ABC shows predicted to be canceled
Call Your Mother – ratings have fallen to a level where renewal is unlikely.
For Life – currently ABC’s lowest rated scripted show
ABC shows predicted to be renewed
Mixed-ish – ratings have fallen to borderline renewal levels. Stay tuned.
The Conners, The Rookie, A Million Little Things – third season shows are rarely canceled, no matter the ratings.
Black-ish, The Goldbergs, Grey’s Anatomy, American Housewife, Big Sky, The Good Doctor – ratings in the renewal range.
CBS shows predicted to be canceled
CBS shows predicted to be renewed
Clarice – last episode’s ratings were the lowest for a new scripted episode on CBS in 2021. Stay tuned.
The Unicorn – ratings have recovered to the point where renewal is borderline likely.
SWAT – ratings are near CBS’s lowest, but CBS 4th season drama cancellations are rare. However, it did happen to Scorpion. It will be determined by SWAT’s (non-public) syndication deal.
NCIS: LA, Blue Bloods, NCIS – there WAS is some danger for these very old CBS dramas, since their (non-public) syndication deals determine their longevity, but now that NCIS: New Orleans was canceled, I’d be shocked if any of the others were canceled this season.
FBI, Magnum, PI – third season shows that will have completed 66 episodes are guaranteed renewal.
SEAL Team, Young Sheldon, FBI: Most Wanted, B Positive, All Rise – ratings in the renewal range.
CW shows predicted to be canceled
CW shows predicted to be renewed
Fox shows predicted to be canceled
Prodigal Son – low ratings
Fox shows predicted to be renewed
Call Me Kat – ratings still OK, stay tuned.
Bless The Harts – lowest ratings of Fox’s animated shows, stay tuned.
The Resident – ratings in the renewal range.
NBC shows predicted to be canceled
Debris – second episode ratings crash.
NBC shows predicted to be renewed
Good Girls – as usual ratings among NBC’s lowest, but subsidy from CA taxpayers means renewal may happen again.
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist – borderline ratings again, stay tuned.
Manifest – third season shows are rarely canceled, no matter the ratings.
Mr. Mayor, Young Rock, Kenan – ratings in the renewal range.

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.
