Home Economics Canceled After Three Seasons, High Potential Pushed To Next Season

ABC is foreclosing on Home Economics, canceling the series after three seasons. The series saw a small ratings bump this season, rising a single percent to a 0.35 18-49 average, but that rise was not enough considering its strong lead-in, ABC's buzzy new hit Abbott Elementary. Its streaming performance was also among the weakest of any ABC series this season. The third season ran for only thirteen episodes, leaving the schedule midseason to make room for Not Dead Yet. Also working as a potential roadblock was the fact that ABC doesn't fully own the series, only co-producing it alongside Lionsgate. Topher Grace, Caitlin McGee, Jimmy Tatro, Karla Souza and Sasheer Zamata star in the series, which aired its series finale on January 18th after a 42-episode run. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Additionally, upcoming new drama High Potential has been delayed to fall 2024 due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. It was originally ordered to air in the 2023-24 TV season.
