NBC announced today that Chicago Fire has been renewed for a seventh season. The original entry in the Chicagofranchise will return for the 2018-2019 season along with spin-offs Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med. The franchise's most-recent spin-off, Chicago Justice, was cancelled last year after just one season.

Chicago Fire follows the courageous men and women at Firehouse 51, home to noble firefighters and paramedics who look fear in the eye and forge headfirst into dangerous situations in order to help those in need. After over 130 total episodes, the series still draws consistently-strong ratings for NBC on Thursday nights.

Look for Season 7 of Chicago Fire this fall.

NBC announced today that A.P. Bio has been renewed for a second season. The Seth Meyers-produced comedy premiered as a mid-season entry in February and just wrapped its 13-episode freshman run last week.

The half-hour series follows a philosophy scholar who, after losing out on his dream job, takes a position as a high school Advanced Placement Biology teacher. But he has plans far beyond teaching biology, including using his classroom full of honor roll students to help him mentally break his job-stealing nemesis and win back the position that he feels is rightfully his.

Critical response to the first season of A.P. Bio was mixed, with reviewers recognizing the show's ability to generate laughs but expecting more from the overall premise. Viewers seemed to have similar sentiments, as ratings were ultimately underwhelming.

Look for Season 2 of A.P. Bio to return for the 2018-2019 season, likely as a mid-season entry once again.

The CW announced this evening that The 100 will be returning for a sixth season. The pickup comes one month after the veteran drama was left on the bubble when the network renewed 10 of its other prime time shows. Fans can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series will continue for at least one more season.

Currently just two episodes into Season 5, ratings have so far been on-par with its levels from last year, while overall viewership is tracking slightly higher. The show is currently the fourth-longest-running series on The CW behind only Supernatural, Arrow, and The Originals.

Set in a future where the Earth was previously-decimated by nuclear Armageddon, The 100 follows a group of young survivors who are sent back to Earth in a desperate measure to keep the human race alive.

Look for Season 6 in early 2019.

Fox announced today that The Resident has been picked up for a second season. The good news comes ahead of the medical drama's first-season finale, which is scheduled to air next week.

Debuting earlier this year as a mid-season entry, the series has been a decent performer on Monday nights. Airing at 9:00pm, it has improved the network's ratings performance in that time slot by roughly 30% compared with last year.

The Resident stars Matt Czuchry as a senior resident and Emily VanCamp as a nurse practitioner at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. The series brings to light the hard truths about modern-day medicine - both good and bad. Some lives are saved while others are lost, but expectations will always be shattered.

Today's pickup ensures that all of Fox's new dramas for the 2017-2018 season will be coming back for a second run. This includes The Gifted, The Orville, and 9-1-1.

Hulu announced this morning that The Handmaid's Tale has been renewed for a third season. The good news comes as no surprise considering the success of the book-based drama, which premiered its sophomore season just last week.

The streaming service is stating that the series has doubled its viewership compared to Season 1 after its record-breaking return on April 25. The rise in popularity over the past year makes sense when you take into account the high critical praise the show continues to receive, including Golden Globe and Emmy wins for best television drama.

Based on the classic Margaret Atwood novel of the same name, The Handmaid's Tale takes place in a totalitarian society that was previously part of the United States. Elisabeth Moss plays Offred, one of the few remaining fertile women in the dystopia of Gilead. A handmaid in the commander's household, she is one of the caste of women who are forced into servitude in a desperate attempt to repopulate the world.

Look for Season 3 of The Handmaid's Tale in 2019.

HBO announced today that Westworld has been picked up for a third season. The big-budget sci-fi drama returned for its long-awaited sophomore run just over a week ago after nearly a year-and-a-half off the air.

Headlined by an A-list cast along with big-name producers and high-quality production values, Westworld premiered in 2016 and made its mark by becoming the cable network's most-watched debut series of all time. It has also garnered a healthy amount of critical acclaim, including dozens of award nominations from the likes of the Emmys and Golden Globes.

