Scroll down for a complete rundown of the series hovering between life and death at ABC, Fox and The CW, including how they are literally rating heading into the home stretch. (Both CBS and NBC have already made all of their tough calls.) Which program are you pulling for the most (and least)?
Fox (on May 13), ABC (on May 14) and The CW (on May 16) should make more decisions as they announce their 2024-25 schedules during Upfronts Week.
Note: This list focuses solely on scripted, original programming at the broadcast networks. No game shows, reality shows or acquired whatnot from Canada or other regions of our big blue marble. Also, series such as The CW’s All American: Homecoming and Fox’s Accused, that have new seasons yet to premiere or in production, are not included either.
Review our complete Broadcast Renewal/Cancellation Scorecard, and get season/series finale dates.
