TBS has pulled the plug on its Wipeout revival, co-hosted by John Cena, as part of a broader programming shift, according to Deadline. The announcement came from TNT & TBS president Jason Sarlanis during a keynote presentation at the Realscreen Summit in Miami, Florida While Sarlanis confirmed that “a few more episodes” will still air, the show will not return for another season.

High Costs and Programming Changes Led to Cancellation

During his remarks, Sarlanis acknowledged that shows like Wipeout and The Cube—another recently canceled TBS game show—are costly to produce. Instead, the network is focusing on sports-adjacent programming and potential spinoffs of Impractical Jokers, which has been a staple for TBS.

“These shows are expensive,” Sarlanis admitted. “Wipeout is inherently comedic and a joy to watch. But we have to be realistic in terms of the entire environment. We have to recalibrate.”

The End of a Short-Lived Revival

The Wipeout reboot, based on the original ABC series, premiered on TBS in 2021 and ran for two seasons. The show will conclude with more than 30 episodes, though it’s unclear how long it will remain available for streaming on Max.

Despite the cancellation, Cena remains active within the Warner Bros. Discovery family. His hit DC series Peacemaker is set to return for its second season on Max in August 2025.

TBS has not announced a specific date for the final Wipeout episodes, and Cena has yet to publicly comment on the show’s cancellation.