Based on the 1973 film of the same name, Westworld is a dark odyssey that takes place in the near future, with a re-imagined past, during the emergence of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. The show is set in a high-tech adult theme park, where every human appetite can be indulged regardless of how noble or depraved.

No time frame for a return has been announced as of yet, but it would appear likely that Season 3 will premiere sometime in 2019.

Showtime announced today that Billions has been renewed for a fourth season. The good news comes midway through the drama's third-season run, which has been continuing to garner solid ratings for the cable network.

Now Showtime's #2 drama behind only Homeland, the critically-acclaimed series stars Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis as two warring power players in the high-stakes world of New York finance. Giamatti plays a shrewd U.S. Attorney who puts his smarts and power up against an ambitious hedge fund manager, played by Lewis, in a bid to outmaneuver each other in a world where billions of dollars are at stake.

Also announced today is a scheduling change for new episodes of the show. Beginning on Sunday, May 6, Billions will air at 9:00pm rather than 10:00pm.

Look for the premiere of Season 4 in early 2019.

Late tonight ABC announced that Grey's Anatomy will be returning for a 15th season. The pickup not only extends the medical drama's already-impressive run, it also makes it the network's longest-running prime time scripted series of all time. That record was previously-held by the 1950s sitcom The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriett.

On the air since 2005, the veteran Shonda Rhimes hospital drama continues to be a strong performer in ABC's Thursday night lineup. While its ratings are not quite what they were in its heyday, the show still ranks as the network top drama in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic.

Grey's Anatomy follows Dr. Meredith Grey and her coworkers at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital. The staff of attending physicians, residents, and surgical interns are faced with all types of medical cases, from trivial to life-threatening. While furthering their careers, they learn and grow from the patients they treat and the relationships they form with each other.

CBS announced today that Blue Bloods has been renewed for a ninth season. The long-running Tom Selleck police drama has been a Friday night staple on the network, where it continues to garner consistently-healthy ratings deep into its run.

The series follows the Police Commissioner of New York, who runs his department in the same diplomatic manner he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his father during his stint as Chief.

Season 9 of Blue Bloods will see the series approach the 200-episode milestone. While a standard 22-episode order will not quite get it there, an order of 23 episodes - which it received in Season 3 - will see it hit that mark.

CBS announced today that Hawaii Five-0 has been renewed for a ninth season. The long-running cop drama continues to be a reliable Friday night staple, where it has been airing for the past five years. Today's pickup will ensure the show reaches the 200-episode milestone in 2019.

A reboot of the classic police procedural that aired from 1968 to 1980, Hawaii Five-0 follows Officer Steve McGarrett, who has returned to Hawaii to join up with Danny Williams as part of an elite branch of the Hawaii Police Force. This season saw a couple of original cast members replaced but ratings did not take much of a hit, making today's renewal for the 2018-2019 season an easy decision.

Look for Season 9 of Hawaii Five-0 to premiere this fall.

CBS announced today that Madam Secretary has been renewed for a fifth season. The political drama, which stars Téa Leoni as the Secretary of State, has seen its ratings decline considerably the past few years but has remained a Sunday night staple nevertheless.

Look for Season 5 of Madam Secretary this fall.

CBS announced today that MacGyver has been renewed for Season 3. The action-adventure series has been a decent performer for the network on Friday nights.

An update of the 1980s classic, the series was somewhat of a surprise success for the network when it premiered in 2016. Initial expectations were decidedly low after an early panning by critics, but viewers have continued to tune in, helping CBS improve its time slot vs. 2015 in both total viewers and the adults 18-49 demographic.

Look for Season 3 of MacGyver this fall.

Netflix announced today that Marvel's Jessica Jones has been renewed for a third season. The good news comes a month after the release of the superhero drama's sophomore season, which bowed in early March to more of the same critical praise it garnered in Season 1.

