Once Upon A Time, Gotham, Quantico, Agents of SHIELD … all these series in danger of cancellation!

sivertime — Sun, 07 May 2017 20:03:43 +0000

We take stock of the series that oscillate between renewal and cancellation and whose current season may very well be the last.
A week from the beginning of the 2017 upfronts, it is time to take stock of the series that are, as they say in the United States, “in the bubble” . These are the shows of the network channels that have not yet been renewed and whose fate remains totally uncertain . If, in general, it is sometimes possible to predict fairly easily through the hearings which series will be renewed, some are exceptional. Whether thanks to their critical success, a devoted fanbase or simply a show that is close to the heart of the chain, chains can sometimes afford to keep series with weak audiences.
ABC
On the ABC channel, there are four shows whose renewal is still uncertain: American Crime, Agents of SHIELD, Once Upon A Time and Quantico . As for the first, it has always been widely acclaimed by critics. Between his 13 Emmy nominations, including two trophies won, it is certain that the series is important for the chain. On the other hand, it also the series with the worst hearings of ABC. As far as Agents of SHIELD is concerned , it is the arrival of the new series The Inhumans that could harm him. Will ABC keep two shows Marvel knowing they are expensive to produce?
Once Upon A Time has always been ABC’s pillar on Sunday night but recently this pillar is falling apart. His audiences have never been so low and the contracts of the actors come to an end at the end of the season. Maybe a reboot of the series, with a new cast that would cost less to the chain would then be the solution for ABC to keep the series and that it offers a real renewal to its fans. Knowing that ABC is part of the same group as Disney, the series has several reasons to want to keep Once Upon A Time in its programs. Lastly, Quantico is also in the hot seat despite a slight rise in hearings since it passed on Monday evening.
CBS
This is the channel that has the most “in the bubble” series with 2 Broke Girls, Black Code, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, Elementary and The Great Indoors. 2 Broke Girls is in its sixth season on CBS and if it has served much in the chain, its audiences keep tumbling down and the series could start to cost the chain a lot. The channel has already renewed 16 of its series and 2 Broke Girls was not part of it, is this a sign? The question also arises for the following series. If the arrival of Rob Lowe in season 2 of Code Black gave a new breath to the series, it was not enough to raise the hearings. As for Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders , in addition to having disappointing hearings for the channel, it also inherited the title of worst series in 2016, by Metacritic. The spin-offs of Criminal Minds are definitely struggling to find their audience.
The big advantage that Elementary has to hope for a new season is the fact that the series belongs to the chain. Besides that the show works very well internationally, which is always a plus . Unfortunately, Elementary does not work as well in the US and ranks 23rd out of the 26 programs CBS offers. Last year, the series was barely renewed, what will it be like this year? The Great Indoors is the only novelty in the chain that is “in the bubble” . While other comedies like Kevin Can Wait or Man With a Plan have already been renewed,
FOX
On the FOX side, it is for Gotham, The Last Man on Earth and New Girl that we worry . Gotham , whose season 3 has just resumed on the FOX, has not been renewed while that with which it forms a duet on Monday night, Lucifer , yes. The series is one of the ten best shows in the chain but the possible arrival of Gifted – a Marvel series – could perhaps push FOX to abandon Gotham to save money. In terms of The Last Man on Earth , hearings disclaim small to small, besides the basic premise of the series – one man survived the Apocalypse and is alone on Earth – began to s’ steam.
NBC
On NBC are the future of Blindspot, The Blacklist: Redemption and Timeless that are in the balance. Blindspot is currently completing its second season and the hearings are far from what they were at the beginning of the series. However, she has the merit of getting along not too badly in a difficult time slot, especially after leaving the lead-in of The Voice . But will this be enough for NBC to renew the series? As for The Blacklist: Redemption , which is the spin-off of The Blacklist , if the audiences of its eight episodes have been stable on average, the numbers remain well below those of the mother series. The series is at the bottom of the list of shows on NBC, with only Emerald City and Powerless behind it and we know that these two have already been canceled . Finally, the fate of Timeless is also uncertain because hearings began to be worse until reaching below the 3 million mark and below the 1% mark on 18-49 year olds. With Celebrity Apprentice as the lead-in in place of The Voice, Timeless works less well and it does not necessarily work in its favor. The fate of Timeless also is uncertain especially because the hearings began to be less good until reaching below the 3 million mark and below the 1% mark on 18-49 years old. With Celebrity Apprentice as the lead-in in place of The Voice, Timeless works less well and it does not necessarily work in its favor.

