Renew/Cancel Odds for TV Shows Still on the Bubble
At this time last year, there were fewer than 40 broadcast shows still on the bubble. This year? Nearly 70. While The CW has given early pickups to nearly every one of its shows, the other four networks have renewed only a select few, leaving the fates of many series up in the air with less than two months to go before the networks make their 2017-18 schedule announcements.
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 over 60 scripted shows still on the bubble (listed in alphabetical order).
CBS hasn't yet announced early renewals for most of its current shows, so you'll see a lot of the network's programs on here even though they are relatively safe. Sixth-year sitcom 2 Broke Girls probably falls in that "safe" category despite a ratings drop of 16% compared to a year ago, as its numbers are still roughly comparable to the rest of CBS's Monday comedy lineup.
