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).
In its third season, the CW's campy period drama has collected its lowest viewership numbers to date, sinking to the bottom of the network's ratings (along with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). But while the numbers suggest cancellation, some experts feel that the network will opt for one more season to increase the episode count for potential syndication. If the show does move on, it will likely do so without Torrance Coombs, who has been cast in a new Shonda Rhimes pilot.
