20/20 | ABC | Currently Airing Season 43

20/20 is a long-running television news magazine that has been broadcasting on ABC since 1978. The show, initially created by ABC News executive Roone Arledge, features a program that’s similar to CBS’s 60 minutes, featuring several in-depth story packages, and it focuses on human stories rather than international and political topics. Interstingly, the “20/20” name came from the “20/20” measurement of visual sharpness.

20/20 continues to air and broadcast to this day, and it’s currently in its 43rd season. We certainly have to give a ton of credit to the people in ABC for continuing to renew the show. Expect 20/20 to continue to become a staple for Friday evenings, as it has now shifted to a two-hour format. The show now highlights various true crime stories and celebrity scandals, which we’re confident most viewers will find extremely interesting.

America’s Funniest Home Videos | ABC | Currently Airing Season 32

America’s Funniest Home Videos is another ABC television show that has been broadcasting for a long time. The show is ABC’s longest-running primetime entertainment show, and it has been on the air for 32 successful seasons. Due to its longevity, viewers have seen many hosts, and today, it’s currently hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro. The show continues its run as one of the most-viewed television shows, even after 32 seasons!

The show features various amateur videos submitted by regular people. Expect a ton of funny moments in each episode of America’s Funniest Home Videos, as amateur videos seem to get funnier each day. It’s worth noting that all videos on the show are taken by everyday people. Considering that home security systems come with CCTVs, we’re bound to see some extremely hilarious unedited footage submitted to the show every Sunday evening!

American Housewife | ABC | Cancelled After 5 Seasons

 

American Housewife is a hit television sitcom that aired on ABC in October of 2016. The show, created and written by Sarah Dunn, features the daily life of “Katie Otto.” She’s a wife and a mother who tries to deal with and maintain her family together with her sense of self. She also deals with various pretentious, wealthy, and even arrogant housewives in the town of Westport, Connecticut. American Housewife has been airing for five years, and it’s accumulated a decent fanbase.

That particular fanbase would be incredibly sad when they learn that the show won’t be renewed for a sixth season. ABC decided to cancel and pull the plug on American Housewife in May 2021 due to declining numbers. ABC must’ve done extensive investment planning and figured that their television lineup would be better without including American Housewife in it.

American Idol | ABC | Renewed for Season 20

 

American Idol is one of the most popular singing competition television shows in American Television. Created by Simon Fuller, American Idol began airing on Fox for 14 long years from 2002 until 2016. Throughout its history, the show has been able to produce some of the industry’s biggest talents, such as Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood, Kris Allen, David Cook, and many more!

The show began airing again on ABC in March of 2018 as part of the network’s attempt to bring it back. Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan take on the role of the show’s new judges. Fans of the revival, and the franchise in general, would be pleased to know that ABC is renewing the show for another season. It’ll premiere in the Winter of 2022, and ABC surely deserves a ton of credit for giving the show’s fans what they want.

A Million Things | ABC | Renewed for Season 4

  

A Million Little Things is one of the television shows that’s included in ABC’s drama lineup. It stars Romany Malco, David Guintoli, Allison Miller, Grace Park, Christina Moses, Floriana Lima, Tristan Byon, Lizzy Green, and Chance Hurstfield. The show’s plot is set in Boston, and it revolves around a close-knit group of friends who currently feel as if they’re stuck in relative aspects of their lives. The group, however, goes through an exciting change due to the untimely passing of one member, which also serves as a wake-up call to other members of the group.

A Million Little Things just finished its third season, and fans would be happy to learn that ABC is renewing it for the fourth season. Season three averaged a 0.43 rating and almost 2.75 million viewers. ABC must’ve felt that the show was an excellent investment and that renewing it for another season was a no-brainer.

The Bachelor | ABC | Pending Renewal

 

The Bachelor is a well-known American relationship and dating reality television show that started airing back in March 2002. It has been airing on ABC for 25 seasons, and it’s hosted by Chris Harrison. The show revolves around one Bachelor that starts with a pool of romantic interests. Among those included in the pool, he/she is expected to select a wife. Throughout the season, candidates will be slowly eliminated until the final week where the Bachelor ends up asking his final selection to marry him.

