We’re only a few weeks into the 2019-2020 season, and there’s already good news for some of the new network shows on TV.

Sixteen new series — seven comedies and nine dramas — debuted this fall on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and The CW, and while a couple have already been all but officially canceled, we know a few that will be sticking around.

Click through the gallery above for an up-to-date status report on which new shows will be coming back for more after their initial orders.

    Definitely False! Emergence is doing great!

    1) Emergence has the third largest audience of all new broadcast shows this year when you look at +35 ratings (see latest Hollywood reporter piece on this – https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/stumptown-prodigal-son-lead-first-year-shows-35-day-ratings-1262664). These numbers do not take into account Hulu – not even sure they count ABC.com either! So many more people watching there.

    2) Karey Burke, president of ABC television, noted explicitly that they are moving from reporting same day ratings to looking at +35 ratings because this reflects the new reality of how people consume TV! https://www.adweek.com/tv-video/tv-ratings-system-broken-abc-karey-burke-brandweek/

    And never mind that Tuesday nights, 10pm, are one of the very toughest spots on TV!

    Emergence has a really huge audience. Nielsen same day ratings definitely do not tell the whole picture.

    Was so looking forward to Nancy Drew. I grew up with these books. First scene, first show there she is getting out of bed with a guy! This is not my Nancy Drew and not my show.

    only a few i watch, after watching all of these , most SHOULD be cancelled , except for carols second act, evil ( of course after they go more soap opera and have the "priest" and woman "will they or wont they" which already started, will take away from the show it will suck ), unicorn is good but dont see it lasting long, prodigal son can do 2-3 seasons , emergence should get a 2nd season atleast.

    the rest never should have even made it past discussion, sorry bluff city ,all rise mixed-ish, nancy drew,stumptown,bless the harts,almost family,sunnyside,perfect harmony,bob hearts abishola, and the WORST one "batwoman" are terrible, i tried to watch each show, made it through 2-3 episodes each, cringe-worthy isnt a bad enough word for them.

    Favorite new show is Prodigal Son. Evil is good too, if a little dark. Could do without so much of the kids. I'd like Stumptown a lot more if the music wasn't so damn loud that I can't hear/ understand a word they are saying.A lot of shows seem to have this problem.

    How many episodes in a full-season order? I'm especially interested in the CBS half hour comedies.

      it seems now shows run between 18-24 depending on budget, ratings and scheduling. I think the standard is 22.
