Renew/Cancel Odds for TV Shows Still on the Bubble
We are now two months away from TV's upfronts, when the broadcast networks announce their schedules for next season—and, with them, the final fates of all of their current programs. At this point, ABC is alone among the major networks in announcing renewals for the bulk of its current slate, while NBC has renewed a handful of programs. Many shows on the other networks (and even a few on ABC and NBC) remain on the bubble.
To determine which of those shows look safe, and which are in danger of cancellation, we have surveyed a variety of experts. Below, browse the resulting renew/cancel odds for 40 scripted shows still on the bubble (listed in alphabetical order).
Critics didn't care much for it, but this first-year comic book series has been an extremely solid performer since its January debut, making it the network's highest-rated newcomer this season. Ratings have dropped since Lucifer lost The X-Files (whose short season ended last month) as its lead-in, but probably not enough to harm its renewal chances.
| Renewal Odds Rated from 5 (likely renewal) to 1 (likely cancellation) |
