    • NBC Renews 'A.P. Bio'

    NBC announced today that A.P. Bio has been renewed for a second season. The Seth Meyers-produced comedy premiered as a mid-season entry in February and just wrapped its 13-episode freshman run last week.
    The half-hour series follows a philosophy scholar who, after losing out on his dream job, takes a position as a high school Advanced Placement Biology teacher. But he has plans far beyond teaching biology, including using his classroom full of honor roll students to help him mentally break his job-stealing nemesis and win back the position that he feels is rightfully his.
    Critical response to the first season of A.P. Bio was mixed, with reviewers recognizing the show's ability to generate laughs but expecting more from the overall premise. Viewers seemed to have similar sentiments, as ratings were ultimately underwhelming.
    Look for Season 2 of A.P. Bio to return for the 2018-2019 season, likely as a mid-season entry once again.

    The CW Cancels 'Valor'

    It is being reported that The CW has canceled Valor after its first season. The move was somewhat expected after the network stated late last year that it would not be ordering any additional episodes of the show's first season past its original 13.
    The military drama took place on a U.S. Army base home to an elite unit of highly-trained helicopter pilots. After a secret mission in Somalia goes horribly wrong, only two members of the team returned safely. As the two grow closer, they find themselves torn between duty, honor, and desire.
    The move to axe Valor comes as the network is making its final decisions on renewals for the 2018-2019 season. Life Sentencewas also officially cancelled earlier today, leaving only iZombiestill waiting on word of its future.

    'Life Sentence' Cancelled At The CW

    Some sad news today for fans of Life Sentence, as The CW has officially cancelled the new dramedy after just one season. Star Lucy Hale took to Twitter this morning to share the information with her followers, writing that she is shell shocked by the cancellation but proud of what the show accomplished.
    The mid-season entry premiered in March and is currently seven episodes into its 13-episode run. While Hale brings with her a sizeable fan base, the series has struggled to find an audience, with ratings among the lowest in the network's prime time lineup.
    Life Sentence follows Stella, a young woman who has spent the last eight years living like she was dying after being diagnosed with cancer. When she learns that she is in remission, Stella is faced with the consequences of the bad decisions she made while living in the moment. With the rest of her life suddenly in front of her, Stella now has a real future to think about.
    Six episodes remain until the series finale, which is scheduled to air on June 15.

    'The 100' Renewed For Season 6

    The CW announced this evening that The 100 will be returning for a sixth season. The pickup comes one month after the veteran drama was left on the bubble when the network renewed 10 of its other prime time shows. Fans can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series will continue for at least one more season.
    Currently just two episodes into Season 5, ratings have so far been on-par with its levels from last year, while overall viewership is tracking slightly higher. The show is currently the fourth-longest-running series on The CW behind only Supernatural, Arrow, and The Originals.
    Set in a future where the Earth was previously-decimated by nuclear Armageddon, The 100 follows a group of young survivors who are sent back to Earth in a desperate measure to keep the human race alive.
    Look for Season 6 in early 2019.

    Fox Renews 'The Resident'

    Fox announced today that The Resident has been picked up for a second season. The good news comes ahead of the medical drama's first-season finale, which is scheduled to air next week.
    Debuting earlier this year as a mid-season entry, the series has been a decent performer on Monday nights. Airing at 9:00pm, it has improved the network's ratings performance in that time slot by roughly 30% compared with last year.
    The Resident stars Matt Czuchry as a senior resident and Emily VanCamp as a nurse practitioner at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. The series brings to light the hard truths about modern-day medicine - both good and bad. Some lives are saved while others are lost, but expectations will always be shattered.
    Today's pickup ensures that all of Fox's new dramas for the 2017-2018 season will be coming back for a second run. This includes The Gifted, The Orville, and 9-1-1.

    'The Handmaid's Tale' Renewed For Season 3

    Hulu announced this morning that The Handmaid's Tale has been renewed for a third season. The good news comes as no surprise considering the success of the book-based drama, which premiered its sophomore season just last week.
    The streaming service is stating that the series has doubled its viewership compared to Season 1 after its record-breaking return on April 25. The rise in popularity over the past year makes sense when you take into account the high critical praise the show continues to receive, including Golden Globe and Emmy wins for best television drama.
    Based on the classic Margaret Atwood novel of the same name, The Handmaid's Tale takes place in a totalitarian society that was previously part of the United States. Elisabeth Moss plays Offred, one of the few remaining fertile women in the dystopia of Gilead. A handmaid in the commander's household, she is one of the caste of women who are forced into servitude in a desperate attempt to repopulate the world.

