ABC Cheat Sheet: What Will Be Renewed?

7. black-ish - Certain Renewal

black-ish has taken a substantial hit in its move to Tuesday nights. It is down over 20 percent to 4 million viewers and a 1.1 rating. But the show is recouping much of the loss with a 70 percent gain in delayed viewing.
The show is owned by ABC and still gets some traction on the awards front, so it will definitely make it to next season.
8. Scandal - Ending

There's nothing to fix here. The creative forces behind Scandal have opted to end the series after Season 7. It is currently averaging 5.1 million viewers and a 1.2 rating. This is down around 20 percent from last season.
The show is still a force in delayed viewing with gains of 90 percent.
9. Speechless - Likely Renewal

Speechless is down 25 percent to 4.4 million viewers and a 1.2 rating. It is still performing well for ABC, but it does not get the same amount of traction in DVR ratings. It is not owned by the network, but the odds are still in its favor. That may change if it continues to slip in the ratings.
10. Fresh Off the Boat - Likely Renewal

Fresh Off the Boat has been relatively stable this season. It is currently averaging 3.9 million viewers and a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49. Being stable bodes well for renewal, but the show is not owned by ABC. It is safe ... for now.
11. How to Get Away with Murder - Certain Renewal

How to Get Away with Murder has been trending downwards for much of its run. The latest season is down almost 30 percent to 3.7 million viewers and a 0.9 rating. The show catapults over 120 percent with DVR factored in. It is also owned by ABC meaning it will be back on the schedule in 2018-2019. There's no way ABC bids adieu to Murder and Scandal the same season.
12. Designated Survivor - Could Go Either Way

Designated Survivor is down over 30 percent to 4.3 million viewers and a 0.8 rating. It still enjoys gains of almost 140 percent in the adult demo with DVR factored in. It is owned by ABC, but the show has not been consistent of late. For now, it really could go either way.
