Week 24: Fantasy Island Is Likely To Be Renewed

tvgrimreaper.substack.com

Fantasy Island is likely to be renewed. When its ratings began terribly, I started my prediction as likely canceled, but ratings have recovered to the point where its ratings average is now 73% of Fox’s 2023 scripted average. I think that’s likely enough for a cheap former summer show to get another season.

In news from the past 2 weeks: CBS renewed NCIS, NCIS:Hawaii and CSI:Vegas. ABC canceled The Goldbergs.

3/2 Edit: The Resident sets have been sold! It’s not coming back.

Predictions/Status:

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

ABC

  • Alaska Daily, lowest rated of ABC’s scripted shows

Likely Renewed for ’23-‘24

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.
