I’ve updated my wild predictions on all of the networks’ shows chances of survival. Ignore the headline – it’s about more than just Doubt, check out the gallery.
Speaking of: there appears to be a showdown over Modern Family‘s renewal. The 8th season of ABC’s highest rated series just wrapped filming without the cast signing new contracts. DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNN!
Speaking of ratings
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not doing well for ABC, but considering Disney’s relationship with Marvel it probably won’t be cancelled. Probably.
- Hawaii Five-0, which was looking like it was going to be cancelled a year ago, is now a “sure bet” for renewal according to the Cancel Bear.
- Things are still looking pretty good for The 100 and Riverdale.
- Does a renewal for Lucifer mean that 24: Legacy is safe? Maybe!
- The Blacklist: Redemption does not look particularly redemptive.