The ratings for this long-running ABC reality series have slowly been declining throughout the years. The Bachelor recently wrapped up its 25th season, and it isn’t clear if ABC will include it in its lineup for the 2021-2022 season. Expect the network to perform tedious investment planning in deciding on whether to renew it or not. If it gets renewed, we’re confident that loyal fans of the show would be delighted.

The Bachelorette | ABC | Renewed for Seasons 17 & 18

 

Another reality television dating show in ABC’s lineup is The Bachelorette. The hit series is a direct spin-off of The Bachelor and largely contributes to The Bachelor franchise. It features a single bachelorette and her chance to pick a husband-to-be among 25 bachelors. It has been airing on ABC since 2004, and the show has produced some of the most memorable moments in the history of the franchise.

Avid fans of the show would be pleased to know that ABC’s renewing The Bachelorette for two more seasons, giving the green light for a seventeenth and eighteenth season of The Bachelorette. ABC also announced that former Bachelorettes would host the next two seasons. The show’s ratings have been decent to a certain degree, and it’s certainly enough for ABC to include it in its lineup for two more seasons.

Bachelor in Paradise | ABC | Renewed for Season 7

 

Bachelor in Paradise is a well-known reality competition television series, which is another brilliant spin-off coming from The Bachelor franchise. It sports an elimination-style format, and it features previous contestants that have found themselves eliminated on The Bachelorette and The Bachelor. Bachelor in Paradise was initially hosted by Chris Harrison, and it’s set in a secluded and breathtaking paradise located in Mexico.

We’d certainly have to applaud and give credit to the creators of the franchise for another well-thought spin-off. The show recently finished its sixth season, and ABC decided to renew it for its seventh season. There’s certainly something interesting about reality competition and the possibility of winning a large sum of money. It’s also incredibly interesting to see former contestants of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette try and find true love on television one more time.

Big Sky | ABC | Renewed for Season 2

 

Big Sky is a crime drama thriller created by David E. Kelley, which started airing on ABC in November of 2020, and it just recently finished its first season. It’s based on a series of novels by C.J. Box, and it features an incredibly talented cast. Some of the notable actors in the cast of Big Sky include Kylie Bunbury, Katheryn Winnick, Natalie Alyn Lind, Jade Pettyjohn, Dedee Pfeiffer, and many more. The show was a fall entry in ABC’s 2020-21 television lineup, and it quickly gained its fair share of avid viewers and fans.

Those avid viewers and fans would surely be delighted to learn that ABC’s renewing the show for another season. Season one of Big Sky featured 16 episodes, and it also obtained respectable ratings. The results and ratings of the crime drama must have been enough for ABC to renew the show and further cultivate its investment! Expect a binge-worthy season two of Big Sky on ABC in the Fall of 2021.

Black-ish | ABC | Renewed for Eighth & Final Season

 

Another highly-celebrated sitcom on ABC’s lineup is black-ish. It’s a television series created by Kenya Barris, which started airing on ABC in September of 2014. The plot features an upper-middle-class African-American family that’s led by Anthony Anderson. The show also features Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, Miles Brown, and Marsai Martin. Throughout its seven-year run, the show has received critical acclaim.

Actors in the cast of black-ish have been able to win several awards, including several Golden Globe Awards, Emmy nominations, and a TCA Award. It’s also an undebatable fact that black-ish gained a decent following of avid fans and viewers throughout its seven-season run. Those fans will undoubtedly be thrilled to know that ABC is renewing the show for an eighth and final season. The network deserves a ton of credit for allowing the cast and staff of black-ish to end the show on a proper note without leaving any unanswered questions.

Call Your Mother | ABC | Cancelled After One Season

  

Call Your Mother is a television sitcom created by Kari Lizer. The sitcom started broadcasting on ABC on January 2021 as a midseason sitcom entry in the 2021-2021 television season. The show featured acting performances from Kyra Sedgwick, Joey Bragg, Austin Crute, Rachel Sennott, and Patrick Brammall. Call Your Mother focuses on a story about an empty nest mother who moved to Los Angeles, California, from Waterloo, Iowa, in order to be close to her children.

