Cable Renew/Cancel - AMC, FX & USA: Getting Renewed In The Shadows

There hasn't been much action at AMC, FX or USA in recent months, but all of the networks have at least a few shows with their fates hanging in the balance. Stay tuned for initial predictions for new comedy What We Do In the Shadows, plus updates to Real Country, Into the Badlands, Trust and more!

AMC:

Show	Status
Talking Dead	Certain Renewal
Humans	Likely Cancellation
Ride with Norman Reedus	Renewed
The Walking Dead	Renewed, Returning In 2019
The Terror	Renewed, Returning In 2019
McMafia	Renewed, Returning TBA
Lodge 49	Renewed, Returning TBA
Fear the Walking Dead	Renewed, Returning In June
Better Call Saul	Renewed, Returning In 2020
Preacher	Renewed, Returning TBA
Into the Badlands	Canceled
The Son	Canceled Before Airing Season 2
The Little Drummer Girl	Miniseries
Eli Roth’s History of Horror	Miniseries
NOS4A2	Premieres In June

Into the Badlands: In my last update, I was cautiously hopeful that Into the Badlands could make it to a fourth season. However, before we even got a chance to see the ratings for the second half of the season, AMC pulled the plug (also cancelling The Son in one fell swoop). This one is a miss for me.

FX:

Show	Status
What We Do In the Shadows	Certain Renewal
Trust	Certain Cancellation
Snowfall	Renewed, Returning TBA
Pose	Renewed, Returning 2019
Mayans MC	Renewed, Returning TBA
Taboo	Renewed, Returning TBA
Baskets	Renewed, Returning TBA
Atlanta	Renewed, Returning 2019
Mr. Inbetween	Renewed, Returning TBA
American Horror Story	Renewed, Returning 2019
Fargo	Renewed, Returning 2020
American Crime Story	Renewed, Returning TBA
Legion	Final Season In June 2019
Better Things	Renewed
Feud	In Limbo
Fosse/Verdon	Premieres In April 2019
Devs	Premieres 2019
Mrs. America	Premieres 2019

What We Do In The Shadows: I certainly didn't expect to be saying this ahead of its premiere, but this vampire comedy has turned out to be a solid performer for FX. Even if it's not on the level of American Horror Story or Atlanta, it's doing better than other acclaimed FX fare like Baskets or Better Things, which are both renewed for fourth seasons. While the 0.21 start was just average, WWDITS impressed me with its nice week two uptick to 0.27, bringing the average to 0.27. I was going to start this show in a lower renewal category, but I'm extremely confident that it will be back, and I'm starting it as a CERTAIN RENEWAL.

USA:

Show	Status
Growing Up Chrisley	Likely Renewal
The Cromarties	Likely Renewal
American Ninja Warrior: Ninja vs. Ninja	Leans Renewal
Unsolved	Likely Cancellation
Real Country	Certain Cancellation
Big Star Little Star	Certain Cancellation
Mr. Robot	Ending in 2019
Queen of the South	Renewed, Returning TBA
The Purge	Renewed, Returning TBA
Chrisley Knows Best	Renewed, Returning TBA
The Sinner	Renewed, Returning TBA
Temptation Island	Renewed, Returning TBA
Suits	Renewed for Final Season
Miz & Mrs.	Renewed
Pearson	Coming In Summer 2019
The Radkes	Coming In June 2019

Real Country: I spoke about this show in my previous update, and I mentioned how much of an underdog it is for renewal. I didn't put it as a certain cancellation since it avoided the Friday burnoff treatment that Damnation got a year before, but I still see no chance at a second season for this show. I'm downgrading it to a CERTAIN CANCELLATION.
