Fear The Walking Dead: Not much needs to be said here. It's down a decent amount, but is still one of the better cable performers on the air right now. Its 0.52 average is higher than anything else on AMC, and that's enough to make it a CERTAIN RENEWAL.
NOS4A2: AMC's newest series is no big hit. However, it's still a pretty solid performer. Even though it has Fear The Walking Dead as its lead-in, its 0.25 average is relatively impressive. Sure, it's still posting less than 50% retention, but at this point, just about any cable network is going to be happy to renew a show performing at that level. Looking at some of AMC's previous renewals, Preacher, The Terror, and Lodge 49 were all renewed at or below the level NOS4A2 is performing at. It's not as safe as FTWD, but it's still a LIKELY RENEWAL.
Humans: Since our last update, this low-rated third-season sci-fi drama was canceled in its native United Kingdom. While the show was probably cheap since it was a foreign import, AMC is probably glad to be rid of it, at least based on their treatment of it during the final season. This is a correct prediction.

Baskets: It's hard to predict what FX will do with their comedies sometimes, because their ratings are just so low. However, they are all acclaimed by critics and almost all of them have received Emmys attention, which FX seems to value. Working in favor of Baskets is that Louie Anderson has consistently been nominated for his role. Working heavily against it is that it's only averaging a 0.1 this season. A 0.1 should be a pretty clear cancel, but for a long-running veteran that has reliably earned Emmy attention, I don't expect a cancellation. It's not like the show was that stronger last season, so I think it can get a fifth season if the creative teams wants it. It LEANS RENEWAL for now.
What We Do In The Shadows: FX renewed this vampire comedy for a second season. It had strong critical support over the season and posted decent ratings, better than the other FX comedies. It was a correct prediction.
Pose: Even before I could release a prediction for it, FX renewed their critically acclaimed period drama for a third season. The show has been a decent performer this season and isn't down much at all. Coupled with the acclaim from critics and it was a pretty easy renewal choice.

Queen of the South: It's been one of Summer's quietest success stories, but Queen of the South has certainly been a very reliable player for USA. It's a bit weaker this season, down 22% to a 0.29 average, but that still puts it ahead of most of USA's scripted content. Only The Purge has been noticeably stronger in L+SD ratings. Fans have no need to worry, Queen of the South is a CERTAIN RENEWAL.
Growing Up Chrisley: Since our last update, USA renewed this reality show for another season. This was a correct prediction.
