Are Your Favorite Shows Coming Back Next Season?
Every spring, as we gear up for the season finales that usually occur during May Sweeps, we also begin wondering which shows won’t get the chance to resolve whatever cliffhanger they come up with.
Several network prime time shows have already been renewed for next season. Certain others are almost certain to be renewed.
TVLine.com compiles an annual list of shows classified by their status: there’s the “sure thing,” the “safe bet” and the “could go either way” classifications, as well as the “officially canceled” and “officially renewed.”
CBS, the number one network that’s likely to have the fewest new shows next season, renewed 18 shows so far, jumping the gun on its competition. Neither ABC, the CW nor NBC have announced renewals. Fox has already announced a few.
So here’s an updated list of just the shows that are either the “sure things” or “already reneweds.”
