Week 32: Animal Control Is Likely To Be Renewed
Animal Control is likely to be renewed. While the idea that it would be “the comedy that propels Fox back to the forefront of this comedy renaissance” is laughable in retrospect, its low ratings still top Fox live action sitcoms.
Reaper Week is in just two weeks!
In last week’s news: ABC renewed Will Trent, Station 19, The Good Doctor and The Rookie.
Predictions/Status:
All predictions are for renewal for the 2023-24 broadcast season, or cancellation by the end of the 2022-23 broadcast season.

East New York, ratings are fine, could WB ownership doom it? 🤷
SWAT, SWAT is in the "if you can make it cheap enough, we'll renew it" negotiation dance with CBS. I have no way to predict the outcome accurately, so I default to likely renewal.

🤷 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.
