Week 25: The Resident Is Likely To Be Canceled

The Resident is likely to be canceled. Its 2023 ratings were 110% of the Fox scripted average (++), but it received only a short 13 episode order (-). It’s in season 6 after which costs typically rise in a salary renegotiation (-), and it’s owned by Disney, so more episodes produced wouldn’t benefit Fox in the secondary market (-).

Now, the sets have been sold!

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.
