Cable Renew/Cancel - Children Networks: Bug Juice’s Adventures Will Probably Be Cut Short

It's time for a brand new Children Networks renew/cancel! We've seen some premieres since our last update, and there's been some renewal and cancellation news! Stay tuned for updates and analysis!

Disney Channel:

Show	Status
Raven’s Home	Certain Renewal
Hotel Transylvania: The Series	Leans Cancellation
Bug Juice: My Adventures At Camp	Leans Cancellation
Bizaardvark	Likely Cancellation
Bunk’d	Final Season
Tangled: The Series	Renewed
Mickey Mouse	Renewed
Andi Mack	Renewed
DuckTales	Renewed
Big Hero 6: The Series	Renewed
Elena of Avalor	Renewed
Big City Greens	Renewed
Stuck In the Middle	Canceled

Bug Juice: My Adventures at Camp: Ratings for this reboot's premiere aren't available, but the numbers for its other three episodes are in, and they are... not great. Sure, Disney Channel isn't exactly lighting up the charts right now, but Bug Juice is still the lowest-rated show on the network right now. Considering the publicity it received, it really should be doing better than this. Like, a lot better. I don't see these camp adventures continuing, and it LEANS CANCELLATION.

Bizaardvark: Yes, I know that Bizaardvark has yet to return for its third season. However, Disney Channel frequently cancels its shows after three seasons. Look at KC Undercover and Stuck In the Middle as recent examples of this. While there probably will be a show that will eventually buck this trend, that show probably won't be Bizaardvark, which was frequently the lowest-rated part of the old Friday lineup. It starts as a LIKELY CANCELLATION, but it may be upgraded if it over-performs.

Disney Junior:

Mission Force One	Leans Renewal
Muppet Babies	Leans Renewal
Sofia the First	Leans Renewal
Doc McStuffins	Renewed
The Lion Guard	Renewed
Vampirina	Renewed
Mickey & the Roadster Racers	Renewed
Fancy Nancy	Renewed
Puppy Dog Pals	Renewed
Goldie & Bear	Canceled

Mission Force One: It's been a pretty long time since this series last aired, and there's been very little news about it. I still don't think it's getting canceled, but the odds of a renewal seem lower since then. It's in a pretty similar situation as Sofia the First, which means that I'm downgrading it to LEANS RENEWAL.

Goldie & Bear: This fairy tale series was canceled since the last renew/cancel column. This was an incorrect prediction, as the series was marked as a likely renewal.

Nickelodeon:

Show	Status
Power Rangers Ninja Steel	Certain Renewal
Double Dare	Likely Renewal
Paradise Run	Likely Renewal
Hunter Street	Likely Renewal
The Adventures of Kid Danger	Likely Renewal
Keep It Spotless	Leans Cancellation
Knight Squad	Leans Cancellation

I Am Frankie	Renewed
Welcome to the Wayne	Renewed
The Loud House	Renewed
Henry Danger	Renewed
SpongeBob SquarePants	Renewed
Game Shakers	Canceled
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn	Canceled

Double Dare: Though this high-profile revival started huge, it's since come way down to Earth. It's still one of Nick's highest-rated shows, but the amount of slippage in just a few weeks time is a bit worrying. It's probably still safe, but I'm not 100% sure that it'll be renewed anymore. For that reason, it's been downgraded to a LIKELY RENEWAL, still making it one of the network's safest shows.

Mighty Magiswords	Leans Cancellation

Adventure Time	Final Season

Steven Universe: This long-running and beloved show recently returned with a string of episodes that drew very solid ratings, higher ones than it had been doing before it went on break. While it looked pretty safe before, there's no question now that it will be back. It's been upgraded to a CERTAIN RENEWAL.

Summer Camp Island: Cartoon Network's newest show, Summer Camp Island had a pretty unusual airing schedule, airing all twenty episodes of its first season in a five-hour marathon on a Saturday AM. It didn't do great, going as low as 0.12, but it also didn't do awful, as it had some datapoints in the 0.2s range. This is pretty acceptable for a Saturday morning, and I have no reason to believe CN expected more from this. This one starts off as a LIKELY RENEWAL.

