The 2023-24 season is a wrap, with ABC making its final decisions and launching its fall schedule since our last renew/cancel. This week, I take a look back on the season that was, after a short, strike-impacted year of programming.
Not Dead Yet now just dead. ABC has canceled the low-rated sitcom after two short seasons. The series was the final scripted show on ABC still awaiting a renewal decision this season. Not Dead Yet was ABC's lowest-rated comedy by a significant margin this season, with just a 0.25 average, and was their second-lowest-rated show overall, only surpassing The Good Doctor, which has also been canceled. The news comes as ABC prepares to end veteran sitcom The Conners next season, meaning that, barring unexpected scheduling for the final season of The Conners, Abbott Elementary will be the network's only veteran sitcom as they head into 2025. Over its two seasons, Not Dead Yet aired twenty-three episodes, airing its series finale on April 24. Gina Rodriguez, Hannah Simone, Lauren Ash, Angela E. Gibbs and Brad Garrett star in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
Well, the end of the season is here. There's little excitement on the ABC front, though, as nearly everything has already been renewed or canceled. Only sophomore sitcom Not Dead Yet remains in limbo, so keep reading to see my final call on that single lingering show.
