Alert and The Cleaning Lady Canceled by Fox
It's a cruel summer on Fox, with the network canceling both of their Tuesday spring dramas today on the heels of their recent finales. Alert, which ended its third season last week, and The Cleaning Lady, which aired its season four finale this Tuesday, have both been canceled by Fox. The network delayed making decisions on the series at their upfronts last month, when most pickups and cancellations would typically be announced by, waiting to announce the bad news about both series until after their runs ended. Both series were among the lowest-rated shows on Fox - and all of broadcast TV, each averaging 0.13 in the key 18-49 demo this season. That's not far off from the previous seasons, when they were both given suprirrisng renewals in spite of their poor ratings. The factors that allowed them to survive last season weren't enough this time around. The Cleaning Lady's cancellation is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide, while Alert is a miss.

Summer Broadcast Renew/Cancel Week 2: The Great North, Raid the Cage, and The Great Summer Burnoff
All American Renewed for Final Season by CW
The last remaining scripted series from a bygone era of The CW is coming to an end in the near future. All American the football drama that premiered in 2018 and saw a massive cast overhaul for its recent seventh season, has been renewed for an eighth and final season by the CW. All American was one of four scripted series on the CW to survive the network's acquisition by Nexstar in 2022. Its spinoff, All American: Homecoming, and Walker were both canceled last season, while Superman & Lois aired its final season in late 2024. Ratings for the CW have fallen off a cliff in recent seasons, with All American averaging just 0.05 this season - enough to be the network's #3 scripted series. The series only entered negotiations for an eighth season within the last month or so, which prompted the announcement to be delayed past the traditional May timeline for renewals. The final season will run for thirteen episodes, the same number as its seventh season, set to air in 2026. This is a miss for The TV Ratings Guide, which had listed the series as "leans cancellation" in our most recent CW Renew/Cancel column.
