with a bang… and end in disaster. Others flop right out of the gate. Today, we’re diving into the biggest failed TV shows and movie franchises that had all the potential in the world—and still crashed and burned.

From Westworld, Prison Break, and True Detective—shows that began with huge buzz but lost audiences after Season 1—to major box office misfires like The Mummy (2017), Tomorrowland, and Conan the Barbarian, these projects were supposed to launch cinematic universes and long-running series. Instead? Cancellations, bad reviews, and millions lost.

So what went wrong? Poor writing? Studio interference? Audience fatigue? We break it all down.
