Below are the March 29th renew/cancel predictions for the Fox network in the 2024-25 television season. The numbers listed in the table are the Nielsen rating low, average, and high for each respective program in the Adults 18-49 demographic. The "Y2Y (year-to-year) Change" column compares a show's current average to its average from the previous season.
Alert: Missing Persons Unit: In 2024, Alert: Missing Persons Unit was one of the weakest shows on broadcast television, finishing out its sophomore season with an abysmal 0.11 rating in the Adults 18-49 demographic. In 2025, Fox's stock has dropped enough that Alert no longer stands out as some low-rated outlier. On premiere night, the procedural drama posted a 0.17 rating and built on its Cleaning Lady lead-in. Considering where it left off, this is a relatively fine start for the series. Its performance on Hulu was also noticeably better than The Cleaning Lady this week, meaning it has an edge over its lead-in in both live ratings and streaming. Though it hardly earned a renewal last season, it has clearly leveled up to some degree. Because of these factors, Alert is Likely to be Renewed. This show comes with a low cost, and this network clearly need something to plug into a low-priority time slot during the back-half of the season. Fox will gladly take it.
The Cleaning Lady: In its season four premiere, The Cleaning Lady returned with a 0.15 Adults 18-49 rating, dropping 25% from last year's start. This becomes even worse when looking at the half-hour breakdown, as the series dipped all the way to a measly 0.12 by 8:30 (Programming Insider). On the streaming front, the crime drama only appeared in the Hulu top 15 once this week, whereas Alert made two appearances and charted higher. Though it cannot be considered completely dead on a network like Fox, it does feel like this may be the end of the road. Fox already has Doc and Murder in a Small Town for next season, and they are likely to pick up at least one or two new dramas. As a result, The Cleaning Lady is Likely to be Canceled. If Fox is going to keep one of these dramas around, it will most likely be Alert. The Cleaning Lady just doesn't have the ratings prowess or streaming presence to stick around.
Fox Renew/Cancel March Madness continues!
Round 1 voting is officially over for FOX Renew/Cancel March Madness. One major theme in this round was that the new-generation cartoons got completely obliterated. In their respective match-ups, The Great North and Universal Basic Guys each received a little more than 30% of the vote, with neither gaining enough support to advance to the next round. Things were even worse for Krapopolis and Grimsburg, as they took in just 15% and 13% respectively. The legacy cartoons fared much better. Family Guy, of course, completely demolished Krapopolis, taking in almost 85% of the vote. The Simpsons comfortably beat out its Cleaning Lady challenger, garnering 57%. And Bob's Burgers just barely scraped by, retaining just under 52% in a heated match with Accused.
With that said, round 2 voting is now under way! Make sure to vote for your favorite shows to ensure that they advance to the semi-finals. Polls will close on Saturday, April 5, 2025.
