May TV Finales Begin This Week: Here’s Every Show Concluding
May is a busy month for television finales, and this week delivers a packed lineup. From Marvel’s ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ to Hallmark’s ‘Hope Valley: 1847’, viewers have plenty of must-watch series saying goodbye—at least for now. Mid-season network hits like ABC’s ‘The Rookie’, ‘9-1-1’, and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ will also wrap up their seasons, along with a strong slate of reality programming on A&E.
Below is your complete guide to every TV show airing its season finale this week.
Monday, May 4
Monday’s lineup features three major finales, spanning animated series, baking competitions, and procedural dramas.
- ‘Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord’ (Disney+, 3 a.m. ET) – The animated series concludes its first season.
- ‘The Ultimate Baking Championship’ (Food Network, 9 p.m. ET) – The season finale of the popular baking competition.
- ‘The Rookie’ Season 7 (ABC, 10 p.m. ET) – Nathan Fillion’s hit procedural wraps up its seventh season.
Nathan Fillion’s departure from ‘The Rookie’ doesn’t mean he’s leaving TV for long. He’ll return as DCU character Guy Gardner in Damon Lindelof’s ‘Lanterns’ this August. ‘Star Wars’ fans won’t have to wait as long for the next installment, either—‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ hits theaters later this month. Meanwhile, ‘Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord’ has already been renewed for a second season, as announced in April.
