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).
Despite better-than-ever reviews (and even some comparisons to The Wire) for its third season, John Ridley's anthology series is currently the lowest-rated show on ABC, with ratings down by over 50% compared to its already low season 2 numbers. The network has already kept Crime around longer than expected (likely for the prestige of having a critically acclaimed series), but prestige only goes so far with ratings so dismal.