The series follows the titular character, who is a troubled former superhero rebuilding her life by starting her own detective agency in New York City's Hell's Kitchen. After dealing with her tormentor in Season 1, Season 2 sees Jessica starting to once again put her life back together while dealing with a new threat.

No premiere date has been announced for Season 3 of Jessica Jones, though fans surely hope the wait will be shorter than the two years in between the show's first two seasons.

HBO announced today that Silicon Valley has been renewed for a sixth season. The good news comes three week's into the the long-running comedy's fifth-season.

Created by Mike Judge, the award-winning half-hour series continues to garner critical acclaim year in and year out. Its audience numbers, though, have taken a noticeable hit in Seasons 4 and 5, having dropped roughly half of its viewers compared to its first three seasons.

Partially inspired by Judge's experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late '80s, the comedy follows the lives of a group of high tech workers in the Palo Alto area of California. While this group of social outcasts may be the most qualified to succeed in this modern environment, they are not necessarily capable of handling the success.

Look for Season 6 of Silicon Valley in the spring of 2019.

CBS announced today that Mom has been picked up for a sixth season. The Chuck Lorre-created comedy has been one of the network's top comedies over the course of its run, and at over 100 episodes still garners solid ratings week in and week out.

Following the lives of a mother and daughter who are both struggling with addiction issues, the series stands apart from many other comedies on television thanks to its penchant for tackling serious topics like death and alcoholism and mixing those topics with genuine and witty humor.

Mom's renewal today ensures that all three of Lorre's comedies remain on the CBS schedule for the 2018-2019 season. Look for a return this fall.

The CW announced today that Riverdale has been renewed for a third season. The drama is currently in the back half of its 22-episode sophomore run, which received an increased order after the success of its 13-episode first season.

Featuring re-imagined characters from Archie Comics, the noir-style drama follows Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead in their high school years as they deal not only with issues in each of their personal lives, but also with the aftermath of multiple murders in their small town.

Riverdale has continued to be a strong performer for the network in Season 2. Ratings have actually increased compared with its first season, while delayed and digital viewing remain strong as well. Those are all positive signs as the show winds down the current season, which continues with new episodes on April 18.

The CW announced today that Supernatural has been renewed for a 14th season. The network's most-veteran drama continues to be a solid performer after well over a decade on the air.

One of the longest-running prime time shows on any network, Supernatural maintains a loyal fan base that has helped keep its ratings consistent year after year. The show's impressive run will hit the 300-epiosode milestone next year if at least 13 episodes are ordered for Season 14.

The CW announced today that DC's Legends of Tomorrow has been renewed for a fourth season. The superhero drama has continued to be a reliable and steady performer for the network on Monday nights.

Premiering in 2016 as an ensemble series featuring characters spun-off from Arrow and The Flash, the show takes place in the same shared DC Comics universe but with a time travel twist. Its first season began as a mid-season entry, but Seasons 2 and 3 have both been a part of the network's regular fall lineup.

The CW renewed all five of its DC superhero shows today, which means Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and newcomer Black Lightning will also be returning for the 2018-2019 television season.

The CW announced today that Supergirl has been renewed for a fourth season. Airing on Monday nights, the series draws fairly consistent ratings that place it in the middle of the pack compared to other shows in the network's lineup.

The action drama has fared well since its move to the network from its original home on CBS. Being on The CW also allows it benefit from crossover episodes with other shows from the DC Comics universe, which have proven to give it a significant ratings bump.

All five of its DC superhero series were picked up today by The CW. Fans can look forward to more Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Black Lightning in the 2018-2019 television season.

The CW announced today that Arrow has been renewed for a seventh season. The long-running action drama is the network's longest-running superhero-based series, with its success helping pave the way for the likes of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.

Once a flagship of The CW, Arrow's ratings have tapered off over the years. But at 131 episodes, that is to be expected. And yet, it still draws fairly good numbers for the network compared to its other prime time entries.

All told, The CW now has five series on the air from the DC Comics universe. Today's announcement included the renewals of all of those shows, which will return for the 2018-2019 season.