Cable Renew/Cancel - Children Networks: Puppy Dog Pals Is a Lock for Season Two

The Children Networks Renew/Cancel returns, and Disney Junior joins as a predicted network. A lot has been going on recently in the world of kids TV, so keep reading for my initial predictions for a whole slew of shows on Disney Channel, Disney Junior, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network.

Disney Channel:

Show	Status
Raven’s Home	Certain Renewal
Bizaardvark	Leans Renewal
Hotel Transylvania: The Series	Leans Cancellation
Bunk’d	Final Season
Tangled: The Series	Renewed
Mickey Mouse	Renewed
Andi Mack	Renewed
DuckTales	Renewed
Big Hero 6: The Series	Renewed
Elena of Avalor	Renewed
Big City Greens	Renewed
Stuck In the Middle	Canceled

Raven's Home: Despite a sharp drop in the ratings this season (partially due to some wonky scheduling by its network), Raven's Home is still one of Disney Channel's highest-rated shows. While it's not a hit anymore, it still does more-than-fine. It's a CERTAIN RENEWAL.

Hotel Transylvania: The Series: The TV adaptation of the hit movie franchise has not been a hit for Disney Channel, but it has done OK. It could definitely be doing better, though, as its most recent episodes were in the low 0.1s range with 0.70-0.80 million viewers. There's also the fact that a large batch of episodes were released on Netflix this week, even though some of those episodes never aired on Disney Channel. This isn't the treatment a renewed show is usually given, so it's LEANING CANCELLATION. I wouldn't be surprised to see it return on Disney, or even as a Netflix exclusive, but I'm not betting on it.

Disney Junior:

Muppet Babies	Leans Renewal
Sofia the First	Leans Renewal
Doc McStuffins	Renewed
The Lion Guard	Renewed
Vampirina	Renewed
Mickey & the Roadster Racers	Renewed
Fancy Nancy	Renewed

Puppy Dog Pals: This series enjoys high rating, higher than most of Disney Channel's live-action morning programs. Fans of the series have nothing to worry about with these ratings, and the morning cartoon is a sure thing. It starts off as a CERTAIN RENEWAL.

Muppet Babies: This high-profile reboot had a nice start, but has tapered off in recent weeks. It's had some really weak datapoints, and it's now near the botton of the Disney/Disney Junior slate. That doesn't mean that I think it's a goner, though. I still think it'll be back, but I'm going to be conservative about this and mark is as LEANING CANCELLATION.

Double Dare: Nickelodeon's revival of the iconic game show got off to an amazing start on Monday, with a 0.55 and 1.8 million viewers. It's cooled down since then, but it's still hovering around a 0.3. This means that it's one of the network's highest-rated shows. Even if it falls a bit more, that's still good enough, and it's a CERTAIN RENEWAL.

Hunter Street: Season two of this adventure series didn't really light the ratings world on fire, frequently scoring between 0.15 and 0.2, it was an acceptable performer. These aren't numbers that make it anything close to a slam dunk for a renewal, though. Nickelodeon very well could decide that they can do better with a new show. Also adding some uncertainty is the amount of time since the show has aired, as it wrapped in February. At this point I still expect it to return, but I'm not certain of a renewal in any way. It only LEANS RENEWAL at this point, and that categorization probably won't get any more positive in the future.

Unikitty!: A TV spinoff of the LEGO Movie, Unikitty hasn't really made any waves on Cartoon Network. It never has really been a hit, performing just-okay for basically all of its run. Its ratings recently have been pretty unimpressive, but I still wouldn't describe it as a poor performer. It's just... there. Cartoon Network could easily part with it, but at this point, I don't think they will. It's currently LEANING RENEWAL.

The Powerpuff Girls: A veteran member of the cartoon Network lineup, The Powerpuff Girls has been a low performer for awhile now. While ratings started out solid, things have gotten downright ugly. The show's move to Saturday certainly hasn't helped matters, and it just shows a lack in confidence in the show. I find it hard to believe that the show will return, so I'm marking it as a LIKELY CANCELLATION.
