20+ Broadcast-TV Series Await Renewal Decisions — Vote for Your Must-Save Shows
More than 20 broadcast television series currently sit in renewal limbo as networks prepare to finalize their 2024-25 programming slates.
ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and The CW have yet to announce fate decisions for numerous scripted series — some facing cancellation after just one season, others awaiting word on potential multi-season renewals.
While some shows appear to be renewal locks based on ratings performance, others remain firmly on the bubble as executives weigh factors including production costs, streaming performance, and overall network strategy.
Among the high-profile series still pending renewal are The Rookie, Abbott Elementary, and Will Trent at ABC, though industry insiders expect positive announcements for these ratings performers in the coming weeks.
CBS has kept fans waiting on decisions for several procedurals, including So Help Me Todd and CSI: Vegas, while NBC viewers await news on the futures of Found and The Irrational.
Fox’s bubble shows include The Cleaning Lady and Alert: Missing Persons Unit, with the the network historically making renewal decisions closer to its upfront presentation.
The CW, under new ownership, has dramatically reduced its original programming slate but still has several series awaiting renewal confirmation.
Networks typically announce the majority of their renewal and cancellation decisions ahead of the May upfront presentations to advertisers, though some decisions may extend into summer.
