Making it on network television these days is no easy feat. Fall 2025 brought nine new shows to the major networks, and some have already been renewed for a Season 2. But while those series’ crushed it in the ratings, others haven’t done so hot, leaving their fates up in the air, and we’re looking ahead to what the future holds.

Ratings can make or break a TV show, and TV Insider is breaking down how the new fall 2025 shows stacked up in the ratings department. Based on those numbers, we’ve made our predictions about which shows stand a shot at getting renewed, and which may meet a worse fate: being canceled. As always, there are some series’ with niche followings and social media buzz that could keep them running for future seasons, even without the ratings to back up that decision.

From spinoffs such as 9-1-1: Nashville, Boston Blue, and Sheriff Country, to new comedies including Stumble and DMV, as well as game shows (99 to Beat and Celebrity Weakest Link), and even a new singing competition (The Road), there’s a lot to unpack.

Scroll down for a look at how these new shows performed during the fall 2025 season and to find out our predictions about their futures.

*Celebrity Weakest Link*

**Premiered:** Monday, September 15

**Prediction:** It looks like it might be one and done for *Celebrity Weakest Link* at Fox.

The series was revived on NBC in 2020 and aired for three seasons, but the ratings have taken a dip since moving to Fox.

**Average**: 0.168 rating, 1.432 million viewers

*99 to Beat*

**Premiered:** Sunday, September 21

**Prediction:** This quirky game show has some hope of returning.

The ratings started out strong with 3.117 million viewers and a .76 rating in the 18-49 demo, but it had the advantage of a lead-in from Sunday Night Football. When the show moved to Wednesdays, it dipped to 1.762 million viewers with a .24 rating.

However, the ratings were consistent throughout the rest of the season, and after the finale, the Reality Club Fox teased another installment in an Instagram post that said, “See you next season!”

**Average**: 0.280 rating, 1.852 million viewers

*9-1-1: Nashville*

**Premiered:** Thursday, October 9

**Prediction:** ABC will probably give *9-1-1: Nashville* at least one more shot with a Season 2.

Although the ratings dipped every week (the premiere had 3.752 million viewers and a .29 rating, while the midseason finale only raked in 2.702 million viewers and a .20 rating), the *9-1-1* fandom is strong, and there’s still a chance the spinoff could return.

**Average**: 0.251 rating, 3.283 million viewers

*Stumble*

**Premiered:** Friday, November 7

**Prediction:** It’s not looking good for *Stumble*.

It’s a little early to tell, but compared to other NBC comedies, it’s not performing great. The show started out with 2.016 million viewers and a .18 rating, but dipped down to 1.764 million viewers in Episode 3 (although it remained consistent in the key demo). NBC tends to give new sitcoms a chance with renewals, but considering how well some of the network’s other comedies have been doing, *Stumble* may fall a bit flat.

**Average**: .162 rating, 1.777 million viewers

On Brand With Jimmy Fallon

Premiered: Tuesday, September 30

Prediction: The people love Jimmy Fallon, but this concept just isn’t working, and likely won’t see a second season.

Viewership declined throughout the season, starting with 2.042 million and a .22 rating, and consistently lowering each week until the final episode, which brought in 1.459 million viewers and a .15 rating.

Average (eight episodes): .166 rating, 1.668 million viewers
