To help you keep track, we have a simple list of shows. This list shows what’s safe, what’s on the edge, and what might be cancelled.

Check back often. We will update this list with the latest news.

Here are the status levels:

  • Renewed
  • Sure thing
  • Safe bet
  • Could go either way
  • Long-shot
  • Cancelled
  • Officially cancelled
  • Too soon to tell

Right now, many shows are still “Too soon to tell.” We want to keep you informed as the season starts!