The CW announced today that The Flash has been renewed for a fifth season. The action drama continues to be one of the network's strongest-performing series, with ratings that consistently top its fellow superhero-based entries.

It is unknown if Season 5 will consist of the typical 23 episodes it has received in each season thus far, but even with a shorter order, the show will reach the 100-episode milestone when it returns.

Along with The Flash, The CW renewed all of its other DC universe programs today. Also picked up for the 2018-2019 season are Arrow, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and newcomer Black Lightning.

ABC announced today that its revival of Roseanne has been renewed for another season, which will be the show's 11th overall. The news comes as no surprise after the comedy's well-received return to television earlier this week.

In its first two episodes back, which aired in a one-hour block on Tuesday night, Roseanne surpassed all expectations by drawing a massive audience of 18 million viewers with an impressive 5.2 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic. Those numbers are almost unheard of nowadays, especially for broadcast comedies.

Being that the show was one of the network's most popular sitcoms of the 1990s, it makes sense that its return with the entire original main cast would draw a lot of interest. While it is yet to be seen how much momentum from its premiere it can retain, the revival's strong start was enough to earn it at least another season.

CBS announced today that S.W.A.T. will be returning for a second season. The early pickup comes in the midst of the drama's freshman run, which has eight episodes remaining ahead of its season finale in May.

The series premiered late last fall with an initial 13-episode order that ended up faring well for the network. It was just a few weeks until the show was given an additional seven episodes, followed by two more in December. That brought its total count to 22 episodes - a full season's worth.

S.W.A.T. has actually done a solid job to improve CBS' fortunes on Thursday nights at 10:00pm. The network has had trouble finding a reliable show to put in that time slot for a number of years now, so S.W.A.T.'s consistent performance no doubt ensured its return for a second season.

Shemar Moore stars in the Los Angeles-based series, which follows a former Marine tasked with running a specialized tactical unit that acts as the city's last stop in law enforcement. Raised on the streets, he is torn between his loyalty to his roots and his allegiance to his new brothers in blue as he works to bridge the divide between his two worlds.

Look for Season 2 to premiere as part of CBS' 2018-2019 lineup this fall.

CBS announced today that SEAL Team has been renewed for a second season. The early pickup comes with two episodes remaining in the military drama's freshman run, which has fared well on Wednesday nights in the 9:00pm time slot.

The series premiered as part of the network's fall lineup last September and quickly made its mark as a strong performer. It wasn't long before CBS topped up its order to 22 episodes, making it the season's first new drama to be given a full season. Continued consistent ratings over the months that followed resulted in today's decision to bring the show back for Season 2.

SEAL Team follows an elite unit of Navy SEALs that is composed of a tight-knit group of patriots with fearless dedication. Deployed on clandestine ops around the world, its members embark on these dangerous, high-stakes missions knowing the toll it takes on themselves and their families.

Look for Season 2 to premiere as part of CBS' 2018-2019 lineup this fall.

NBC announced today that the Will & Grace revival has received its second renewal since returning to television, for what will be the show's 11th season overall. The early pickup comes with two episodes remaining in its ninth season, ensuring the Emmy Award-winning comedy will be on the air for the foreseeable future.

The series wasted no time in picking up where it left off after returning to TV last fall. The revival has garnered praise for capturing the essence of the original series and being able to return to form without missing a beat. The show was even nominated for a 2018 Golden Globe Award in the Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy category.

Will & Grace originally premiered in 1998 and during its eight years on the air it became a staple in the peacock network's Must See TV comedy lineup on Thursday nights. Rumors of a revival first started when the cast reunited in the fall of 2016 for an online special urging Americans to vote in the upcoming presidential election. And while that was done without any involvement from NBC, it was enough for the network to start thinking about bringing the show back.

Today's Season 11 renewal is for 18 episodes that will premiere in the fall of the 2019-2020 season. As for Season 10, which returns this fall, its original order of 13 episodes has now been expanded to 18 as well.
