Update 4/3/2022: Ordinary Joe has been canceled.

The Blacklist - Renewed

The series was once the buzziest show on TV, but it has fizzled out recently.

Mr. Mayor - Could Go Either Way

The series has lost steam in its second season, falling 42% in total viewers to around 2 million on average.

The show does have decent buzz, so it could eek out another renewal.

Kenan - Likely Cancellation

The series dipped 34% in the demo this season to become one of the lowest-rated scripted offerings on the cabler.

The numbers are not far away from the other comedies, but the decline in-between seasons could spell doom.

We'll have a clearer picture of how it stacks up in the coming weeks.
