NBC Renew/Cancel 2019-20 Wrap Up: A Look at the Hits and Misses

 
NBC has finally made their final renewal decision of the 2019-20 season, with the cancellation of Council of Dads coming earlier today. That means it's time for my 2019-20 season Renew/Cancel wrap-up. It was a long season, with final decisions arriving nearly two months later than usual, but it's finally over. Keep reading to see what my record for the season is, and read my thoughts on the season that was. Below is my full chart of predictions for the season, with every show placed exactly where I last left them before their fates were decided.

Lincoln Rhyme Canceled

This season's only new Friday series has been canceled. NBC's crime drama Lincoln Rhyme had a respectable performance for its inaugural season, but the Sony/Universal co-production didn't do enough to earn a renewal. NBC debuted the series in early January as a midseason placeholder for The Blacklist. It had a surprisingly solid 0.6 start before eventually settling in the 0.4 range. It perked up near the end of the season and tied its series premiere rating for the first half of its two episode finale, ultimately averaging 0.47. Season one was based on the book The Bone Collector, from Jeffrey Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series. It's presumed that future seasons would have followed different books in that series. Russell Hornsby stars as the titular character, alongside Arielle Kebbel, Michael Imperioli, Brooke Lyons and Roslyn Ruff. This was a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