Five months later, Call Your Mother was canceled after airing for just one season. ABC must’ve figured out through extensive investment planning that the show wasn’t worth giving another shot. The first season of Call Your Mother averaged sub-par ratings and a viewer count of about 2.425 million. Despite the sub-par performance, we weren’t expecting ABC to pull the plug on the show after just a single season.

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune | ABC | Renewed For Season Two

  

It’s safe to say that everyone knows or has seen an episode of The Wheel of Fortune. Hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White, the show is one of the most popular television shows of all time. Interestingly, the show resulted in a spin-off that gained critical acclaim. The spin-off is called The Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and it features three celebrity contestants in each episode.

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune features the same game show format as Wheel of Fortune. Some of the actors who appeared in the first season were Leslie Jones, Rob Riggle, Joe Tessitore, Tony Hawk, Maria Menounos, and many more. Season one averaged an outstanding rating of 0.91 and a viewer count of 6.517 million. In turn, it was more than enough for ABC to jump and cultivate their investment in the show for a second season.

The Chase | ABC | Renewed For Season Two

  

It’s no secret that ABC has been airing many games shows this season. Once the world landscape changes, it’ll certainly be interesting how many of them will survive. One recent game show that’s gained attention is The Chase, which is an American adaptation of the British television quiz show, and it’s hosted by Brooke Burns. It features an entertaining and fast-paced competition where three contestants pit their wits and go against the “Chaser.”

The “Chaser” is a quiz genius who’ll be making it difficult for them to win the cash prizes. In such a short time, the show has been able to gain a decent viewer count. Season one of The Chase brought decent ratings and a viewer count of around 4.674 million. These numbers were certainly enough to be given the green light for another season after extensive investment planning from ABC executives.

The Conners | ABC | Renewed For Season Four

  

Up next is The Conners, which is one of ABC’s highest-rated comedy series. The comedy stars actors John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf, Emma Kenny, Michael Fishman, Ames McNamara, and Jay R. Ferguson. Well-known celebrities also make guest appearances in the show, and some of the most notable guest acts include Danny Trejo, Rene Rosado, and Anna Maria Horsford. The show has quite a loyal fanbase, and they’d surely be happy to learn that ABC is renewing it for the fourth season.

The show picks up on where the hit sitcom Roseanne left off. It follows the story of an extended working-class family led by John Goodman’s character. The first two seasons have been fairly exceptional for ratings, and the third season had just recently ended. The show saw a dip from viewer count as season three premiered with 4.900 million viewers and ended with 3.663 million. ABC must’ve tackled these numbers in their investment planning, and it was enough for it to be given the go signal four another season.

Dancing with the Stars | ABC | Renewed for Season 30

 

Premiered in June 2005, the US version of the UK dance competition Strictly Come Dancing, Dancing with the Stars was originally hosted by Tom Bergeron from its inception until its twenty-eight season in 2019. As the show renewed its twenty-ninth season, it premiered in September 2020 with a new host, Tyra Banks, who replaced Bergeron. Subsequently, the dance contest series went on to its thirtieth season in the Fall of 2021.

The show’s premise consists of a celebrity who is paired with a professional dancer, then performs the predetermined dances and competes with other participants vying for the judge’s votes and audience votes. The pair that receives the lowest combined total of the votes is eliminated from the competition each week until only one pair remain, which will then be declared the champion. Credit to the viewer’s support for the show, it continues to entertain people with its program.

For Life | ABC | Canceled after two seasons

The series was loosely based on a true story of a person imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, Isaac Wright Jr. The series centered on the character of Aaron Wallace, who was sentenced to life imprisonment after he was wrongly convicted.

The first episode was aired on July 24, 2019, while the renewal news broke even before the last episode aired on television.

Just like most of us, the production of the second season was affected by the ongoing pandemic. That’s why there is still no news about when the show will continue to air fresh episodes.

