The CW’s Old Shows Are Still Being Helped By Netflix

Dynasty Canceled by The CW

Dynasty has fought its last catfight. The soap opera has been canceled by The CW after five seasons. The news comes after. a historically low-rated season in which Dynasty averaged just 0.04 in the 18-49 demo, making it the lowest-rated scripted series on broadcast television. Its Netflix deal was able to get it this far, but was unable to save it as The CW prepares for a sale. Elizabeth Gillies, Robert Christopher Riley, Sam Adegoke, Grant Show, Daniella Alonso, and Elaine Hendrix starred in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

CW Renew/Cancel: CW Renews Everything, No Wrong Predictions

Welcome to the CW Renew/Cancel column, and big news happened.

Show	Prediction
All American	Renewed
Batwoman	Renewed
Black Lightning	Renewed
Dynasty	Renewed
In the Dark	Renewed
Legacies	Renewed
Riverdale	Renewed
Supergirl	Renewed
The Flash	Renewed
Charmed	Renewed
Nancy Drew	Renewed
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow	Renewed
Roswell, New Mexico	Renewed
Katy Keene	Premiering February 6
Arrow	Final Season
Supernatural	Final Season
The 100	Final Season

As predicted, the CW pretty much renewed all non-final seasoned current shows on the air, except for Katy Keene. No incorrect predictions were made so far this season. Legends of Tomorrow, In the Dark, and Roswell, New Mexico were also renewed. I didn't give them a prediction simply because they have not premiered new seasons yet. Overall, the current record for the CW is 10-0.

Simply put, the current speculation for renewals has something to do with the potential for a possible writer's strike that would possibly affect next season. Currently, the WGA has been in legal disputes with multiple talent agencies over its Code of Conduct. The current deal with the AMPTP is set to expire on May 1. That's expected to continue through next year.

CW Renew/Cancel: All American is Certain to be Renewed, Let’s Thank Netflix and Local Programming

Welcome to the CW Renew/Cancel Watch, and it is week 1 for the CW. Changes are on the horizon, and it's mostly good news for the CW shows. Here's the table for this week.

Show	Prediction
All American	Certain Renewal
Black Lightning	Certain Renewal
Dynasty	Certain Renewal
Riverdale	Certain Renewal
Supergirl	Certain Renewal
The Flash	Certain Renewal
Batwoman	Likely Renewal
Charmed	Likely Renewal
Legacies	Likely Renewal
Nancy Drew	Likely Renewal
Arrow	Final Season
Supernatural	Final Season
The 100	Final Season

All American: All American returned to a 0.3 in the A18-49 demo on Monday night after a timeslot change from Wednesday 9pm to Monday 8pm. It even skewed younger than its last season one episodes. The A18-34 rating for All American was also at a 0.3, compared to a 0.1 for the later episodes. This is good news for the show, which likely leads it in the middle of the CW pack. Because the average is now at 0.3, it does not seem bad. Don't expect All American to get canceled any time soon this season. All American is certain to be renewed. You can thank Netflix and local programming for getting it to its current series high.

Batwoman: Starting out as an 8pm show benefitted Batwoman ratings as it started at a 0.5 in the key demo. It was apparently heavily rounded, even as it grew in the half hours. It may likely fall in the ratings in the coming weeks, but I think this is not going to affect the show much. It will start as likely to be renewed.

Nancy Drew: The newest occupant of the Wednesday 9pm timeslot scored a 0.3, after a 0.4 from Riverdale. Historically adjusted, it did better than both Dynasty, Life Sentence, and to a small extent, All American. Considering this is a CBS produced show, the renewal ratings bar is lower than the WB shows. It easily clears that. Nancy Drew is likely to be renewed.

Dynasty: Like I said in the preseason post, Dynasty is in its third season. Regardless of ratings, third season shows get renewed for a fourth season. Dynasty is safe, even if it hits the coveted Blutarsky (0.0) this season. Dynasty is certain to be renewed.

Legacies: The show will have 20 episodes this season, to finish around the same time as Supernatural. It started at essentially the same premiere rating as season 1, which in today's ratings landscape is pretty good. Will it remain steady through the fall? I think it will. Legacies is likely to be renewed.

Charmed: The CW has not canceled a second season Friday bound show since The Carrie Diaries. Charmed is produced by CBS, which essentially makes ratings irrelevant. There's virtually no way Charmed is getting canceled this season, regardless of what Holly Marie Combs tweets about the show. I say, let the anti-fan bashing continue for another season. Charmed is likely to be renewed.

CW Renew/Cancel: Once Again, iZombie is Likely to be Renewed

Welcome to the CW Renew/Cancel Watch. In this installment, I have the prediction for iZombie, plus a downgrade for, you guessed it, Dynasty. Here are the predictions as of March 2, 2018.

Final Season	Certain to be Canceled	Likely to be Canceled	Watching	Likely to be Renewed	Certain to be Renewed
The Originals	Valor		Dynasty	Arrow	Crazy Ex- Girlfriend
				iZombie	Black Lightning
				Jane the Virgin	DC’s Legends of Tomorrow
					Riverdale
					Supergirl
					Supernatural
					The Flash

iZombie: In this installment, this show is in the headline. Despite the fact that the show premiered at the same premiere rating as Valor, this show is likely to be renewed. Why? You might ask. Episode count matters in this case. Last season, The 100 was in a similar situation and got renewed. iZombie will only have 58 episodes at the end of its current season, which is the fourth season. In the Pedowitz era, no CW show in recent history has been canceled with less than 70 episodes. Also, the CW is expanding to Sunday nights next season, which means more shows will air. For these reasons, iZombie is likely to be renewed.

Dynasty: Abysmally rated Dynasty has been downgraded once again. This season, the most polarizing prediction has been this show. I've had it at likely to be canceled and then at likely to be renewed. This week, it's moving down to a toss up. It's moving to Fridays starting next week and usually a Friday move equals cancelation. But the Sunday expansion gives us pause, and something has got to air. Until we see ratings for the Friday episodes, we'll leave it in the Watching column for now.

This concludes a rushed CW Renew/Cancel. Stay tuned for more prediction updates.
