The Twilight Zone

As you can see, The Twilight Zone is very high up the list for a canceled show. In actuality, co-developers Simon Kinberg and Jordan Peele said in a statement that it was their decision for the show to wrap; it was also reported that Viacom intended to go forward with a third season. The TV Ratings Guide previously predicted that The Twilight Zone would be renewed; based on the ratings, it appears that is where the show’s fate was headed. 


Star Trek: Short Treks

One of many Star Trek installments on CBS All Access, The TV Ratings Guide predicted a renewal in its previous CBS All Access Renew/Cancel column. It is being downgraded to a predicted cancelation due to having no mention at Viacom’s event for Paramount Plus. Instead, Viacom announced two new Star Trek series. While they are actively expanding their slate of Star Trek programming, giving Short Treks the standard five or six episodes it received for the first two seasons wouldn’t seem like a big deal if they had an intention on renewing it. 


Coyote

No prediction can be made on Coyote due to the limited information available on it. A renewal at the Paramount Plus event would have been a welcome sign for it, but Viacom could easily just be waiting to see how much interest it garners with the relaunch.
