10 Shows on Renewal Edge at Upfronts

0:00It's April 27th, this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, your front row to the latest buzz. As net worth gear up for up fronts to drop their 2026-2027 schedules, only 10 scripted shows are still hanging in limbo, waiting on renewal or X. That's 3 from ABC RJ, Decker, Scrubs, and Shifting Gears. 5 from NBC, including brilliant minds, the fall and rise of Reggie Dinkins, the hunting party, law and order and, stumble plus foxes going Dutch and murder in a small town. Scrubs and Shifting Gears look like sherbetts, topping charts in the 18-49 demo and pulling strong viewer numbers overall. Scrubs leads his demo, while Shifting Gears sits high too, even though it's finale drop back in February and no renewal call yet. Law and order and the fall and rise of Reggie Dinkins feel safe too, with solid demo spots and viewer pulls, though it's weird the original procedural.

1:02Lags behind its SBU spin-off, which got locked in early from last year's deal. Murder in a small town mixes it up, strong and viewers but middling in demo, and no word after its December finale. RJ Decker's trending up in viewers lately, seventh overall but weak in demo, so its April 28 finale could tip the scales either way. The rest, hunting party, stumble, going Dutch and brilliant minds, trail bad in both metrics and brilliant minds won't even wrap season 2 till after. May's schedule's hit. I stay glued to those finalists and upfront announcements mid-May, deciding which bubble shows live to fight another season.