The announcement initially came from the network, including its 11 different series that will continue airing fresh episodes. However, there are still no reports about when they will bless our eyes with new and exciting scenes.

Batwoman’s second season didn’t do well in rating, averaging only 0.16% in the demographic of 18-49, seducing 663,000 viewers. The series is not the only one receiving a reduction of viewership but most shows of the network. More importantly, this leads The CW to turn their heads towards streaming platforms and other revenues.

Black Lightning | The CW | Aired fourth and final season

It’s bittersweet news for the Black Lightning fans as The CW network announced that the series fourth’s season would be the finale. Black Lightning was first introduced in 2018 and has already aired 58 episodes. The fourth season already aired on February 8, 2021, and bid its fans goodbye on May 24, 2021. Cress Williams, the lead credit, portrayed his Jefferson Pierce and Black Lightning role for the very last time. At the same time, Nafessa Williams, Christine Adams, and China Ann McClain, who gave justice to their characters, also took a bow.

The significant decline of viewership is one of the main factors why the show ended, considering that the first season had an average viewer of 2.74 million. In contrast, the third only had 1.09 million. On the other hand, Rotten Tomatoes gave the series fair scores: 96% for the first, 91, for the second, and 89% for the third.

Developed by Marc Guggenheim, Greg Berlanti, Phil Klemmer, and Andrew Kreisberg. Although the next season is already a thing, the casts aren’t. However, we can all cross our fingers for Caity Lotz, Jes Macallan, Tala Ashe, and Nick Zano to reprise their respective roles.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow was initially released in 2016, lasted 42 to 45 minutes, and distributed by Warner Bros. Television Distribution. If we’ll ask the established review site, Rotten Tomatoes, the superhero TV series has an average Tomatometer of 89% and an average audience score of 69%. This critically acclaimed series can be watched every Sunday at 8 PM, only on The CW. However, more streaming options will be made available to make international viewing more accessible in the future.

DC’s Stargirl | The CW | Renewed for Season 3

Guess the show already made a good impression as even before the second season started airing, the third season is already confirmed! Yes, you read it right; season 3 will happen. Brec Bassinger is set to portray Courtney Whitmore and Stargirl. Still, we hope to see more of Yvette Monreal, Anjelika Washington, and Cameron Gellman in the subsequent season.

To name some of the critical people, Sarah Schechter, Melissa Carter, and Greg Berlanti are the executive producers who indeed dropped a massive amount of investment money for this show to exist. Geoff Johns created Stargirl while Warner Bros. Television Distribution handles the distribution. Rotten Tomatoes gave the series a whopping 89%, while most reviewers gave it positive feedback. Without any future problems, the second season’s first episode is set to premiere on August 10, 2021. Hopefully, we’ll see an equal or even better quality show than the first season.

Dynasty | The CW | Renewed for Season 5

Included in the 12 shows that will receive another season is Dynasty. The show, which aired its first-ever season in October 2017, is now getting its fifth season. Since The CW Ceo and Chairman Mark Pedowitz announced before the fourth season released its news, the date and number of episodes of the fifth season are still up in the air. However, stars like Elizabeth Gillies, Nathalie Kelley, Robert Christopher Riley, and James MacKay will most likely return portraying their respective credits next season.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the show was forced to air 20 episodes on the third season, usually 22, but we can expect the fourth season to go back to its normal episode count. If you’re not updated, this show is a remake of the 1980s with a similar title. However, it incorporates modern elements and cinematography, making it an excellent watch for most enthusiasts of the genre.

The Flash | The CW | Renewed for Season 8

Of course, it has to have another one! The CW’s The Flash, which has been on the air since 2014, will still be airing fresh episodes, most probably in 2022. The seventh season started on March 2, 2021, and will reportedly end on July 20, 2021. Changes in the cast members, if there’s any, are yet to be announced, but of course, we’d like to see more of Grant Gustin as Barry Allen and The Flash while we’re rooting for Tom Cavanagh, Candice Patton, and Carlos Valdes’s credit to return for the upcoming season.

