Cancelled Or Renewed: Here Is Your Guide To Television Entertainment In 2020

We are here to give you the lowdown on the TV shows that you loved from the previous season. Read on to see the fate of your beloved series from 2019. Some of them got renewed; some of them got canceled. That’s the way the cookie crumbles, folks. You should keep reading to see if your favorite one survived!

The Conners

We are pleased to let you know that the Conners made the cut. It did so with flying colors and got the top spot in terms of TV rankings from 2018 to 2020. The average viewership was 9.5 million, after all.

Lethal Weapon

It is not a surprise to hear that a lot of projects are unable to survive after the lead actors left. This was the fate of this show. After Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford left, the crime show was dropped.

The Big Bang Theory

The cast of this sitcom had been around for 12 seasons. Sadly, we have no choice but to bid them all adieu. The final season was aired in May 2019. Did you think the show ended on a good note?

Supernatural

Considering just how big this TV show is, we can see why so many people got worried about its renewal. In the end, we found out that the 15th season is the last one. Yes, we were also heartbroken to hear this.

Empire

Fortunately, the show did not suffer a lot even with the investigation on Jussie Smollett. Empire has been renewed for one more season. Just so you know, the actor is not going to return to the cast.

Charmed

The critics had not been very kind to this reboot. Despite this, the show is going to stick around. We are sure that this has something to do with the great narrative and talented cast. Season two, here we go.

Grey’s Anatomy

You were wrong if you had any doubts that Meredith Grey and the rest of the gang would come back. As a matter of fact, the long-running TV show was renewed for two seasons. Time to celebrate, folks!

The Rookie

Life would be a lot harder if we did not have Nathan Fillion out there. You can just imagine how thrilled we are to hear that Rookie is going to get another season. Do not be fooled by the unsteady ratings!

This Is Us

Fans might have been worried about this drama, but the wait is over. We are happy to inform you that it is going to be here for a long time. After all, it was renewed for not only one season but three!

NCIS

Buckle up! The NCIS team is here to lead us on more thrilling investigations. CBS has announced that it was picked up for its 17th season. It makes sense – each episode rakes in an average of 16 million views!

Modern Family

The Dunphy-Pritchett gang returned for one more season. Even though this is great news, it was the last one too. Well, an 11-season run was not bad at all. Fun fact: this show is the top-rated comedy on ABC!

Timeless

It is tragic to hear that the show got the ax yet again. This is the second time it has happened as it was revived once, but it seems final this time around. Sony Pictures Television and NBC decided to cancel it.

The Good Place

We were happy when we found out that The Good Place was renewed for one more season. It must be the funniest thing in recent memory. Sadly, the fourth season was also its last one. We’ll miss it.

Riverdale

The teens of Riverdale were able to live past the threat of the CW spring cleaning. Whew. What would we do if the show was no longer on the air? We wonder what the fourth season is going to bring.

Bull

Things began to go downhill for this show after Eliza Dushku revealed that she was being harassed by Michael Weatherly. According to her, it was “one of the cruelest, most aggressive humiliations I have ever experienced.” The ratings of the show declined after that, but it was still granted a fourth season.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Nine-nine! How exciting is it to hear that the show has been picked up for another season? While it got canceled by Fox, it got another life when it was picked up by NBC. We can’t wait for the seventh season!

Arrow

There are plenty of reasons to think that this CW show would have a long time on the air. Unfortunately, we were all wrong to have been so complacent. The show failed to live past its eighth season.

Law & Order: SVU

While Peter Stone is no longer going to be on the show, Law & Order: SVU is here to stay. It was even picked up for the 21st season. This means that it is now the longest-running primetime live-action show.

Young Sheldon

Young Sheldon was not only granted a season renewal, but it was picked up for two seasons. The show will be here for a third and fourth season. Bazinga! We bet that you are as happy as we are about this.

Jane the Virgin

We loved seeing this telenovela-inspired TV show on the small screen. Gina Rodriguez was a great lead star, but the whole cast is talented as well. The fifth season was the last, and the finale aired in 2019.

How to Get Away with Murder

How can you possibly be shocked to hear that this drama show got picked up for a sixth season? After all, there is no one out there quite like Annalise Keating. We can’t wait to see how things will progress.

