On the Cancellation Bubble
These shows are all in limbo as networks work on their slate of new shows for next season. Will they escape the cancellation bubble? Only time will tell.
American Crime (ABC): Renewed
Critically acclaimed, yet not a big audience deliverer. Creator John Ridley is working on other projects for the network, including a secret Marvel series and Presence. The anthology format makes it easy for the show to get new stars.
Chances it'll come back: It's back!
Agent Carter (ABC): Canceled
Beloved by fans and critics alike, the Hayley Atwell series failed to bring back an audience for season two. Atwell has a new legal drama pilot in the works at ABC, but has said she could continue with the Marvel series. Chad Michael Murray just booked a new CMT series, but we all saw that season two finale…
Chances it'll come back: It's not good news for Peggy Carter now that ABC has officially canceled it, but damn it, she knows her worth!
Castle: Canceled
Stars Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic don't have contracts for season nine, but that doesn't mean Castle can't continue. Would you want it to continue though?
Chance it'll come back: Despite all the contract drama, it's not back.
Galavant (ABC): Canceled
Another fan-favorite with a small amount of viewers, the quirky Galavant could go either way. Doesn't bode well that ABC burned the episodes off with back-to-back airings this January and star Joshua Sasse has booked a CW pilot.
Chances it'll come back: With Sasse's CW series a go, the song has come to an end for our favorite medieval musical.
Nashville (ABC): Canceled
Can you remember a time Nashville was never not on the bubble? With table, yet small viewership, Nashville's renewal chances rely on what kind of deal ABC can make with producers and how strong they feel about their pilots.
Chances it'll come back: This is Nashville's swan song, sorry.
Dr. Ken and Last Man Standing: Renewed
Despite what critics think, these shows are still on the air. Last Man Standing's ratings have dipped since it's debut, but they've been stable-ish for the last three years. Dr. Ken's ratings are smaller, but pretty consistent throughout it's run.
Chances they'll come back: They'll both be back for more.
The Muppets (ABC): Canceled
After such a high-profile launch and subsequent fizzle, ABC really wants The Muppets to work. A midseason creative retool didn't bring back the viewers, but the characters are quite beloved.
Chances it'll come back: It's not easy being green. Kermit and Company won't return for season two.
CSI: Cyber (CBS): Canceled
The last CSI standing, not even Patricia Arquette's Oscar win could bring viewers to the procedural.
Chances it'll come back: Goodbye, CSI, it's officially canceled.
Elementary (CBS): Renewed
Maybe CBS will need to hire Sherlock Holmes to find out where the viewers are in the coveted 18-49 demographic? A recent episode had 1.0 rating (not including DVR playback).
Chances it'll come back: It's coming back! CBS made it official.
Person of Interest (CBS): Canceled
Season five of the action-drama series didn't even have a premiere date. Season six is not looking good. Plus, star Sarah Shahi recently joined CBS's Drew pilot in the lead role of Nancy Drew.
Chances it'll come back: It's officially done.
Bordertown (Fox): Canceled
Just because Seth MacFarlane is executive producing a show doesn't mean it'll be a hit. Ratings are not looking good here.
Chances it'll return: Hey, it takes time to find an audience, and this one didn't.
Grandfathered (Fox): Canceled
John Stamos is having quite the year between this Fox show and Fuller House. Viewers have dipped out of the series, but that's a problem for Fox as a whole.
Chances it'll return: Sadly, none.
The Grinder (Fox): Canceled
Rob Lowe and Fred Savage have great chemistry, but they're not exactly bringing in the viewers. As noted, that's a problem as a whole for Fox.
Chances it'll return: Sorry. But come on, Rob Lowe and his dimples won't be gone from your TV for too long.
Sleepy Hollow (Fox): Renewed
With a new showrunner on board, season three ratings have been stable, but not great.
Chances it'll return: Abbie Mills may no longer be by his side, but Ichabod Crane will live to solve a fourth season's worth of mysteries.
The Mysteries of Laura (NBC)
Debra Messing is very loved by fans at the network and at home on their couch, but the show shed some viewers in the coveted 18-49 demographic in its second season.
Chances it'll return: NBC may keep its WCW line-up in tact if nothing pops in development.
Telenovela (NBC): Canceled
Eva Longoria's soap send up failed to capture viewers like fellow new comedy Superstore. But she's an asset to the network.
Chances it'll return: The laughs have stopped for the Telenovela crew.
