The fashion scene is abuzz with anticipation as networks start giving renewals for their top series for the upcoming season. However, for a few shows, their fate hangs in the balance, waiting to see if they will be picked up or canceled. The final decisions from ABC, FOX, and NBC will be revealed during the upfront presentations in May, while CBS will unveil its schedule on Wednesday, April 15.
Let’s take a closer look at the broadcast shows that are still waiting for a green light for the 2026-2027 season.
ABC has already renewed several series, such as “9-1-1,” “Abbott Elementary,” and “High Potential.” “Grey’s Anatomy” is a sure bet for another season, as is “The Rookie.” For shows like “RJ Decker” and “Scrubs,” it’s too early to make a prediction. “Will Trent” and “Shifting Gears” are also likely to get the green light.
Over at CBS, most series have been renewed, leaving only “CIA,” “DMV,” and “Watson” without a pickup. The outlook for “CIA” is positive due to its association with Dick Wolf, while “Watson” may not see another season as it is the lowest-rated show on the network.
FOX has renewed the majority of its shows for the upcoming season, with only “Going Dutch,” “Grimsburg,” “Memory of a Killer,” and “Murder in a Small Town” in limbo. “Going Dutch” may not make the cut due to its low ratings, while the chances for “Memory of a Killer” look good.
NBC has been slow in announcing pickups for the new season, with only “Happy’s Place” and “St. Denis Medical” renewed so far. Shows like “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago Med,” and “Chicago PD” are guaranteed another season. However, “The Hunting Party” may be at risk due to the network’s lineup changes and new developments in drama series.
As the television landscape shifts and decisions are made, fans eagerly await to see which shows will continue to grace their screens in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on your favorite series as the networks reveal their plans for the future.