Fam

We are sad to tell you that we are not going to see more of Clem and her family. This freshman comedy failed to attract a big enough audience. Sadly, Nina Dobrev and her charm had been unable to do it.

Madam Secretary

Good news, everyone. The show survived and received the go signal for its sixth season. We can’t wait to see what the McCord 2020 campaign is going to be like. Are you ready to see how it will go this year?

Gotham

Gotham fans are probably sad to hear that the show will not be back for a sixth season. We know, it sucks. It will be missed. Despite this, we were still glad to see how Batman went from zero to hero.

Bless This Mess

Here is one more thing that you should be happy about. Bless This Mess made the cut and got another season! The show made its debut in April 2019. We can’t wait to see what the crew has in store for us.

Criminal Minds

No doubt, Criminal Minds was easily one of the best crime shows in recent TV history. The team went back on the air for its fifteenth season, but it was the final one as well. The finale aired in February 2020.

Manifest

We might still get to the bottom of things here. NBC made the call to give this popular show one more season. It was a big hit when it first came out. We can’t wait for all the drama that is bound to happen.

Last Man Standing

While ABC decided to drop this show in the past, Fox was willing to give it one more shot. The show got a renewal for one more season after the other network picked it up. We sure are relieved to hear this!

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

While we already saw the last of the Avengers movie, we can still get our Marvel fix with the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Get ready since the cast is here to give us more thrilling adventures in the next season.

Elementary

Fans of the show had been aware that the crime drama was already walking on a tightrope. They kept their fingers crossed for a new season every single year. Sadly, the CBS show ended with its 7th season.

Good Girls

Good Girls got moved to the Sunday night timeslot. This was a good move since it helped improve its ratings. We wonder just what the cast is going to get up to in the third season of the show! Can’t wait.

The Good Doctor

Did you know that the Good Doctor sees an average of 11.2 million viewers? We are not shocked to hear that the crew of the San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital is going to be with us for yet another season.

9-1-1

Fans of 9-1-1 are going to be glad to hear the news that it was renewed for its third season. The plotlines have been crazy, so we expect nothing more from the next season. Any ideas about what will come next?

Will & Grace

NBC granted Will & Grace another season. However, the reboot is not going to see past 2020. The last 18 episodes are going to air later this year, so you better keep an eye out for this final installment.

Take Two

Sorry to break it to you, but Take-Two is not going to get a second season. The police procedural did not get enough viewers, apparently. We are sure that this had a part to play in its cancelation.

black-ish

It is truly refreshing to see the Johnson family on the TV screen. The show got a renewal order for a sixth season, although the verdict is still out if it is getting a seventh one. We are keeping our fingers crossed!

Mom

Are you a fan of Mom? If this is the case, you will be glad to hear what we have to say: it got a two-season renewal! Kelly Khal of CBS Entertainment said, “We’re exceptionally proud to have Mom on our air; a high-quality, signature comedy with characters viewers love, that also brings strength and stability to our lineup. Under Chuck Lorre’s extraordinary leadership and with his outstanding writing and production team, we look forward to having Mom on CBS for many years to come.”

Station 19

Krista Vernoff, the showrunner of the hit show Grey’s Anatomy, is in charge of the spinoff series. Luckily, the show was renewed for a third season. We cannot wait to see what will happen next in the show!

Splitting Up Together

Bad news, guys. Splitting Up Together did not get renewed for a third season. The show got the ax after two seasons. Sadly, ABC apparently decided that the best course of action would be to put an end to it.

S.W.A.T.

While Sher Moore no longer has to work on Criminal Minds, he has been busy with S.W.A.T. It is a given that the show was inspired by the film of the same name. You can rest easy now as it has been renewed!

SEAL Team

We can hear your sighs of relief upon hearing that SEAL Team just got renewed. Not a lot of folks hoped that it would get a third season since the ratings had not been the best. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

Magnum P.I.

Even though this reboot of Magnum P.I. did not prove to be a critical success, it does have that fighting spirit. That’s good news, but we just hope that this second season will be a lot better than the first one.

Code Black

Code Black did not get lucky when it came to the game of renewals. CBS canceled it in May 2018 but had a change of heart. In the end, they reverted the decision once more and simply put the show to rest.

