Here’s what’s been renewed and what has been dropped, network-by-network: ### Fox **Returning:** Unsurprisingly, Fox is bringing back its hyper-popular drama **_Empire_** as soon as possible next fall. Emmy-winning comedy **_Brooklyn Nine-Nine_**and the highly watched **_Last Man on Earth_** will also form the comedy bedrocks for the network, while**_New Girl_**will be pushed from a fall return to January (maybe because of low ratings or perhaps so the writers can sort out what to do with Zooey Deschanel’s baby bump). Also returning: **_Bob’s Burgers_** **,** **_Bones_** **,** **_Gotham_** **,** **_Family Guy_** **,** **_MasterChef_** **,** **_MasterChef Junior_** **,** **_The Simpsons_** **,** **_Sleepy Hollow_** **,** and**_So You Think You Can Dance._** **Canceled:** Fox announced that it would cancel the Mindy Kaling comedy, **_The Mindy Project_**, which has struggled in the ratings department despite featuring dozens of cameos from famous comedians, and the Kevin Bacon drama **_The Following_**. But don’t despair: either show could be resurrected on a streaming service like Hulu, if fans get heated enough. Other cancellations include **_Backstrom_**,**_Glee_**,**_Gracepoint_**, **_Hieroglyph_**, **_Mulaney_**, **_Red Band Society_**and **_Utopia_**. And after a 15 year run, **_American Idol_** will also [air its final season next fall](http://time.com/3853612/american-idol-canceled-last-season-fox/). ### ABC **Returning:** ABC is redoubling its commitment to diverse comedies by renewing **_Modern Family_**, **_Black-ish_**and **_Fresh Off the Boat_**. On the drama side, Shonda Rhimes’ Shondaland production company will continue to rule with **_Grey’s Anatomy_**, **_Scandal_** and **_How to Get Away With Murder_**. The Disney-owned network will also forge ahead with both of its Marvel projects, **_Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D._** and **_Agent Carter_**. Other renewals include **_American Crime_**, **_The Bachelor_**, **_Castle_**, **_Dancing With the Stars_**,**_Galavant_**, **_The Goldbergs_**, **_Last Man Standing_**, **_The Middle_**, **_Mistresses_**, **_Nashville_**, **_Once Upon a Time_**, **_Rookie Blue_**, **_Secrets and Lies_** and **_Shark Tank_**. **Canceled:** **_Revenge_** aired its final episode last week. Meanwhile, ABC also canceled **_Cristela_**, **_Forever_**, **_Manhattan Love Story_**, **_Resurrection_**, **_Selfie_** and **_The Taste_**_._ ### The CW **Returning:** The CW took steps to compete critically with the other networks this year with **_Jane the Virgin,_** with star Gina Rodriguez becoming the first from the network to win a Golden Globe. The network is renewing that show along with most of its original programming: **_The 100_**, **_America’s Next Top Model_**, **_Arrow_**, **_Beauty and the Beast_**,**_The Flash_**, **_Masters of Illusion_**, **_The Originals_**, **_Penn & Teller: Fool Us_**, **_Reign_**, **_Supernatural_**, **_The Vampire Diaries_**, **_Whose Line Is It Anyway?_** and **_iZombie_**. **Canceled:** Rachel Bilson’s **_Hart of Dixie_** got the ax after four seasons, as did **_The Messengers_** after one. ### NBC **Returning:** After continuing to grow through its second season, the popular drama **_The Blacklist_** will return next year, along with **_The Biggest Loser_**, **_Celebrity Apprentice_**, **_Chicago Fire_**, **_Chicago P.D._**, **_Grimm_**, **_Hannibal_**, **_Hollywood Game Night_**, **_Law & Order: SVU_**, **_Mysteries of Laura_**, **_Undateable_**and **_The Voice_**_._ **Returning:** NBC’s freshman shows largely struggled this year with only one (**_Mysteries of Laura_**) making it to a second season. Shows canceled after one season include **_A to Z_**, **_Allegiance_**, **_Bad Judge_**, **_Constantine_**, **_Marry Me_**, **_One Big Happy_** and **_State of Affairs_** (sorry, Katherine Heigl). **_About a Boy_**, **_Parenthood_** and**_Parks and Recreation_** all ended their runs this year as well. ### CBS **Returning:** CBS has yet to announce its full schedule. We do know that ratings juggernaut **_The Big Bang Theory_** will return for seasons nine and 10 as will **_2 Broke Girls_**, **_Big Brother_**, **_Scorpion_**, **_Mike & Molly_**, **_Mom_** and **_NCIS: New Orleans_**. The show’s new drama, the Tea Leoni-fronted _Madam Secretary,_ has also been renewed **Canceled:** **_The Mentalist_** will retire after seven seasons. **_The Millers_**and **_Two and a Half Men_**have also concluded their runs. **TBD:** Though **_The Good Wife_**, **_The Amazing Race_** and **_The Odd Couple_** are shoo-ins for renewal, CBS has yet to announce those shows will come back for sure. Vince Gilligan’s **_Battle Creek_** is also up for review. Other shows waiting for renewal: **_Blue Bloods_**, **_Criminal Minds_**, **_CSI_**, **_CSI: Cyber_**, **_Elementary_**, **_Hawaii Five-O_**, **_NCIS_**, **_NCIS: Los Angeles_**, **_The McCarthys_**, **_Person of Interest_**, **_Stalker_**, **_Survivor_** and **_Undercover Boss_**. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3853661/upfronts-tv-shows-renewed-canceled/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3853661/upfronts-tv-shows-renewed-canceled/"},"headline":"These Are All the TV Shows That Have Been Renewed and Canceled So Far","datePublished":"2015-05-11T16:22:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:05:32.852Z","description":"Long-running and beloved shows like The Mindy Project, The Mentalist and American Idol are coming to an end","url":"https://time.com/3853661/upfronts-tv-shows-renewed-canceled/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9870be28a85b66e0/6987eeb6cd1bbaae686f9562/467071020.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9870be28a85b66e0/6987eeb6cd1bbaae686f9562/467071020.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Mindy Project - Season 3","caption":"The Mindy Project - Season 3","creditText":"Adam Taylor—NBC/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3853661/upfronts-tv-shows-renewed-canceled/","name":"These Are All the TV Shows That Have Been Renewed and Canceled So Far"}}]}] ```
