ABC upfronts are May 14, the fate of any questionable shows will be decided by then, if not before. ABC did have one renewal last week, Black-ish was renewed for a sixth season. Whiskey Cavalier managed to gain a tenth while The Fix lost a tenth. The chances of either show being renewed are slim to none. Bless This Mess lost another tenth as well, its chances are fading. 1969 was steady, but low.

CBS upfronts are May 15 and the network has in the past played things close to the vest right up until their date. Of the shows that haven't been renewed already, dramas Hawaii Five-0, MacGyver, Bull, SEAL Team and SWAT are all likely safe. Man with a Plan should be renewed, however none of the new season comedies did well at all, if any of them get a second season it may be down to luck of the draw. The Red Line premiered low. Good thing its a 'limited series' network execs will only have to suffer for a few weeks.

NBC upfronts are May 13. Most of the network's programming has already been given renewal slips for the next season. A.P. Bio could squeak another year. The ratings have been bad, but no worse than Brooklyn Nine-Nine which has already been renewed. Fans of Blindspot only need to wait another week to find out if their show is renewed. Fans of Abby's should probably enjoy what's left. The Enemy Within and The Village haven't been rating winners for the network, either. Their fate most likely depends on what the slate of new dramas looks like for the network.

FOX upfronts are May 13, fans of Lethal Weapon, The Orville, and Star will know by then if they will have more of their favorite shows. The Orville and Star should be renewed, as should The Cool Kids. Lethal Weapon had a good bounce at the end of its season, but its future is more in question due to Damon Wayans waffling more than anything.

The CW has already announced its entire schedule renewed for next year, all that's left for the network to present on May 15 is what its fall schedule will look like. The 100 premiered about where it ended last season, iZombie opened its final season down a tenth from last year. In The Dark and Dynasty managed to hit new lows, with a half a million viewers or less. It's going to be a long season for CW execs next year.