    'Westworld' Renewed For Season 3

    HBO announced today that Westworld has been picked up for a third season. The big-budget sci-fi drama returned for its long-awaited sophomore run just over a week ago after nearly a year-and-a-half off the air.
    Headlined by an A-list cast along with big-name producers and high-quality production values, Westworld premiered in 2016 and made its mark by becoming the cable network's most-watched debut series of all time. It has also garnered a healthy amount of critical acclaim, including dozens of award nominations from the likes of the Emmys and Golden Globes.
    Based on the 1973 film of the same name, Westworld is a dark odyssey that takes place in the near future, with a re-imagined past, during the emergence of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. The show is set in a high-tech adult theme park, where every human appetite can be indulged regardless of how noble or depraved.
    No time frame for a return has been announced as of yet, but it would appear likely that Season 3 will premiere sometime in 2019.

    'Billions' Renewed For Season 4

    Showtime announced today that Billions has been renewed for a fourth season. The good news comes midway through the drama's third-season run, which has been continuing to garner solid ratings for the cable network.
    Now Showtime's #2 drama behind only Homeland, the critically-acclaimed series stars Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis as two warring power players in the high-stakes world of New York finance. Giamatti plays a shrewd U.S. Attorney who puts his smarts and power up against an ambitious hedge fund manager, played by Lewis, in a bid to outmaneuver each other in a world where billions of dollars are at stake.
    Also announced today is a scheduling change for new episodes of the show. Beginning on Sunday, May 6, Billions will air at 9:00pm rather than 10:00pm.

    The series takes place in a remote Alaskan town that is overrun by an invading army of deadly paranormal beings. With its residents cut off from civilization and left to fend for themselves, local outcast Roman Mercer leads the fight to ensure their survival. Doing so means he must harness his repressed psychic powers in the face of dark secrets and a shadowy organization linked to a deeper mystery.

    'Grey's Anatomy' Renewed For Season 15

    Late tonight ABC announced that Grey's Anatomy will be returning for a 15th season. The pickup not only extends the medical drama's already-impressive run, it also makes it the network's longest-running prime time scripted series of all time. That record was previously-held by the 1950s sitcom The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriett.
    On the air since 2005, the veteran Shonda Rhimes hospital drama continues to be a strong performer in ABC's Thursday night lineup. While its ratings are not quite what they were in its heyday, the show still ranks as the network top drama in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic.
    Grey's Anatomy follows Dr. Meredith Grey and her coworkers at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital. The staff of attending physicians, residents, and surgical interns are faced with all types of medical cases, from trivial to life-threatening. While furthering their careers, they learn and grow from the patients they treat and the relationships they form with each other.

    NBC Cancels 'Taken'

    Taken's days appear to numbered, as NBC has removed all upcoming episodes of the show from its regular schedule, effective immediately. The move comes 11 episodes into the movie-based drama's sophomore run.
    Acting as a prequel to the film franchise of the same name, Taken tells the origin story of a younger and hungrier Bryan Mills. Working to overcome a devastating personal tragedy, the former Green Beret finds his way into a career as a CIA operative, allowing him to utilize his very particular and dangerous set of skills.
    The series premiered as a mid-season entry last year, garnering modest ratings for the network on Monday nights. Its debut outing earned it a Season 2 pickup with a lengthier run, but a move to Fridays only served to hurt its ratings this time around.
    For fans wanting to see how Taken plays out, it is being reported that its remaining five episodes will air on Saturdays beginning May 26.

    'Homeland' To End After Season 8

    It looks as if the end of Homeland is near. In an interview with Howard Stern earlier today, star Claire Danes appeared to confirm that the long-running drama will indeed not continue past next season - the show's eighth.
    Stern was first to bring up the fact that Homeland would be coming to a close next  year, and Danes concurred, responding simply with, "yeah, that's it." The news doesn't come as a complete surprise, as showrunner Alex Gansa has gone on the record in the past about likely wrapping things up in Season 8.
    The series was last picked up in 2016, when two additional seasons were ordered at the same time as part of an overall deal with Fox 21 TV Studios. While Showtime has not officially commented on the show's future, it appears in all likelihood that Season 8 will be its final act.

    'Blue Bloods' Renewed For Season 9

    CBS announced today that Blue Bloods has been renewed for a ninth season. The long-running Tom Selleck police drama has been a Friday night staple on the network, where it continues to garner consistently-healthy ratings deep into its run.
    The series follows the Police Commissioner of New York, who runs his department in the same diplomatic manner he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his father during his stint as Chief.
    Season 9 of Blue Bloods will see the series approach the 200-episode milestone. While a standard 22-episode order will not quite get it there, an order of 23 episodes - which it received in Season 3 - will see it hit that mark.

    'Hawaii Five-0' Renewed For Season 9

    A reboot of the classic police procedural that aired from 1968 to 1980, Hawaii Five-0 follows Officer Steve McGarrett, who has returned to Hawaii to join up with Danny Williams as part of an elite branch of the Hawaii Police Force. This season saw a couple of original cast members replaced but ratings did not take much of a hit, making today's renewal for the 2018-2019 season an easy decision.

