June 11, 2019
It’s that time of year. The networks have revealed which shows have been renewed and which have been cancelled. While we’ll talk more about what’s premiering and returning in a few months, take a look at this list. Are any of your favorites on the chopping block?
ABC
If there’s one thing to be said about ABC’s lineup, it’s that they know how to keep shows running! It’s incredible that The Bachelor has been going for 24 seasons and that they’ve managed to make the reboot of American Idol (originally on FOX) work!

It’s interesting that the heavyweights on ABC are mostly reality series or sitcoms, while their attempts at more dramatic shows have been less successful. Are you surprised about any of the departures?
NBC
The return of Will & Grace has been triumphant, so far, but unlike ABC, dramas take center stage on NBC. Yes, they’ve got a few reality competition programs in the lineup, but what would this network be without This is Us right now?

Awaiting Decision:
- The InBetween
We’ve got to say that it’s also very impressive that Law & Order: SVU continues to captivate audiences after 21 seasons! Considering the heavy nature of the content, NBC clearly knows how to create compelling storylines that connect with viewers.
CBS
If you love shows about law enforcement, government agencies and solving crimes, there really is no better network than CBS. With three different NCIS series and shoes like FBI and Criminal Minds (entering its final season!), your detective skills will be put to the test!
Renewed:
- 48 Hours – Season 32

- Awaiting Decision:
- The Amazing Race – Season 30
- Celebrity Big Brother
- The Code
- Instinct – Season 2 (Premieres June 30)
- The Red Line
Of course, fans of The Big Bang Theory will be sad to see the long-running show end after 12 seasons. Hopefully, they will find a way to deliver a satisfying final episode that provides closure for viewers!
The CW
Can we talk about the fact that Supernatural is still going strong after 15 seasons?! It has been renewed for yet another year, but they have announced that it will be their last. The demon-hunting brothers are finally retiring after all this time.
Renewed:
- The 100 – Season 7
- All American – Season 2
- Arrow – Season 8 (Final season)
- Black Lightning- Season 3
- Burden of Truth – through Season 3

Canceled:
- None
Awaiting Decision:
- None
When the network announced that Charmed would be returning, people were definitely skeptical, but it looks like enough viewers are turning in to renew the reboot for another season!
FOX
If the longevity of Supernatural is impressive, we’ve got to be downright blown away by the fact that The Simpsons has been renewed for a 32nd season. Wow! It’s not the only show with staying power on the network, however—Family Guy is coming back for an 18th season while Bob’s Burgers will enter its 10th. Pretty remarkable when you consider that these are all animated series!
Renewed:
- 9-1-1 – Season 3
- Bob’s Burgers – Season 10
- Empire – Season 6 (Final season)
- Family Guy – Season 18
- Last Man Standing – Season 8 (Second season on Fox)
- The Masked Singer – through Season 3
- The Orville – Season 3

Final Season:
- Gotham – Season 5
Canceled:
- The Cool Kids
- The Gifted
- Lethal Weapon
- The Passage
- Proven Innocent
- Rel
- Star
Awaiting Decision:
- None
It’s not surprising to see that Empire only has one season left and that Lethal Weapon has been cancelled. The casts of both shows faced a considerable amount of drama off-camera.
What are you looking forward to this fall? Are you sad to see something go?
