  1. NBC has cancelled Dracula, axing the new drama after one season. The show aired for a short 10-episode run during 2013-2014, but drew lackluster ratings over the course of the season. Dracula joins Believe and Crisis as other recently-cancelled NBC freshman dramas.
  2. CBS has renewed The Mentalist for a seventh season. The once-ratings heavyweight has seen its viewership dip in recent years, falling to series lows in Season 6, which concludes May 18. It is rumored that the show will return for one final season of 13 episodes, short of its typical order of 22 or more.
  3. ABC has renewed Last Man Standing for a fourth season. The Tim Allen comedy has experienced continued success on Friday nights, where it has been airing since moving from Tuesdays after Season 1. Look for Season 4 of Last Man Standing to premiere this fall.
  4. TBS has renewed Cougar Town for a sixth and final season. The Courteney Cox comedy has been airing on the cable network since its move from ABC in early 2013. The show will conclude its run with 13 episodes that will air in early 2015. During that time it will surpass the 100-episode milestone.
  5. CBS has cancelled Hostages after one season. The freshman suspense drama ran for 15 episodes during 2013-2014 but failed to draw significant viewership during its run. With the storyline effective wrapped up in the show's final episode, many already expected that it would not return.
  6. CBS has cancelled new comedy Bad Teacher. The mid-season series premiered just last month and has only aired three episodes. Ratings have been average thus far but clearly not at levels the network would like to see in its time slot.
  7. CBS has cancelled The Crazy Ones after one season. The Robin Williams comedy got off to a strong start when it premiered last September. Four weeks into its run it ranked as the season's #1 new comedy, causing the network to pick up the full season of the show. Things, however, got worse during the second half the season. Ratings started to dip, and by its finale fell to less than half of what it pulled in during its early episodes.
  8. NBC has renewed About a Boy for a second season. The freshman comedy has been enjoying a successful run since premiering in February after the Olympics. Adapted from the book and movie of the same name, About a Boy has been one of the network's best-rated comedies this season, airing along side other newbie Growing Up Fisher in the 9:00pm hour following The Voice.
  9. NBC has cancelled Believe after one season. The freshman drama premiered in March but failed to attract viewers in its Sunday night time slot. Nine of the show's 13 episodes have aired thus far, and it appears the remaining four will air as scheduled. The finale is currently scheduled for June 1.
  10. NBC has cancelled Revolution, opting to pull the plug on the sophomore series after two seasons. The show's Season 2 ratings have been lackluster, and far below its Season 1 numbers. Revolution got off to a strong start when it first premiered in 2012, debuting with a strong 4.1 rating in the adults 18-49 demo and staying at a 2.6 or above for the first half of the season. Viewership dipped for the back half but stayed at a respectable number to warrant a renewal. The show's second season has been a different story, with its premiere starting at a 1.8 and falling as low as 1.1 for its most-recent episode this past Wednesday. Revolution's series finale is scheduled to air on May 21.
  11. ABC has cancelled Trophy Wife after one season on the air. The freshman comedy premiered last September for a 22-episode run that will conclude next week. The show faltered in the ratings in its 9:30pm Tuesday time slot, where it aired following the just-renewed The Goldbergs, which drew significantly higher ratings.
  12. ABC has cancelled Suburgatory. The satirical comedy has been an average performer for the network over its three seasons. Though its most recent season had its episode order reduced to 13 and premiered midseason for the first time in its run. Suburgatory's series finale is set to air next Wednesday, May 14.
  13. NBC has cancelled Community, opting not to bring the show back for a sixth season. The news comes just one season after show creator Dan Harmon's return to the comedy. Harmon was brought back as showrunner in Season 5 after being ousted the season previous. The show aired a total of 97 episodes since its premiere in 2009. The series finale aired last month on April 17.
  14. NBC has renewed Hannibal for a third season. The Bryan Fuller series, which is concluding Season 2 later this month, has been a modest performer for the network on Friday nights. It will likely continue to air in the midseason as it has so far, with April and February premieres respectively. Though no details have been announced, another order of 13 episodes appears likely.
  15. NBC has cancelled Crisis after one season. Since its debut, the show has struggled with low ratings in its 10:00pm Sunday time slot. The action drama premiered in March for a 13-episode run. Eight of those episodes have aired thus far, leaving five remaining. The show's finale is currently scheduled for June 1.
  16. The CW has cancelled freshman series Star-Crossed after its first season. The sci-fi drama premiered this February for a 13-episode run, but low ratings failed to convince the network to pick the series up for another season. The series finale is scheduled to air this coming Monday, May 12.
  17. The CW has cancelled The Tomorrow People after its first season. The sci-fi drama aired a full 22-episodes, but its initially strong ratings fell throughout the course of the season. The show aired its finale this past Monday.
  18. It is being reported that The CW has renewed Hart of Dixie for a fourth season. The medical drama has been enjoying a successful run since its premiere in 2011, drawing fairly steady viewership year after year - though its numbers have dipped a little as of late. No details on Season 4 have been announced, but a return in the fall looks likely with another 22 episodes.
  19. It is being reported that The CW has renewed freshman series The 100 for a second season. The futuristic drama, which premiered in March, has been garnering strong ratings over its first eight episodes. The first season of The 100 is currently airing on Wednesday nights, with five episodes remaining until the finale on June 11.
  20. ABC has renewed Once Upon a Time for a fourth season. The fairy tale drama has continued to be a solid performer for the network in Season 3, which concludes this Sunday, May 11. The network tried spinning off the series this season with Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, but the show failed to catch on with audiences and will not be returning. Expect Season 4 of Once Upon a Time to return in the fall for the 2014-2015 season.
  21. ABC has renewed Castle for a seventh season. The long-running murder-mystery drama has remained a steady performer for the network through its six seasons, holding its own on Monday nights against tough competition. Look for Season 7 of Castle to return in September.
  22. ABC has renewed Scandal for a fourth season. The Shonda Rhimes-created political thriller continues to gain momentum, with its strong viewership making it one of the network's top shows. Scandal has been seeing ratings growth since its debut, which is somewhat of a rare occurrence in today's television landscape. In Season 3, ratings in the 18-49 demographic reached series-high levels. Look for Season 4 to premiere this fall.
  23. ABC has renewed Revenge for a fourth season. The drama has seen its ratings slip this season, but it continues to draw healthy viewership on Sunday nights, where it recently moved time slots from 9:00pm to 10:00pm. The current season's finale airs this Sunday. Look for Season 4 to premiere in the fall.
  24. ABC has renewed Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a second season. The freshman series will be airing its current season finale next Tuesday, capping a debut run that averaged decent, if unspectacular, ratings. Set in the same universe as popular Marvel franchises, the action drama has been able to tie in some of its storylines to major motion picture releases such as the recent Captain America sequel. Look for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to return in the fall.
  25. ABC has renewed Resurrection for a second season. The freshman drama, which premiered mid-season for a limited eight-episode run, was a hit out of the gate. The series drew a 3.8 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic for its premiere, besting all other shows that night. While its ratings have tapered off in recent airings, its viewership remained strong enough for the network to pick it up for another season. No details have been announced as to whether ABC will expand the episode order for Season 2.
