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).
Can Fox's 24 reboot live to see another day? In the show's favor: only Empire and The Simpsons have better 18-49 ratings among Fox programs. But that might not be enough given that network execs admit to mixed feelings after originally having "really high hopes" for the show, which is falling short of the numbers put up by the original series. It sounds like the show's future depends on the strength (or in this case, weakness) of Fox's upcoming development slate. Fox does produce the show in house, which could be a deciding factor when a show is on the bubble.
