Ranking The Chances of Success of Reboots and Revivals Coming to Paramount Plus

 

Clarice Canceled by CBS and Moving to Paramount+

CBS is silencing Clarice, but Paramount+ isn't. The crime drama based on Silence of the Lambs has been canceled by its home network, but is moving to Paramount+. The show was the lowest-rated on CBS and has sunk as low as 0.2, but strong streaming numbers are apparently enough to justify a second season there. Its co-creator, Alex Kurtzman, is the man behind Paramount+'s Star Trek series, meaning he has a strong relationship with the streamer that likely also aided in Clarice's renewal. The show stars Rebecca Breeds, Kal Penn, Michael Cudlitz, Marnee Carpenter and Nick Sandow. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Thursday TV Ratings 5/6/21: Grey’s Anatomy Rises from Previous Preliminary Rating, Mom and B Positive Beat Young Sheldon and United States of Al, Rebel Ticks Up (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: ABC remained in relatively strong shape as both 'Station 19' (0.7) and 'Grey's Anatomy' (0.9) held even. Struggling newbie 'Rebel' (0.5) even gained a tenth in the 10pm slot. CBS had a rough night in comparison, with 'Young Sheldon' (0.5) losing two-tenths and 'United States of AI' (0.4) shedding a tenth. Prospects brightened at 9 as 'Mom' (0.6) rose a tenth for its penultimate episode and 'B Positive' (0.5) inched up as well. 'Clarice' was frozen at a 0.3 rating at 10. NBC's double-pump of 'Manifest' (0.5/0.5) matched last week and led into another 'SVU' encore (0.4). Fox's feeble comedy duo of 'Last Man Standing' (0.3) and 'Let's Be Real' (0.2) held onto their poor week-ago ratings. They were preceded by a rerun of 'Name That Tune' (0.3). 'Walker' (0.1) inched down on the CW but 'Legacies' (0.1) tied its previous installment. 

Finals Update: Station 19 (+0.1), Grey's Anatomy (+0.1), Young Sheldon (+0.1) and United States of Al (+0.1) adjusted up.