The Resident

The Resident has been blessed with one more shot. The medical series from Fox renewed for its third season. We do not know what to say except that we are excited to see what becomes of Jenna Dewan.

FBI

This new series got lucky because there was no doubt that it was going to get a second season. After all, it did get high ratings. In fact, it had been the No. 1 freshman show with 13 million viewers on average!

Chicago Fire

You might have doubts about Dick Wolf making a good TV show, but Chicago Fire is going to prove you wrong. It was even granted an eighth season! Tracey Pakosta and Lisa Katz, the Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming at NBC Entertainment announced, “We remain in awe of the job Dick Wolf, our producers, casts, and crews do in creating some of the most compelling television today. The Chicago franchise is a linchpin of our schedule and we’re thrilled that audiences have embraced our Wednesdays with such incredible passion for these shows and characters.”

Fresh Off the Boat

Jessica Huang is probably our favorite character on television. Honestly, we do not know how you can possibly not adore her. The show was blessed with a sixth season, but it was also the last one. RIP.

Chicago P.D.

You can now relax because we now know that Chicago P.D. is not going anywhere anytime soon. It has been renewed for 3 years! We will be able to tune into District 21 without worrying for quite some time.

Chicago Med

Chicago Med is not only returning for a new season, but it is here to stay for two more seasons. It has been renewed until the eighth season. It did snag 11.4 million viewers on the regular, so go figure!

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Sadly, we will not see more of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. This comedy has truly done amazing things for the network. While the fourth season was the final one, we daresay that the finale was incredible.

A Million Little Things

True enough, A Million Little Things did not start on the best note. Luckily, things started to get better when it got moved to the time slot after Grey’s Anatomy. It led to a high rating and got a second season!

New Amsterdam

Good news, you guys! NBC was kind enough to give New Amsterdam a second season. We cannot wait to see Dr. Goodwin do everything in his power to give his patients the best care he could give them.

Salvation

When it comes to ratings, the second season of Salvation did not fare very well. This led to the downfall of the show. CBS officially announced that it was pulling the plug on this sci-fi series. How devastating!

God Friended Me

Each episode of God Friended Me actually received 10 million viewers on average! Isn’t that impressive? It is now one of the most-watched new TV shows on CBS. It is not hard to see why it got a renewal order!

Superstore

NBC has announced that we were going to see more of this hilarious comedy show. We no longer have to worry about season 6. Since every episode gets a viewership of 4.4 million, we are not surprised.

The Flash

We are sure that you adore watching the adventures of Barry and the gang! If this is the case, then you are probably going to be thrilled to hear that it was renewed for the seventh season. We can’t wait!

The Neighborhood

The Neighborhood is a fine comedy series that has been renewed for a second season. If you ask us, it was just a matter of time. With such a talented cast and great ratings, this was pretty much a given.

The Bachelor

Do you remember when Colton jumped the fence? It was clear that drama ensued after such an iconic moment. The reality show got renewed for a 24th season, but we do not know what happens after this.

Bachelor in Paradise

How can you possibly not be amused by all the never-ending tears, fake eyelashes, and love octagons? This show got renewed for a 7th season. Who knows what kind of drama will ensue this time around?

Marlon

Marlon is a comedy show led by Marlon Wayan. Sadly, NBC gave it the ax. Even though it was pretty sad, it was not totally unexpected. After all, the ratings dropped when the second season was on the air.

Midnight, Texas

Are you a big fan of Midnight, Texas? If you just answered in the affirmative, we have bad news for you. The show will no longer be around. Its ratings might have gone up, but NBC did not give it another shot.

The Simpsons

The Simpsons has been on the air for a long time now. It has influenced pop culture like no other show has. The good news is that it is not in danger of cancelation. Yes, we are going to get a 32nd season!

Legacies

Legacies is a spinoff series of the hit shows The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. Thanks to teen viewers, the show is here to stay! It is going to stay on CW for the third season at the very least.

Single Parents

Fans just want the best for this oddball group of single parents. There was a time when it was patiently waiting in TV purgatory. The good news is that ABC ended up giving this comedy show a second season.

Speechless

It is not a secret at all that ABC is fond of quirky family sitcoms such as this one. Even though it fits the bill to a tee, this failed to convince network executives that the Dimeos are deserving of one more chance.

