The end of the 2014-15 season is almost here and next week the broadcast networks have their upfront presentations to the advertisers when they unveil their 2015-16 slate. That means that renewal and cancellation announcements will be hitting left and right and plenty of fans are on the edge their seats wondering if their favorite shows will be returning for another year (and/or what new genre entries are on the way). You can see the current status of all this season’s shows at the Cancellation Watch page (and I will try to update that as frequently as possible to reflect all the breaking news). As new announcements come up, I will be breaking those on the Cancelled Sci Fi Twitter Site and Facebook Page and will then be doing a round up of all the latest news on this site several times over the next few days. I will also list all of the breaking announcements below, but to get that info quicker you should keep a close eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages.
Pretty much all of the renewals and pickups should be announced by the time each network gives its presentation next week. But I expect the majority of the news to hit today and tomorrow with some straggling announcements over the weekend. Here is the schedule for when each network will present and expect to know their full slates before they get in front of the sponsors:
Monday, May 11, 2015 NBC (Morning)
Monday, May 11, 2015 FOX (Afternoon)
Tuesday, May 12, 2015 ABC
Wednesday, May 13, 2015 CBS
Thursday, May 14, 2015 The CW
