ABC shows predicted to be canceled
ABC shows predicted to be renewed
Stumptown, The Rookie – borderline ratings, stay tuned
Station 19, The Good Doctor – third season shows are rarely canceled, no matter the ratings.
The Conners, Black-ish, Bless This Mess,The Goldbergs, Schooled, Grey’s Anatomy, A Million Little Things, American Housewife, Single Parents, Mixed-ish – ratings in the renewal range.
CBS shows predicted to be canceled
CBS shows predicted to be renewed
FBI: Most Wanted – good premier ratings, stay tuned.
The Unicorn, Carol’s Second Act – each received only 5 additional episodes ordered, which is a negative indicator for renewal, but their ratings are still in the range for renewal, stay tuned.
Bob Hearts Abishola, All Rise – both received orders of 9 additional episodes each which is a positive indicator for renewal
Bull – CBS 4th season drama cancellations are rare.
NCIS: New Orleans, NCIS: LA, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, NCIS – there is some danger for these very old CBS dramas, since their (non-public) syndication deals determine their longevity, although a renewal for a final season is a more likely end than cancellation this season.
SEAL Team, SWAT – shows like these two that are produced by the corporate studio and end season 3 with 66 or more episodes have not been canceled in 12 years.
