Final Renewal / Cancellation Predictions & Status For Every 2019-20 Broadcast Scripted TV Show

Here are the reaper’s final TV show renewal and cancellation predictions for the 2019-20 season.

I’ll be updating this post as news arrives. Edits to the post after May 4, 2020 will be in ALL CAPS to distinguish them from the original post.

(sort the table by clicking on the column heading)

ABC shows predicted to be canceled

Stumptown (RENEWED)  – lowest rated ABC show not already canceled, in a normal year it’s doomed, but with the disrupted pilot season anything can happen.

ABC shows predicted to be renewed

For Life  – the disrupted pilot season makes its renewal more likely, but in a normal year it’s probably dead.
Mixed-ish (RENEWED), Black-ish (RENEWED), Bless This Mess (CANCELED), Schooled (CANCELED), Single Parents (CANCELED) – all borderline ratings, 1-2 of these would likely be canceled in a normal year, but with the disrupted pilot season predicting renewal for all.
The Conners, The Goldbergs, A Million Little Things, American Housewife,  The Rookie (ALL RENEWED)  – ratings in the renewal range.

CBS shows predicted to be canceled

CBS shows predicted to be renewed

Broke (CANCELED), The Unicorn (RENEWED), Carol’s Second Act  (CANCELED) – In a normal year, CBS wouldn’t renew all their rookie sitcoms, but with COVID-19 disrupting pilot production, I’m guessing existing show renewals will happen over pilot pickups. Won’t try to spearfish which of these three get canceled. Instead, will predict all three get renewed, but won’t be surprised if one isn’t.
Man With A Plan (CANCELED) – it’s the longest running CBS produced sitcom in over a decade, would be surprised if it ended this season.
Tommy (CANCELED) – lowest rated CBS show, in a normal season this show would be 100% dead, but with the pilot season disrupted, am holding the prediction at marginal renewal.
All Rise (RENEWED),– in a normal year, it would be in some danger, but with the disrupted pilot season the risk for it is now likely low. (but not low enough for now cancelled God Friended Me!)
Bull – CBS 4th season drama cancellations are rare.
NCIS: New Orleans, NCIS: LA, Blue Bloods, NCIS  (ALL RENEWED),– with three veteran dramas already ending this season, and the disrupted pilot season, there is now little risk to these shows.
SEAL Team, SWAT (BOTH RENEWED),– 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.
The Neighborhood, FBI,  Magnum P.I., MacGyver, FBI: Most Wanted, Bob Hearts Abishola  (ALL RENEWED),– ratings in the renewal range.

CW shows predicted to be canceled

CW shows predicted to be renewed

Katy Keene – default prediction for any CW show, and with the disrupted pilot season will stick with it.

Fox shows predicted to be canceled

Outmatched (CANCELED)– ratings borderline, and Fox has very limited slots for live action sitcoms.

Fox shows predicted to be renewed

The Resident (RENEWED) – third season shows are rarely canceled, no matter the ratings.
Family Guy (RENEWED), Bob’s Burgers (RENEWED), Last Man Standing (RENEWED), Prodigal Son (RENEWED) – ratings in the renewal range, no negative issues.

NBC shows predicted to be canceled

Indebted – low ratings
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (RENEWED) – like Kim Jong Un, Zoey’s is either dead, brain dead or just fine. I’m sticking with dead.

NBC shows predicted to be renewed

Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector (CANCELED) – final 3 episode ratings were decent for a Friday show. Given the disruption in in the pilot process for next season, marginal shows like Lincoln may be renewed instead of pilots that were unable to finish the process.
Manifest – good enough ratings, particularly this year.
Good Girls (RENEWED) – low ratings, but third season shows are rarely canceled, no matter the ratings. Netflix co-production, and history of receiving CA state tax credits are also positives.

Summer shows

The reaper doesn’t make predictions for shows like Council of Dads and The Baker and The Beauty that air more than half their episodes in broadcast summer (May 21-) because he’d be no better at it than a coin flip!
