The Detour: Even though it's still a pretty solid performer, I think The Detour could be in some danger this season. It's down a decent amount, and TBS has axed quite a few similar performers lately. They also are moving away from their comedy-exclusive strategy, with dramas now airing on the network starting next year. I don't know exactly what TBS is using to decide renewals, so it's hard to actually predict what will return and what will go, but I'll give The Detour a benefit of the doubt and put it in the LEANS RENEWAL category for now.

Miracle Workers and The Last OG: Before we were able to post an update, TBS renewed both of these comedies for additional seasons.

Angie Tribeca: Since our last update, this veteran comedy was canceled following its December burnoff. That was a correct prediction.

At Home With Amy Sedaris, Tacoma FD, The Carbonaro Effect, I'm Sorry: All four shows were announced as renewed since our last update. Tacoma FD was renewed before we got a prediction in, while Carbonaro Effect and I'm Sorry were both correct predictions and At Home was an incorrect one. These announcements don't impact the predictions for any other TruTV show.

Renewed for Final Season

Alternatino with Arturo Castro: It's only been two weeks, but this new show is already off to a pretty weak start with a 0.11 average. And yet, I'm still marking it down as LEANING RENEWAL. Why? Comedy Central is known recently for giving its shows at least a second season, which gives them an opportunity to improve in L+SD ratings and grow fanbases that view the shows through alternative platforms. It's not a rule, and it certainly can be broken, but as of now, I think the show will be back.

Corporate: Comedy Central renewed this low-rated show for a third and final season earlier this month, a correct prediction.
