Network Scripted TV Scorecard 2025: What’s Renewed, Canceled and Still in Limbo
- The 2024-25 broadcast season has seen some breakout successes despite ongoing challenges in the industry.
After a rough few years in the broadcast landscape, the 2024-25 season has brought in some rays of hope.
To be sure, the long-term structural challenges for network TV remain in a world where streaming is the default platform for the largest share of viewers and ongoing corporate consolidation continues to shrink the number of potential suppliers (and buyers) of shows. But several network shows have achieved breakout status in the past year, and each of the big four broadcasters (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC) can claim at least one success story among their crop of first-year series. The fact that networks are also the primary suppliers of the long-running, deep-library shows that keep streaming services humming also seems to have sunk in across the industry.
More from The Hollywood Reporter
About that corporate consolidation: The past year has continued the trend of media company reorganization. Both Paramount and Disney closed studios ( Paramount TV Studios and ABC Signature ), laying off staffers and folding existing work into other studios within their companies (CBS Studios and 20th Television), and NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. Discovery recently restructured their TV leadership groups, effectively placing decision-making power in fewer hands.
As has been the case for years now, recognizable IP remains a cheat code for broadcasters — CBS will be chock-full of franchises and spinoffs in 2025-26, and ABC is teeing up a Nashville-set 911 spinoff, with other spinoff projects in development at both networks.
Below is THR' s annual guide to what's returning, what's not and what's new in scripted series at the broadcast networks. Bookmark this page for updates as the end of the season and the network upfronts approach.
(Key: First-year shows have an asterisk. Renewed series are in bold. Unless otherwise noted, shows are produced by a network's sibling studio — 20th Television for ABC, CBS Studios for CBS, Fox Entertainment Studios for Fox and Universal TV and UCP for NBC. The CW doesn't have an in-house studio but co-produces several of its scripted shows.)
