B Positive is likely to be renewed. It’s the second time in the headline, but at this early point in the season with so few new shows, I’ve got nothing else!
In last week’s news, Superstore was canceled after its season had begun. Too late for it to be called a renanceling, and the first prediction miss of the season! After season 6 is often when contracts are renegotiated (upward) so is often a tipping point for shows. As for the prediction miss, cancellations at this time of year for non-rookie shows are *freakishly* rare, so I default to “likely renewal” for every non-rookie show until April.
Why no predictions for Fox’s LA’s Finest, Filthy Rich, & NEXT; CBS’s Star Trek Discovery, Manhunt:Deadly Games, & One Day At A Time; CW’s Pandora, The Outpost, Devils, Coroner, & Swamp Thing; and NBC’s Transplant?
All of those shows were either no hope “mid-season” shows from the 2019-20 season delayed into Fall 2020, or shows that had aired “elsewhere” (outside the US, on cable, or on SVOD) and were bought/corporate transferred for Fall 2020 fill in purposes only. None of them have any in-season futures on US broadcast networks, so predictions for them are moot.