A.P. Bio

A.P. Bio was impressive because its second season was even funnier than the first one. Do you think this was enough to convince the network execs that it deserved one more season? The answer is yes! Nice.

iZombie

This must be one of the saddest entries on the list. We could not believe that iZombie got canceled! Is there any other show that captured trauma well but still made us laugh? Yeah, we did not think so.

Burden of Truth

Burden of Truth was lucky enough to enjoy a run of three seasons. The CW granted the thrilling drama a third season. However, we are still in the dark if it is going to get a fourth one. We shall see.

Happy Together

Did you know that Harry Styles produced Happy Together? Despite this fun fact, the show was unable to get the viewership that it needed. The good side of this is that not many people are sad about the news.

Schooled

The Goldbergs has a spin-off series called Schooled. It is a very fun show, so you should tune in! It was a good thing that the show got picked up for a second season. ABC even ordered more episodes of it!

Reverie

We have one more piece of bad news for you. Reverie is not going to come back to our TV screens. The rookie show was one and done. Its premiere got moved to summer, which explains the low ratings.

Supergirl

The CW has announced that season 6 is a go for Supergirl! What great news. However, we did not really expect anything less from our girl, Kara Danvers. It was a huge hit, so it makes perfect sense to us.

Bob’s Burgers

Bob’s Burgers was picked up for a tenth season, which is excellent news. After all, what are we going to do with our lives if it got canceled? However, we still have yet to hear the fate of its eleventh season.

The Blacklist

NBC granted The Blacklist a seventh season, which is on the air at the moment. On top of that, its eighth season got the green light as well. This happened even though the show was seeing a decline in ratings!

Trial & Error

Bad news, everyone. NBC decided to give this mockumentary the ax. Yes, we are not going to see a second season of Trial & Error. It is now time for us to say our goodbyes to East Peck.

Black Lightning

Are you prepared to join our favorite vigilante for more superhero adventures? Black Lighting did a lot of good things for the network, so we are not shocked to hear that the CW has given it a fourth season.

For the People

Shondaland is behind For The People. Even so, the show was unable to live up to the expectations that people had. Britt Robertson was great as the lead character, but the show was axed after two seasons.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow

Legends Of Tomorrow would be a very different show if Sara Lance was not in it. She is just amazing. We cannot wait to see what she is going to get up to in the sixth season of this show from the CW.

The Masked Singer

Are you ready to see one more season of bizarre, creepy and amazing performances? If this is the case, we have great news for you. The Masked Season is now airing the third season of this reality TV show.

Hawaii Five-0

Hawaii Five-0 has been on the air for 10 whole seasons. However, the network has decided to pull the plug on this police procedural. Maybe this has something to do with the bad casting and storylines. Oh well.

Dynasty

We bet that you love keeping up with the Carringtons as much as we do. The good news is that the CW has given Dynasty the green light for a fourth season. We hope that you are ready to see more catfights!

Man with a Plan

We have to be honest with you here. If you ask us, Matt LeBlanc deserves more memorable material than what the show has to offer. Despite this, Man with a Plan has been renewed for a fourth season.

I Feel Bad

We have to say that this show was not done well even though it was produced by none other than Amy Poehler. While it boasted progressive ideas, it was an uneven show. It got the ax after 13 episodes.

The Fix

The ABC did not think that the Fix deserved to get a second shot. The rookie legal drama did not get good ratings, which was why it got canceled. While it started out fine, the ratings just kept going down.

MacGyver

It was very impressive to hear that this show was given a fourth season. This is its chance to get it right! With Terry Matalis joining the crew as a co-showrunner, the season got an extended episode order.

The Outpost

You will be glad to hear that this fantasy show is due to return to our screens for a third season. We are excited to see if Talon will be able to keep her superpowers in check before things get out of hand!

The Kids Are Alright

The Kids Are Alright is the title of the show, but it is quite a misnomer. The truth is that it is not alright because the show failed to generate enough buzz. It was a great show, but ABC still gave it the ax.

American Housewife

What do the writers of American Housewife have in store for us? We do not know what plotlines they have in mind for Katie Otto, but we can’t wait. Needless to say, we are happy that it got a fourth season.