Initial expectations were decidedly low after an early panning by critics, but viewers have continued to tune in, helping CBS improve its time slot vs. 2015 in both total viewers and the adults 18-49 demographic.

    Netflix announced today that Marvel's Jessica Jones has been renewed for a third season. The good news comes a month after the release of the superhero drama's sophomore season, which bowed in early March to more of the same critical praise it garnered in Season 1.
    The series follows the titular character, who is a troubled former superhero rebuilding her life by starting her own detective agency in New York City's Hell's Kitchen. After dealing with her tormentor in Season 1, Season 2 sees Jessica starting to once again put her life back together while dealing with a new threat.

    'Silicon Valley' Renewed For Season 6

    Created by Mike Judge, the award-winning half-hour series continues to garner critical acclaim year in and year out. Its audience numbers, though, have taken a noticeable hit in Seasons 4 and 5, having dropped roughly half of its viewers compared to its first three seasons.
    Partially inspired by Judge's experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late '80s, the comedy follows the lives of a group of high tech workers in the Palo Alto area of California. While this group of social outcasts may be the most qualified to succeed in this modern environment, they are not necessarily capable of handling the success.

    Following the lives of a mother and daughter who are both struggling with addiction issues, the series stands apart from many other comedies on television thanks to its penchant for tackling serious topics like death and alcoholism and mixing those topics with genuine and witty humor.
    Mom's renewal today ensures that all three of Lorre's comedies remain on the CBS schedule for the 2018-2019 season. Look for a return this fall.

    Featuring re-imagined characters from Archie Comics, the noir-style drama follows Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead in their high school years as they deal not only with issues in each of their personal lives, but also with the aftermath of multiple murders in their small town.
    Riverdale has continued to be a strong performer for the network in Season 2. Ratings have actually increased compared with its first season, while delayed and digital viewing remain strong as well.

    One of the longest-running prime time shows on any network, Supernatural maintains a loyal fan base that has helped keep its ratings consistent year after year. The show's impressive run will hit the 300-epiosode milestone next year if at least 13 episodes are ordered for Season 14.

Its first season began as a mid-season entry, but Seasons 2 and 3 have both been a part of the network's regular fall lineup.
    The CW renewed all five of its DC superhero shows today, which means Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and newcomer Black Lightning will also be returning for the 2018-2019 television season.

    The action drama has fared well since its move to the network from its original home on CBS. Being on The CW also allows it benefit from crossover episodes with other shows from the DC Comics universe, which have proven to give it a significant ratings bump.
    All five of its DC superhero series were picked up today by The CW. Fans can look forward to more Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Black Lightning in the 2018-2019 television season.

    Once a flagship of The CW, Arrow's ratings have tapered off over the years. But at 131 episodes, that is to be expected. And yet, it still draws fairly good numbers for the network compared to its other prime time entries.
    All told, The CW now has five series on the air from the DC Comics universe. Today's announcement included the renewals of all of those shows, which will return for the 2018-2019 season.

    ABC Renews 'Roseanne' Revival

    ABC announced today that its revival of Roseanne has been renewed for another season, which will be the show's 11th overall. The news comes as no surprise after the comedy's well-received return to television earlier this week.
    In its first two episodes back, which aired in a one-hour block on Tuesday night, Roseanne surpassed all expectations by drawing a massive audience of 18 million viewers with an impressive 5.2 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic. Those numbers are almost unheard of nowadays, especially for broadcast comedies.
    Being that the show was one of the network's most popular sitcoms of the 1990s, it makes sense that its return with the entire original main cast would draw a lot of interest. While it is yet to be seen how much momentum from its premiere it can retain, the revival's strong start was enough to earn it at least another season.

    CBS Renews 'S.W.A.T.'

    CBS announced today that S.W.A.T. will be returning for a second season. The early pickup comes in the midst of the drama's freshman run, which has eight episodes remaining ahead of its season finale in May.
    The series premiered late last fall with an initial 13-episode order that ended up faring well for the network. It was just a few weeks until the show was given an additional seven episodes, followed by two more in December. That brought its total count to 22 episodes - a full season's worth.
    S.W.A.T. has actually done a solid job to improve CBS' fortunes on Thursday nights at 10:00pm. The network has had trouble finding a reliable show to put in that time slot for a number of years now, so S.W.A.T.'s consistent performance no doubt ensured its return for a second season.
    Shemar Moore stars in the Los Angeles-based series, which follows a former Marine tasked with running a specialized tactical unit that acts as the city's last stop in law enforcement. Raised on the streets, he is torn between his loyalty to his roots and his allegiance to his new brothers in blue as he works to bridge the divide between his two worlds.
    Look for Season 2 to premiere as part of CBS' 2018-2019 lineup this fall.
