FOX
On the bubble front, the network has only renewed three rookie dramas and Empire and still has decisions to make on Gotham (looking good), Lucifer (unlikely), Lethal Weapon (a stretch) and Star,with the latter appearing likely to return.
New Girl is signing off this season and all eyes have turned to Universal Television's Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which has been leaning toward a renewal. Rookie L.A. to Vegas and sophomore comedy The Mick could also come back. Ghosted — starring Adam Scott and Craig Robinson — is likely done and Will Forte's Last Man on Earth may also be taking its last steps.
NBC
On the bubble side, midseason plays Good Girls and Rise could both go either way. James Spader has two years left on his Blacklist deal, with the Sony drama expected to return and possibly be packaged with L.A.'s Finest, which also hails from the independent studio. Blindspot is still in contention as well.
A.P. Bio has fans within the network; Champions is considered unlikely and it's too close to call for the Tina Fey-produced Great News, which became part of the critical conversation in its second season.
CBS
On the bubble side, Criminal Mindscould work another 11th hour pickup and there's been talk of the same for Alan Cumming drama Instinct. The same can't be said for Monday staple Scorpion or pricey Elementary, with the latter having to renegotiate contracts for its stars should it earn a surprising pickup.
bubble comedies Man With a Plan and Kevin Can Wait both expected back thanks in part to their big-name stars in Matt LeBlanc and Kevin James, respectively. Life in Pieces, from 20th TV (and likely soon Disney) and Superior Donuts are too close to tell.
ABC
On the bubble side, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD could rely on corporate synergy to score a sixth season; Designated Survivor will continue to survive; Shondaland's How to Get Away With Murder and Grey's spinoff Station 19 are also likely to return given Rhimes' move to Netflix; and it's too soon to tell on Quantico, though strong international appeal and a lucrative Netflix pact could make it an easy case for another short order. Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, Deception and For the People seem less likely.
On the bubble side, Speechless — which could become owned in-house — is expected to return, as is American Housewife and maybe midseason play Splitting Up Together. Fresh Off the Boatmay continue, especially if showrunner Nahnatchka Khan's Greatest American Hero is passed over. Alex Inc.seems unlikely to continue, sources say.
The CW
On the bubble side, The 100 and iZombie are too close to call, while Life Sentence and Valor are not expected back.