Hell’s Kitchen

You must be happy to hear that we will continue to see Gordon Ramsay for two more seasons at the very least. Are you ready to see more of this foul-mouthed chef? We sure hope that you just said yes!

Penn & Teller: Fool Us

The CW was right to grant Penn & Teller: Fool Us a seventh season. After all, there is no one out there who does not like to watch magic tricks. On top of that, Alyson Hannigan makes for one amazing host!

The Gifted

While there are good things to say about the Gifted, the show did not get enough attention from the viewers. If you like this Fox TV show, we are sad to break it to you that there will be no third season.

Whose Line Is It Anyway?

It feels like Whose Line Is It Anyway? has been around for a long time already. We are sure that you are not shocked to hear that it is getting one more season. The hit comedy show is now in its 16th season.

Shark Tank

Are you ready to hear about the fate of this reality show? Well, we are going to give it to you anyway! Season 11 is here, folks. Well, we did not expect anything less from this Emmy Award-winning show.

NCIS: Los Angeles

NCIS: Los Angeles is a big hit among fans of police procedurals. This show has been on the air for over a decade now. Get ready for more exciting investigations because the drama was renewed for season 11.

‘NCIS: New Orleans’

Now, we cannot deny that NCIS: New Orleans is not the most popular one in the franchise. Despite this, it does not mean that it doesn’t have loyal fans. Thanks to them, it has been renewed for a sixth season.

Love Connection

It is time for us to bid adieu to Love Connection. The show had a run of two seasons before it got the ax. However, some people would tell you that this Andy Cohen show went on for too long.

Family Guy

We doubt that you were all that surprised to find out that Family Guy is going to return to our screens. The show has recently come back for the 18th season. What are Stewie and the others up to this time?

Ellen’s Game of Games

NBC has decided that Ellen’s Game of Games will get one more season. We are honestly very excited to see what the fourth season of the hilarious game show will bring. Ellen, bring it on!

So You Think You Can Dance

We are sure that you can’t wait to watch the next season of this show. Rob Wade, the Fox Broadcasting Company Pres. Of Alternative Entertainment and Specials, said, “Each season, the talent on So You Think You Can Dance reaches new levels and continues to create the most incredible routines. The hard work and passion that goes into each performance is awe-inspiring. We can’t wait to see what Season 16 has in store and look forward to bringing you a new crop of incredible, inspired and inspiring dancers.”

Ransom

Ransom was able to live past the first few seasons. Even though it had been fortunate in the past, the show is out of luck. Season four is a no-go, which means that the third season was the last one.

The Cool Kids

Fox announced that it was pulling the plug on this freshman show. It broke our heart to hear that these retirees are not going to return to the TV screen. It was one of the freshest rookie comedies out there.

Abby’s

NBC also decided to give this rookie series the ax as well. The show did not have a long time to show us what it’s got since it did not survive past the freshman season. Sadly, we will never find out now.

The Orville

Even though Fox did not grant The Orville a third season, Hulu decided to pick it up instead. This Seth MacFarlane series is doing quite well in terms of ratings, so we are sure that this move will pay off.

The Passage

Sadly, The Passage was not as successful as the source material. Maybe this book series by Justin Cronin was not supposed to be adapted for the TV screen. The show only got one season before it got canceled.

Proven Innocent

Who doesn’t love to see justice served? We are sad to say that Madeline Scott is not going to get hers because the show got the ax after only one season. It went on for 13 episodes, which is a damn shame.

Rel

This TV show boasted plenty of potential, but it did not have a lot of originality. This must have been the reason folks did not feel very interested in Rel. We are not that surprised to hear about its cancelation.

Blindspot

In terms of ratings, Blindspot is in the middle of the pack. It had been stuck in limbo for some time, but the drama is going to get a fifth season. The bad news is that this is going to be the final one as well.

Life in Pieces

Life In Pieces got to enjoy a run of four seasons before it got the ax. To be honest with you, it had a pretty good run. Despite this, we feel sad for the fans who must have been heartbroken to hear this.

Murphy Brown

It was pretty sad to hear that the Murphy Brown reboot did not get a lot of success. The show was not received well both in the critical and commercial terms. Many fans thought that it was totally unnecessary. The show failed to survive the yearly spring cleaning.