The superhero series has received a stunning 89% for the average Tomatometer, while Rolling Stone gave it a spot on its 40 Best Science Fiction TV Shows of All Time in 2016, ranked at number 23. Among the awards, it has received are ten Kids’ Choice Awards, one Primetime Emmy Award, six BMI Film, TV & Visual Media Awards, and six nominations.

In the Dark | The CW | Renewed for Season 4

All of In The Dark fans can now peacefully watch the third season of the crime drama TV series as the network included it on its 12 shows which will continue airing new and exciting episodes. Prominent characters such as Perry Mattfeld, Rich Sommer, Brooke Markham, and Casey Deidrick are expected to reprise their respective roles. Among its executive producers who have significant investment in the series are Ben Stiller, Corinne Kingsbury, and Jackie Cohn.

Filming of the third season finished in April 2021, while its first episode will air on June 23, 2021. The first and second had 13 episodes, so we presume that the third and fourth will get the same installments. It’s uncertain if the newly renewed season will be its last since everything is possible, but we’re crossing our fingers that it will not. Also, according to the TV Series Finale, it will most likely be released in September 2021 through August 2022.

Kung Fu | The CW | Renewed for Season 2

Another series that probably made an excellent first impression is Kung Fu, as The C.W. gave a signal for a second season. The first season’s filming ends in April 2021, while the initial episode premiered on April 7, 2021. The show stars Olivia Liang, Kheng Hua Tan, and Tzi Ma. David Madden, Martin Gero, and Greg Berlanti are known executive producers, while Christina M. Kim took the credit for developing the series.

There’s still no date for when the second season will be released, but reputable sources report its inclusion in the 2021-2022 T.V. season. Rotten Tomato gave it a fair Tomatometer score of 81%, while it received an average score of 65 out of 100 on Metacritic. Right now, let’s focus on how the first season will progress so that it will keep us in the loop for the upcoming season. The show airs at 8 PM E.T. on The C.W.

Legacies | The CW | Renewed for Season 4

 Legacies’ supporters, all of you can now breathe in relief as your favorite series on The CW channel is renewing itself for the next season. Danielle Rose Russell, Aria Shahghasemi, Kaylee Bryant, Jenny Boyd, and other cast members are expected to reprise their respective roles in the series, which started airing in October 2018. Television Distribution and executive produced by Brett Matthews, Leslie Morgenstein, Gina Girolamo, and Julie Plec, the creator.

Just like other renewed shows from the network, Legacies’ release date is yet to be announced, but there is a higher probability that we will also get to see it this year. We know that we’re not talking about credit cards, but we received the first three seasons in 16 installments, so the fourth season might also get similar episode counts. It’s too soon to know if this will be the last, but at least we have months to prepare for what it will be.

Nancy Drew | The CW | Renewed for Season 3

Another season will keep us at the edges of our seats as the supernatural mystery drama is coming back for its third season. Mark Pedowitz, the presiding CEO and Chairman of the board at The CW, also announced other series from the network like DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and All American. The first two seasons successfully aired 18 episodes each to expect the same number of installments for the third season. Also, the release date is still unknown, but we assumed that it would happen sometime in the fall of 2021. Yup, the waiting game is not that long.

Kennedy McMann, Maddison Jaizani, Tunji Kasim, and Scott Wolf are expected to reprise their respective credits. Executive producers like Lis Rowinski and Noga Landau are more likely to stand still in their position, while CBS Media Ventures might also handle the distribution. Whoever and whatever they will be, knowing that we’ll get another season alone of Nancy Drew is already a blessing!

Roswell, New Mexico | The CW | Renewed for Season 4

At this point, we’ve all heard or seen our fair share of sci-fi stories, narratives that dabble in some of the what-if scenarios suggested by the science community through the years. One such example would be Roswell, New Mexico, a show based on the Roswell High novel series written by Melinda Metz.

The story follows six protagonists, three of whom are aliens that took on human forms to blend in with society. Only their three human friends know this secret, but it wouldn’t take long before the rest of the world knows about it, too. The first season premiered back on January 15, 2019, and the show has since developed quite a fan base. After its second season finished its run, further investments have already been made to filming its third season. Just months before its premiere, though, the series was said to continue with the fourth season. Safe to say, the fans are more than happy with this announcement.