The CW
The CW has already renewed many of its series, but iZombie and The Originals are on the spot, a bit like every year. While season 3 of iZombie has just arrived on the channel, the hearings are not really in the fixed. However, the series Rob Thomas are often acclaimed by critics, as was Veronica Mars , and IZombie no exception to the rule. Can we then expect a season 4 to the series knowing that it hardly does better than Frequency which will most likely be canceled? If some thought that the end of The Vampire Diaries would play in favor of The Originals , the numbers say the opposite. With only 0.3% of 18-49 year-olds, Julie Plec’s series is far behind the series of superheroes that make the chain’s success. Moreover, the announcement of the departure of Michael Narducci does not announce anything good. One can always console oneself with the idea that the audiences, although very low, are stable and that the chain may want to keep the series .

The 100 season 4: Episode 3, Clarke sacrifices his people, our critic!

While the episode 3 of season 4 of The 100 has just been broadcast on the CW, let’s come back together on the main events that have paced “The Four Horsemen”!
The situation is deteriorating! And yes the meltynauts, in spite of all their efforts, our heroes find themselves faced with a phenomenon that surpasses them and which spreads faster and faster. Indeed, while they thought they were safe for another six months, the arrival of Luna and the last survivors of his clan offers the worst news: the apocalypse will take place in less than two months. While Melty’s editor suggested finding out what was going to happen in episode 3 of The 100’s Season 4 , let’s go back to the main events that punctuated “The Four Horsemen” aired last night on the CW . And the least we can say, Is that this episode was rich in revelations to the point perhaps to give us finally hope for the future of the characters we have been following for nearly four years. At Arkadia, it is total disillusionment. While Clarke and Bellamy thought that they had time to find a solution, they had to quickly realize that only a tiny fraction of the Skaikru could survive and now they had to make a list of the hundred people who would have that chance. A terrible decision that Clarke is not ready to take and the constant pressure of Raven does not help . The pretty engineer is, in fact, always as disappointed with the lack of honesty of the young woman and she intends to make him understand. Guardian of the clan’s last resources, She realizes, however, that she too must get wet and that putting the well-being of the majority first is not easy. By refusing to give the least amount of medicine to the Luna clan, the young woman takes her responsibilities even if the prospect of letting a nightblood die clearly terrifies us, we will admit it.
For his part, Murphy was returning to Arkadia. He realized that hunting was impossible outside the walls of his clan and that if Emori and he wanted to survive, he had to resume his bad habits and steal food. But where his evolution could have fallen into the water, the series decided to show us that Murphy had truly become a hero in his own way. While his father was killed for stealing drugs, he is doing the same to help Abby save a little girl. A gorgeous gesture that only confirms that Murphy is no longer the same and is now ready to commit to others . He will even explain to Emori that they must now become indispensable to be able to put their names on the famous list. Meanwhile, in a desperate drive, Clarke agreed to follow Jaha, who is convinced that he has found a bunker capable of keeping 1000 people alive. Bellamy is obviously of the party and the trio is heading for the bunker formerly run by a prophet who was convinced that he had the means to save a good part of the population before the first apocalypse. But in reality, all this was only a lie and Clarke, Bellamy and Jaha discover dozens of charred bodies. A terrible disappointment for the young woman who would have loved so much that things are arranged. Back in Arkadia, she decides to finalize the list but does not know if she deserves to add her name. Bellamy then takes things in hand and tries to convince her that there is hope.
At the same time, in Polis, Roan confides to Octavia a mission of the highest importance: to find the flame. The new guardian of the flame entered his home and stole it. So he needs his expertise to find her. Octavia agrees but hastens to tell him that Indra is part of the adventure whether he likes it or not. The opportunity for the two women to go back on the road and to be more badass than ever. And what is not our surprise when we learn that the guardian in question is none other than the daughter of Indra! The confrontation between Octavia and Gaia is all the more savory when she sees the two pupils of the Grounders warriors confront each other. After a rather virulent confrontation, Ally against Ilian who has only one idea in mind: to destroy all the technologies that could alienate them and we believed that the flame was going to pass there. Fortunately, Octavia had a plan of hell and all together they succeeded in saving the precious flame. Again, women are extremely strong in The 100 and it is a pleasure to see that even when Roan is the king, it is a woman who manages to maintain peace . Finally, the episode ended with important information: the nightbloods are immune to radiation, which means that there is a way to save everyone. But will they have time to do it? One thing is certain, the series is still exciting and we look forward to discovering the sequel. While waiting for more info, discover our critic of episode 2 of season 4 of The 100 on melty.
