With last week's decisions on All American: Homecoming, Gotham Knights, and Superman & Lois, the CW has finally decided the fates of all of their produced scripted originals, over a month after decision would traditionally be finalized. It was a season of many broken traditions, particularly for The CW, which will see very few of their existing shows making returns next year.

The CW has given the chop to Kung Fu, canceling the show after three seasons. The martial arts drama was a middling performer for The CW, with only a 0.07 season average, placing it towards the bottom of The CW's scripted lineup. With so few shows surviving to next season on The CW, Kung Fu's low ratings and lack of a streaming presence made it one of the easier cuts for the network to make as it prepares to slash its current programing slate. Olivia Liang, Kheng Hua Tan, Eddie Liu, Shannon Dang and Yvonne Chapman starred in the series over its 39-episode run. The series finale aired March 8. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