Walker | The CW | Renewed for Season 2

The entertainment industry is no stranger to remaking and rebooting old franchises for modern audiences. Despite often being composed of a new cast and crew, it’s clear that the project’s name alone already has a high degree of attraction to bring in numerous viewers, notable fans of the original.

One such show that has recently received a new iteration would be the Chuck Norris-led action-crime series Walker, Texas Ranger. Its reboot, titled Walker, premiered its first season back on January 21, 2021, with the titular hero now portrayed by Jared Padalecki. Along with the original’s fan base, it’s safe to say a good portion of this reboot’s viewers are fans of Jared. He is universally known for his performance as Sam Winchester in the Supernatural TV series. With that said, Walker recently received another chance to release five more episodes for its first season. Plus, the show is just waiting for the announcement of the new season!

Riverdale | The CW | Renewed for Season 6

While most remakes, reboots, and adaptations often stay loyal to the source material, that doesn’t mean there haven’t been any new iterations that provide a new twist to its already-established premise.

As risky as it sounds, though, this creative decision has undoubtedly introduced the world to plenty of popular shows. Among them would be CW’s Riverdale, a series revolving around characters based on the beloved Archie Comics. Despite the source material’s often light-hearted and comedic nature, Riverdale goes for a more serious teen-drama approach. Initially planned as a movie, it premiered as a series back in 2017 and, with credits to the show’s cast and crew, garnered widespread praise and recognition. Since then, it has released four subsequent seasons, with the recent one premiering recently in January 2021. Just after a month, however, Riverdale was renewed for a sixth season. The titular town and its citizens’ story is far from over.

Superman & Lois | The CW | Renewed for Season 2

Superheroes undoubtedly have a high degree of popularity all over the world at this point. Besides possessing amazing superpowers, they are also inspirational figures we often look up to and aspire to be. With that said, one such figure that is universally known is DC’s Man of Tomorrow, Superman.

First gaining recognition in the comic book world, Superman has since had numerous movies and TV shows. One of its most recent interpretations would be on the CW series Superman & Lois, with Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch portraying the titular leads, respectively. Despite filming its first season in June 2021, the series premiered on February 23, 2021, and surprised all fans. Thanks to the cast and crew’s excellent work, Superman & Lois became an instant hit. Finally, the show also received a chance to continue with another season! It’s interesting to think what kind of plot twists the show will introduce in the next season.

The Outpost | The CW | Renewed for Season 4

Along with science-fiction and the superhero genre, many of us are also fond of fantasy stories. The entertainment industry has spent an astounding amount of investment money on this genre through the years, with notable titles being Game of Thrones and the Lord of the Rings. With that said, a new contender is recently making its way to the spotlight.

With its first season premiering back in July 2018, The CW’s The Outpost has since developed a dedicated fan base. The story follows Talon and her journey to the titular outpost. Along the way, however, she discovers she possesses mystical powers that can help her defend herself and even the world. With that said, this adventure has now spanned three seasons. While critics panned it, The Outpost recently got the signal to produce another season’s worth of episodes. Perhaps with this new run, they can bring in more fans and supporters.

Supergirl | The CW | Renewed for Final Season

It sure looks like CW knows its way around adapting our favorite comic book heroes to life. In fact, they have since established their very own connected universe called the Arrowverse. Along with its namesake series Arrow, it comprises titles such as Legends of TomorrowSuperman & LoisThe Flash, and Supergirl. In the meantime, though, let’s take a look at the latter.

Since she’s Superman’s cousin, it’s no wonder Supergirl also possesses most – if not all – of the Man of Steel’s powers. The series initially premiered on CBS back in October 2015, but it has found its way to The CW since its second season. Since then, the show’s titular heroine has gone through numerous challenges. Throughout its six-season run, Supergirl has garnered a high degree of praise and recognition from critics and audiences alike. With that in mind, it’s safe to say the series will be concluding on a high note.

You’ve Reached The End
