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).
The good news for fans of this prequel to the movie series: Taken has performed better in the post-Voice Monday slot than its fall predecessor, Timeless. Does that mean it has performed well enough to secure a second season? Not necessarily, as Timeless started off even better than where Taken is now, only to drop over the course of the season. A similar drop for Taken (which seems possible, based on recent showings) could mean trouble.
