Week 27: Grand Crew Is Likely To Be Canceled

Mar 20, 2023
Share

Grand Crew is likely to be canceled. It’s NBC’s lowest rated show, and it was among NBC’s lowest rated shows last season. It was a mystery why it was renewed last season. A Twitter reply sparked a working theory that NBC is now giving its typically low rated sitcoms two seasons before canceling them. That’s worth tracking.

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

  • The Company You Keep, only Alaska Daily & Big Sky are lower rated among ABC scripted shows

Likely Renewed for ’23-‘24

  • Big Sky, season 3 shows likely renewed even with low ratings

  • Grey’s Anatomy, ancient dramas always at risk, depends on the syndication deal renewed 3/24

  • Home Economics, season 3 shows likely renewed even with low ratings

  • Not Dead Yet, borderline ratings for a rookie, stay tuned

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.
