May 8, 2023

It’s Reaper Week!

In the next week (typically on Thursday-Saturday) we should know the fates of every current broadcast scripted show.

Bookmark this page. I will be updating the status of every show as soon as the news breaks during the week.

Let it begin!

Predictions/Status:

All predictions are for renewal for the 2023-24 broadcast season, or cancellation by the end of the 2022-23 broadcast season.

CW

🤷 What’s up with CW predictions?

Nexstar purchased 75% of the CW network in 2022. CBS & WB now own just 12.5% of the network each.

Nexstar has a deal obligating them to carry CBS & WB shows on the CW for the 2022-23 season. Nexstar can renew the deal at its option on an annual basis and carry CBS/WB shows longer, but what it will do is anyone’s guess.
