The regular season has wrapped up and the networks have presented their schedules for the 2018-19 season to the advertisers at the Upfronts. So we now know the fates of the shows that aired this past year (with a few stragglers here and there). Below is the round up of all the renewal, cancellation, and pickup announcements that came out around the time of the Upfronts. You can see how I did with my predictions (86.5% accuracy rate!) at this link and you can see how well the Scorecard gauged renewals and cancellations at this link. There are still a few more shows such as NBC’s Timeless, FOX’s Ghosted, and FX’s Legion awaiting word on their fates at this point, so stay tuned to this site and the Cancelled Sci Fi Twitter Site for breaking news and updates on those and more of the currently airing sci fi and fantasy shows.

Does it really matter anymore what gets cancelled, no one wins here, with petitions we can only prolong it maybe 1 more season, i give up trying because its up to the ratings and not us and the ratings are so unfair. So i say heck with it all and drive your self nuts when a good show comes out and then get cancelled, because we have no control over any of this. I’m DONE.
