Below are the April 19th 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.
All things considered, Krapopolis has had a relatively quiet sophomore season. After being gifted with direct NFL inflation over and over again in fall 2023, the show was demoted to 9:30 in fall 2024, the slot furthest away from The OT. This is precisely why it has the harshest year-to-year decline of the Fox cartoons; as it has largely had to fend for itself in a low-priority half-hour. Its fortunes improved a bit this past week, as Fox decided to promote it to the 9 p.m. time slot, a move that came at the expense of The Great North. And yet, Krapopolis hardly took advantage of this shift. Yes, the series did improve, rising to a 0.14 rating in the Adults 18-49 demographic, but it noticeably trailed its Family Guy lead-in (0.21). A 0.14 is a rating it managed at 9:30 with a much weaker Great North lead-in, so it seems to have barely benefited from this time slot upgrade.
Though Krapopolis will be in repeat-mode on Sunday, April 20th and April 27th, Fox has opted to air an original installment of the Greek mythology sitcom on Wednesday, April 30th. The program will have a a new episode of The Masked Singer leading into it and fellow cartoon Grimsburg as its lead-out. Though it is unknown why Fox is suddenly placing the series in an unfamiliar new setting, this could potentially give the animated comedy a much-needed boost. The latest episode of The Masked Singer posted a 0.42 Adults 18-49 rating, a number double that of Krap's current lead-in. If Krap were to retain even half of this lead-in, it could jump to its highest rating in months.
For now, it is unclear if this is a trial run or if Fox will be airing new episodes of Krapopolis on Wednesday nights permanently. They may be testing the waters to see if they can move the series away from the Sunday block in fall 2025. Or, maybe they are truly looking for a place to dump what's left of the show's order. Since it has yet to dip into its fourth production cycle, it is the former that appears more likely.
Fox Renew/Cancel March Madness Wrap-up!
The FOX Renew/Cancel March Madness tournament is officially over. In the final round, Rescue: HI-Surf easily defeated 9-1-1: Lone Star, making it the winner of this match-up. Though HI-Surf had a relatively soft showing in the semi-finals, its devoted fanbase pushed it to its best performance yet this time around. Lone Star also had a career high, but its numbers were not strong enough to propel it to victory. Congratulations to Rescue: HI-Surf for becoming the FOX Renew/Cancel March Madness champion of 2025!
