Week 18: The Rookie: Feds Is Likely To Be Renewed
The Rookie: Feds is likely to be renewed. It’s ABC’s top rated rookie show (out of only 3 so far!), and that’s likely to get it a season 2.
In news since last week, to no one’s surprise, ABC renewed Abbott Elementary, and CBS renewed Ghosts. And since I had, and still have, no idea what would happen to the WB & CBS shows on the CW, the renewal of All American was somewhat surprising, as will all future CW renewals this season.
Shows at some risk, but still predicting renewal
Ancient dramas: Grey’s Anatomy, Blue Bloods, NCIS:LA, NCIS. All these shows ratings are fine, but their futures depend on their non-public syndication deals. Don’t be shocked if any of them are canceled.
Sixth season shows: The Good Doctor, Station 19, The Resident. Again, ratings are fine for renewal. Shows typically renegotiate salaries after season 6. That often becomes a catalyst for cancellation.
Predictions/Status:
All predictions are for renewal for the 2023-24 broadcast season, or cancellation by the end of the 2022-23 broadcast season.

🤷 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.
