How We Roll is likely to be canceled. Its premiere ratings were in the not likely to be renewed range. Also, shows with late premiere dates face an uphill climb to renewal.
In last week’s news, The Good Doctor, The Rookie, NCIS, NCIS:LA, and NCIS:Hawaii were all renewed.
Updated 4/7 with The Cleaning Lady renewal. Updated 4/8 with SWAT renewal.
TV Grim Reaper’s predictions are for scripted broadcast primetime show renewals for the 2022-23 season or cancellations by the end of the 2021-22 season.

ABC shows predicted to be canceled
Queens – terrible ratings, rookie show
A Million Little Things – terrible ratings, but wouldn’t be shocked if syndication economics kept it alive for another season
ABC shows predicted to be renewed
Big Sky – borderline ratings even for a 10pm show, barely leaning renewal
Home Economics, The Wonder Years – borderline ratings, barely leaning renewal for both
The Goldbergs – highly rated, but old and expensive, cancellation would not be a shock.
The Conners – would be surprised by cancellation
CBS shows predicted to be canceled
Good Sam – terrible ratings, rookie show
How We Roll – low premiere ratings + late premiere date
CBS shows predicted to be renewed
Blue Bloods – ratings aren’t a problem, but there is always cancellation danger for very old, expensive CBS dramas, since their (non-public) syndication deals determine their longevity.
B Positive, United States of Al – One WB Lorre sitcom was renewed (Bob Hearts Abishola), these two were not. Would not be surprised if one of these were canceled.
FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, FBI: International, Magnum, PI, SWAT (renewed 4/8), Equalizer – would be surprised by cancellation
CW shows predicted to be canceled
I won’t be surprised to see several cancellations, but it’s impossible for me to predict which shows.
CW shows predicted to be renewed
Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, Dynasty, In the Dark, Legacies, Roswell, NM, 4400, Naomi, All American: Homecoming, Charmed – The CW is for sale! I’ve got no idea how that might effect the decisions that CBS & WB Studios make on their shows, but I’ll predict they renew them all, and take a few L’s on the shows they’ll inevitably cancel.
Fox shows predicted to be canceled
Welcome To Flatch – terrible ratings.
Pivoting – terrible ratings.
Fox shows predicted to be renewed
Call Me Kat – terrible ratings. Predicting renewal only on the guess that Fox won’t completely start from scratch next season with live action sitcoms.
The Resident, 9-1-1, 9-1-1:Lonestar, The Cleaning Lady (renewed 4/7) – would be surprised by cancellation
NBC shows predicted to be canceled
Grand Crew– terrible ratings, rookie show
The Endgame – terrible ratings, rookie show
Kenan– ratings too low for a sophomore show renewal
NBC shows predicted to be renewed
American Auto, Mr. Mayor – I’d expect NBC to renew at least one of them.
Law & Order: OC, Law & Order, Young Rock – would be surprised by cancellation
