Nancy Drew is in the headline this week, because it hit a 0.2 in the A18-49 demographic. Guess what, so did All American, Black Lightning, Riverdale, and Legacies. Outside of Supernatural, Arrow, Batwoman, Supergirl, and The Flash, no other CW show went above 0.2 in the key demographic Sunday-Thursday this week. Riverdale, Nancy Drew's lead in, as I mentioned before, hit a 0.2 this week. You can't blame Nancy Drew for not going any higher than that. Plus it's a CBS show. It's more likely to be the next candidate for a move to Friday night than get canceled and it is possible that Friday is lower than Nancy Drew would be this week. CW has bigger fish to fry than Nancy Drew at this point. Also, think of what a stacked season on the CW website can do for its bottom line, plus a summer streaming run on CBS All Access. The potential profits will likely maximize whatever low ratings the show gets. Nancy Drew is still likely to be renewed.
As for the rest of the shows that hit a 0.2, we may reevaluate come November sweeps, but right now, we don't have a clear picture on renewal or cancelation right now, unlike with the rest of the networks. I expect the CW to renew everything on this list that does not have an announced final season, but that could change when midseason comes.
